what do you need radiosity for?

I ran sapien with all the maps I make, and I can see everything just fine.

Well i'm not very new at making maps, (i'm used to modding them) do I run radiosity or what? I'm watching a tutorial, but i still get a white-covered map.

How did you run radiosity? I had this problem before when I forgot to save the radiosity. How I learned is that you type radiosity_quality 0 (for a quick test. If you upload the map, change the 0 to a 1) then radiosity_start (at this point the map will go a funny colour). Then (this is the bit I forgot & it caused my map to stay a funny colour) type radiosity_save (this should show your map with textures etc. now). I have also had it suggested to me that this can be caused by shader problems, so I guess you could check them while you are at it anyways.

So this is what i basicly did,

1. I ran radiosity_quailty 1

2. Then radiostiy_start

3. And finally radiosity_save, the map in sapien is still white with a clear sky.


I have my 3 shaders and my 3 textures as well, and I don't know why the map is white in the first picture, I'm sure that I never saved the map.
