ive been following the ghost's tutorails but when ever i load my scenario file and all i see is a blue screen and not the backround. and when i run radiosity i can see my map but its pitch black. and yes ive tried the dual-core freindly version of sapien by E3pOPC

did you type radiosity_save after it has finished?

i havent tryed to play the map but i can't see any thing in sapien

you either have to use tool to run lightmaps. What this means is that it will place the lighting in you map "so you dont only see black" here is the tool command tool.exe lightmaps levels\mylevel\mylevel mylevel 0 0.9 or use tool++ i think it can do it as well but not sure.

The other method is to open sapain any version will do and run radiosity and when it has finished you then type radiosity_save and if all is correct in you map it should now be able to be seen in sapain.

I hope this is a bit more clear

P.s. please post the last part of your debug.txt file which is in the halo ce root directory afrter you have run light maps or radiosity.

i ran radiosity and i see a blue backround but when i look at my level i see that it is completly black and the only way i can tell that its my map is by the mountain geometry

if you have saved the radiosity then it sounds like there has been a error in the uvw map of the level so can you post the section of your debug.txt file here. this will tell me if there has been a error or not please.

all right i got my map into sapien with a backround and i ran radiosity and saved it but my map layout is a whitish grey and its not a snow map

my map is tessalated to 512 faces on the floor if thats what your asking

make shaders.
and the numbers listed there are the correct sizes for tiffs ( nothing to do with the faces on ur map)

post the last part of debug.txt
