sector lighting gradations

I'm sure this had been asked before, but Search did not find what I'm looking for.

I have several sectors with an increasing brightness of 2.

which is rendered in-game like this

which shows three distinct brightness zones.

I applied evenlighting and smoothlighting in a MAPINFO lump, with the same results.

Is there something I could do, to avoid these distinct breaks ?

You'll have to use a different light mode. (Standard seems to work.) Doom/Dark try to emulate software lighting behavior at certain levels.

I had it set to Dark.

Looks good when set to Standard

Thank you

No problem.

For expressly non-DooM projects, I've actually switched entirely to Standard mode for finer control of the lighting. Unfortunately no editor is capable of mimicking this yet (as far as I know), so a lot of testing is involved.

... and if your map depends on it, don't forget to set it in MAPINFO. ;)
