Lighting problem?

(Xterm1n8or) #1

Hi,

I made a few changes (structural) to my map, compiled, and then played it. Now i get really dark patches. They look like shadows, only i can’t tell from what it is from.

I have a copy of the bsp, before i made any changes, in a pk3. I host a game and start my map, all ok. So, i copied bsp from pk3 and replaced the other one with this. I start the map via console:
/sv_pure 0
/g_gametype 2
/developer 1
/devmap mymap

I still get these really dark patches. Can’t figure it out :confused:

This is what it should like like:

Hope someone can help, thanks.

have you compiled only the bsp part or also the vis and light ?

If you use the new bsp file with the old “light-files” ( the lm_0000.tga etc ) this can happen.
try to replace the “old” light-files with the “new” light-files in your pk3, maybe this will fix it.

nice looking map so far :smiley:

Thanks Ganjaman :smiley:

I didn’t actually include them in the pk3, are you supposed to? I did remove them and put them on my desktop for now, and it all seems ok again.
I will recompile shortly, i’m assuming this will generate new ones and will see if still ok.
I’m not too sure on these compile options so i always use a full one. It only takes a minute (literally) on my machine. I also tend to build my maps in sections (like this one).
The compile option i use is:
BSP -meta, -vis -saveprt, -light -fast -samples 2 -patchshadows -v

Thanks again.

EDIT recompiled and all ok again, many thanks :cool:

Sorry for not being able to help you. But I’m glad to hear that everything works again. I like this scene really!
It somehow reminds me of Isenstadt, there is a similar scene in Wolfenstein.
Great work :slight_smile:

Well spotted KeMoN :tongue:

It’s actually my reconstruction of Dowtown. I had just finished Wolfenstein and got the urge to build something. Didn’t know what, so i thought i would try to recreate this. I havn’t given much if any thought of what the objective is going to be, i’m just building for the fun of it atm :smiley:

Where did you source the red brick and stone textures from? Been looking for something similar for my own project.

Looks really good so far by the way!

Thanks .Chris. :slight_smile:

All tex are stock except of course the brick. It’s a freeware tileable one (can’t remember where exactly, was quite some time ago), but had to change alot as it was originally very orange.

The pic doesnt look to great as i had to reduce quality so it would be less than 100kb

I had this wish once too to build a scene from isenstadt, but I’ve never started it because it would be too big. But I hope you can realize this project, really! :slight_smile: Don’t stop this project, mate :wink:
