Is there a faster way to import and export lightmaps?
I’ve been sticking the export switch in the light stage, which works fine… but what if you already have a map compiled and you want to snag the lightmaps? I’d rather not recompile the lighting…
What about importing them? What’s the best way to import light maps?
Both -import and -export operate as top-level commands. Using -export as a top level command will export the lightmaps from a previously lit BSP. Likewise, -import will re-import the lightmap TGA images back into that BSP.
However, do not re-BSP your map…imported lightmaps will only work on the unmodified BSP they were exported from.
