Hello

I have a problem with lighting. When i press a "wall" door, window or terrain the lights gets brighter and wont go down again, untill i close and then open the image again.
So far i have only goten the problem in the Starfinder setting, could't recreate it in Pathfinder 1e setting for example.

You have player view activated and It looks like you have a token selected in the first age and the lighting is based on. The tokens vision. The second image does not seem to have a token so you are seeing a general player view of the map lights. The lighting is working correctly if that's the case.

The problem is still there with or without player vision, its just easyer to spot it. here are two more pictures and all i have done beteen them is open and close the window-"wall" i have markt at the second picture. the more i try to open/close any wall thing on the map, the more the lights increase.

Something is off. The second shows the lights, the first does not. What rules and extensions are you using?

I run Starfinder too. Which Starfinder AP has this map? I will load it and see if I'm getting the same problem.

I tried it with Pathfinder 1e now and problem is there as well. thou i dont have any premade maps with light on Pathfinder 1e. but my own maps have the bug as well.

In Starfinder i have Dead Sun 1-3 and the problem is on any map. just tried it with the "Map: The Splice" thou i had to opce/close a door(blue) to get it. The fens (the window, yellow did't affect now)

All i do to get the problem is to open the image and press a any other open/close LoS thing. i dont do anything else on the image, thou i see it clearer when i have player vision on, but its still there with GM vision. The problem gets reset if i close the image and reopen it again.

I have tested a bit now, and i can remake the problem in any rulesystem, curantly trying in Pathfinder 2e.
I think i have more info now. it only happens when i have light sources that is on different layers. And then opce/close a LoS thing, but if i remove the light sources and reopen the image, the problem is gone. and it comes back when i add a new light in a different layer again.

@BGCMadrix,
Is there a specific set of steps that you use adding to a map that always generates the issue?

Thanks,
