2nd map goes black

Hi, for some people my 2nd map goes completely black and i know this isnt due to an scripting error. Because my friend opened the map in the editor and it showed it completely black. Anyone knows why this may happen?

RE: 2nd map goes black

You could try this thing out.
First take a copy of your map file so I don't ruin it!

then open it with a notepad, (put XML as language so its easier to watch)

Then replace the performance and viewport config's with some map's ones that works.
like this
Spoiler below!

<Performance CamClipPlanes="0.05 1000" LightsActive="true" PSActive="true" ShowFog="true" ShowSkybox="true" WorldReflection="true" />
<ViewportConfig BGColor="0.2 0.2 0.2 1" GAmbientLight="true" GPointLight="false" GridSnap="false" GridSnapSeparation="0.25" SelectedViewport="3" UsingEnlargedViewport="true">
<Viewport CameraPosition="-0.513922 6.07617 178.79" CameraTarget="-0.513922 6.07617 -1.20986" CameraZoom="0" GridHeight="-1.20986" GridPlane="2" Preset="0" RenderMode="1" ShowAxes="true" ShowGrid="true" UsingLTCam="true" />
<Viewport CameraPosition="179.486 6.07617 -1.20986" CameraTarget="-0.513922 6.07617 -1.20986" CameraZoom="0" GridHeight="-0.513922" GridPlane="0" Preset="1" RenderMode="1" ShowAxes="true" ShowGrid="true" UsingLTCam="true" />
<Viewport CameraPosition="-0.513922 186.076 -1.20986" CameraTarget="-0.513922 6.07617 -1.20986" CameraZoom="0" GridHeight="6.07617" GridPlane="1" Preset="2" RenderMode="1" ShowAxes="true" ShowGrid="true" UsingLTCam="true" />
<Viewport CameraPosition="29.0746 9.18319 26.2465" CameraTarget="20.8886 1.75 30.8191" CameraZoom="1.43" GridHeight="1.75" GridPlane="1" Preset="3" RenderMode="0" ShowAxes="true" ShowGrid="true" UsingLTCam="true" />
</ViewportConfig>


Or did you mean its black inside the game?

RE: 2nd map goes black

Have you tried to click "A" and "P" on the bottom of the level editor?
Do you have any lights (point light, spot light, box light) in your map?
...any candles?

What system do they have? Does their hpl.log provide any insight?
