Ok so for some reason I can't get udk to display the materials anymore. After i went light only mode I cant go back. I've tried all the other modes but nothing is working.
Did you set the correct UV set for the lightmap (Light Map Coordinate Index)? It's hard to see everything that's going on, a screenshot in lighting only mode (Alt+6) might help.
Thanks for the input. I think the problem with the shadows is fixed. As for being stuck in lighting only mode i'm just going to reinstall. I tried it at school and everything was fine there so that seems to be the issue. Thanks again for the help.
