At one point, I would get this weird lighting error, where all of my characters would change to a texture that seemed like it wasn't lit at all. I would fix the error by restarting the engine, but at some point I got tired of doing that. So, I decided to build lighting. Unfortunately, not all of my lights were moveable, and this caused a series of light baking errors that completely crushed my lighting. I basically had to re-do it from scratch. Hoping never to make this mistake again.
