Why is it when I add a placable to my area it is overly bright and does not adhere to the lighting settings of the level. Is there a fix for this or not! It makes no sense as to wht they are like this and looks bloody awful.
Any ideas anyone?

You'd probably have better luck asking in the custom content forum - as I recall, interactive placeables aren't affected by the lightmaps - so maybe they have to be changed to blend in better with the room they're placed in.

How badly are they standing out? Worse, or similar to the main game?
Lighting is pre-baked into a level, so placeables aren't a part of that process. They are never going to blend in perfectly. Shadows from the level won't be cast on them, and the shadows they cast don't look as good. To some extent this was intentional, to make placeable noticable to the player.
Still, they shouldn't look terrible. If they are really glowing brightly there may be something wrong with the level lighting settings.

I figured it out and yes David you were correct it was the lighting, much better now. It took 3 days to figure out the lighting was to blame as there is no real tutorials on the lighting at all especially outdoor lighting and that is where my problem was. I hope the new TS patch will fix all this water and shadow business and I am going to write a small tutorial on exterior lighting I think as ther is no clear indication on how to do it properly! I was also having the same lighting problem on props until I figured out the lighting solutions.
Thanks again!
David I am having a problem with my merchant script as well armour sets dont give bonus nor does enchantment work as the slots disappear, any ideas it has me stumped, its stopping me releasing my AIS Emporium (now with two custom outdoor areas and a nice little quest included)
Where has the search engine gone !!!!!!
