Notice how the lighting where the platforms curve is funky? Well the curved parts are made up of three patches, one of the the inner darker part, one for the middle lighter part, and one for the outer darker part. I'm at a loss as too how to fix this, I tried func grouping them and adjusting the _lightmapscale key, to no avail. If I have to, I can just construct them out of detail brushes, they werent so detailed that it should cause too much of a problem. Any suggestions on how to fix the lighting and continue using patches though?

Personally, I'd make those brush surfaces out of patches and merge them with the other patch.

Ok, I figured out what you said, and tried it... it still looks funky where the dark and light patches line up though. And the lighting on the individual patches themselves looks... wierd.

I said "merge them", meaning you turn it into one big patch.

are the patches func_grouped?
if so, ungrouping them might help.

I followed GothicX's suggestion and it worked. Top curve is the one made following his suggestion, bottom curve is the original design.
