Any help with that one? I get no error in lights..nothing special in structure either but yet, it finished lightmaps in about 15 minutes( stays a 0.00000 until it says completed) and it's completly black. I openned debug_lighhtmap and made it all white, changed the path in Scenario_structure_BSP to my white lightmaps to no avail....




Structure:


03.16.08 19:18:25 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------

03.16.08 19:21:27 i'm going to render debug lightmaps for rpg_alpha5 of levels\coq\coq, and i'll stop when red+blue+green = 0.900000.
Hit control-c now if this isn't right.

try sapien

It does say it creates a bitmap for it.. but it's totally black.

Tool lightmaps levels\coq\coq rpg_alpha5 0 0.9

If I write levels\coq\rpg_alpha5 rpg_alpha5 it jsut says done without doing anything. My JMS is RPG_Alpha5.JMS placed in the levels\coq folder( work title was coq until I changed name for RPG_Alpha5)

I didn't edit the sky. It's a custom one but it worked last week when i last ran lights

do hand made lightmaps. open paint, create a huge pure blue sheet. place filled white boxes the sizes of each of the bitmaps within the lightmap bitmap. then compile that over your phailed lightmap :P (I normaly run lightmaps without a sky witch takes seconds, then I make my lightmaps witch is 500X faster :P)

I tryed that sort of. I opened Debug_lightmaps and selected everything that the alpha channel had made ''white'' and made it white... then changed it in Structure_scenario but it still was black

your skybox has +sky right.. and not another texture correct?

of course it does... I can see my sky perfectly from the map. Ity's just 100% unlit. using flashlight lets me see but thats all.

oh. Redo structure.. or did you do that?

I did a couple of times^^ Trying lights again... I can't see what would be wrong.

Did you type all the radiosity commands in console in sapien?

Radiosity_quality [0 or 1]

radiosity_start

radiosity_save

I run lightmaps in Tool as I posted updwards. I tryed again to no avail, it takes about 20 minutes and itr creates a completly unlit BSP.

that happened to me once, can't quite remember what i did to fix it... I think i played around in guerrilla for a while.

ill have to revert changes I guess.

try a different sky.

SHADERS! that was it! The default shaders were screwy so I had to make new, custom ones.

Hmm... I'll have to try later on. i re ran bitmaps and it didn't help but hm..
