Map compiler.

Cause I have no idea how else I can put at least 20 light sources. Without map compiler, I guess this engine is good only for open-space games.

You can put 20 light sources but you will need to be mindful of how many are creating dynamic shadows. Constantly updating realtime shadows from multiple pointlights will drop framerate dramatically.

But what am I suppose to do? How are you guys lightening scenes?

In le2 spotlights were said to be more economical than point lights. If this is true you can alter the angles of a spotlight and get a more dramatic effect than a point light offers. with less cost in performance.

The problem was your point lights had large ranges and had occlusion culling disabled.

Yup, true.

Yep, that will do it. Overlapping pointlights set with dynamic shadows seem to get people all the time. Occlusion culling should be enabled on all lights and animated models as discussed in the Scene Panel tutorial. Also, there have been multiple discussions that have some useful tidbits of information on how to design your scene to run optimally:
