[spoiler screenshot]
Spoiler text:
Its surely a pain in the ass to light out areas like this. Although I am using every known trick (Cylinderlights, Non-Incidence, Special Lit Lights, Bright Corners, High Shadow Detail) it is sometimes not enough, however I am satisfied with the result. Currently I have lighted around 2/5 of the map. Piece py piece I make progress. I hope I can finish this level at the end of the week. Maybe also an other smaller one.

Lighting is a lot of gamma-uped. (unless I would not see anything) but misaligned textures? Yearh some of them, but I dont use a model program, its rather difficult so to align perfectly, I guess you mean the walls?!
I will see if I can correct some of them, but can not promise anything.

I must say that lighting severely breaks immersion and atmosphere, due to how fractured it is. There's probably no way around it with in the Unreal Engine 1, but perhaps you can experiment with pre-baking lighting on textures or something? Right now all those cuts in the geometry are way too obvious. Or you could try and turn the trees into meshes and apply smoothing to them..

Yep, the mountains. One misalignment is right visible behind the tree on the left hand side. Actually it's the only one I see there

The treebarks into meshes? No way. Those things are huge.
Anyway here again a pic with more or less corrected surfaces, this is what I could do.

Pic without any change. I can not see there anything, surely thanks to my old (good?) CRT.
You will ever see transitions there. You can rotate and align the brushes only in a limited way. I guess I dont need to tell you that some surfaces seems to be a little bit wrong. (like as if you would only use u or v scale).
@UBers: Ok, corrected by this way the mountains a little bit, too.

LOL, this is no new lighting. UBers.
This is - with the expection I re-aligned some surfaces - the same screenshot. Only with the difference I did not change the gamma (what I made with the previous screenshot: to 2.00). I told you, I have a pretty old CRT. I guess you know the problems with those old monitors.
