i redid radiosity on bloodgulch with a new sky and this happened:



does anyone know how to fix this?

corrupted bitmaps?
you might want to re-rip bloodgulch, overwriting any tags in the process/

i fixed it. it was because there was already a bloodgulch and yes i renamed my version. but it still had the same structure bsp so tool was trying to add the lightmaps from the original bloodgulch to the new lightmaps that i made and they clashed.

Have you LOOKED at a lightmap bitmap? Pixels correspond to faces and stuff.
Just redo lightmaps in tool.

no i did and in sapien it looks like this:



but when i compiled it in tool it said it changed something (amount in kb here) than expected (higher amount in kb here). it expected the default lightmaps from the original bloodgulch but it found the new ones and mixed them together. and yes i've looked at light maps. and i fixed it by basically making a copy of the structure bsp and renaming it.

Yeah, but... use tool.

i did omg. and its fixed. so stop posting.

Tool lightmaps are lower quality than Sapien. Sapien lightmaps are superior for a final build.

yea i know. and i dont really know how to make it work in tool. it says done but the map isn't lighted so i said screw it and do it in sapien now. i said i did it in tool to shut him up. i mean really. the picture is right there showing the lightmaps are fine and he's still telling me to do the lightmaps lol.
