I started making a new map, and I decided I would do the lighting myself. Well, when it got to lighting the first built room, I set up a light in the ceiling. However, it doesn't show and the crappy pseudo-lighting is what's used. Why is this? Is there something I need to do first?

Make sure you're not using the -fast option with VRAD, and also check to make sure you don't have any leaks.

Nope, that's not it. Set to normal, and I put a hollowed box around it so there are no leaks. Still nothing.
