Ok no matter what I do I can't get the dark areas to go away. So far I've UberLightmapped. I've used the LOD Remover. I've cleared my cache. The only area it's not dark is around me. I don't know what else to do. Can someone please help me. Thanks. Also not sure if it makes a difference but I skinned these. I didnt skin them black as you can tell from the picture, it is skinned a darkish grey.

Click it to enlarge.

wait... so are you saying it's black and when you get close to it it looks like it should? That's just because you skinned it and it has to load the different bitmaps rather than the regular ones.

Yeah but what about when like entire levels are skinned? How is the enitre level displayed in its true color?

I haven't really had that problem but I've seen it so I can't really help you there. I'll try though.
You could null out some of the sounds or other effects and see if that works.

So does anyone else have any idea. Another person on the files site said it may be a bumpmap thing. Anyone have any ideas?
