i can't get rid of it. i have rendered lightmaps in single player, rendered light probes, done all local posts, then copied the folder from the packages folder to my own modules core folder but my character is still pitch black when he's standing among light scources that doesn't affect him. i have four light scources outside of my level that are there to just light the character but they don't seem to have any affect.

first and most imported: are you using multiple rooms? are you placing the lights in a separated room? with room i don't mean the 3d-model geometry but the room object at the left side of the editor. you have to place the lights inside the correct room or if you are using a separate room edit the properties and add a reference to additional lights in adjacent rooms.

the lights that are supposed to light the character have been placed outside all rooms in the 3-d model but they are inside the room you see in the picture when it comes to the list of rooms on the left.

when i make a little room with a yellow light outside of it my character lights up in the game. i didn't even put in a light probe. why doesn't this simple thing work on my other level?

What kind of light sources are lighting the character? Try to add a static light with high intensity (+3), make sure it's on affect characters and place it next to the character spawn.

i was thinking that the problem might have to do with that my character lights are put in a room and when the player exits that room they don't light him up anymore?

yes that turns out to be the case. but i shouldn't be forced to put character lights for each room? the light probe doesn't seem to do anything.

i have character lights outside the level that works but they only work for the room they're assigned to. in all other rooms the character is black.

the easiest way to test is to create a separate room and place 3 to 4 static lights (only affect characters) within. these lights are placed outside the geometry of your level with a big enough radius to cover all the geometry, like a radius of 2000. then open the room properties of this room and add all the other rooms of your level to "lit rooms". it think that's your problem

open the room properties? i get the object inspector when i right click on the room and choose properties. there is no lit room property in there.

I don't know if this is bad optimization or if it's the right way to do, but; I use baked lights for almost everything and create seperate static lights (not affect level, affect character) next to them to shine on the player. There are some occasions I use low intensity static lights to light objects that doesn't seem to receive light from baked lights (when some objects appear as too dark).
I would expect that static lights require more resources than baked lights. I never use them as environment light sources.
