Entities are black once placed [SOLVED]

Hey everyone, I was messing around with the new fancy editor and while placing down some entities I noticed that all of them are literally turning into a black color with some reflections on them.

Here's a shot to present my problem (as you can see I even tried placing a pointlight down, nothing happened at all)

Spoiler below!

Somebody? Anybody?

Thanks ahead of time

Oh forgot to mention. Running on Windows 8.1 PRO, and Amd HD 7800 gpu. Got the latest drivers yesterday

EDIT

This issue seems to be fixed, at least for me!

Now where did I hear about this? Someone mentioned you had to add some layer or material or something like that. Don't quite remember but I did read it somewhere hear.

This was on that thread, but it was about terrain. Terrain works perfectly fine for me. Oh, also, static objects seem to be working fine too. The only one issue are the entities.

Also, opened up some entities in model editor and those work fine there. They won't work as they should in the level editor, though.

Perhaps there is something required to do. While waiting for an answer you can look through the wiki. There's an entire forest of new information there.

Seems like a wise thing to do, thanks for suggesting it.

In the properties at the right, click "Entity". Open the tab "Appearance" (It might appear as red), change the ColoMul property from black to "White".

That fixes it in the Editor, I don't know how it affects it in-game yet.

Thanks, but seriously, do I have to untick that little dingleberry every time I place an object down?

RE: Entities are black once placed

Might be a bug, as I would assume that it should be set to white by default.

Do you as well have to change the values once placed the entity down, or is it just me having issues?
