ok my map have no light effects but im useing a fire sfx to provide the light effect but when i did an advance pk3 test for some off the effects the map loads as a metta not a vislight so all my fire effect lights are no good as its very bright daylight effect on loadup.
i tryed putting the vis save light effect folder (from GTK) into the maps folder as i read in another tutorial it named same as my map
Correct me if I’m wrong: But You did a meta+vis+light compile, but after checking the map ingame the light stage is missing? So the compiler only did a meta+vis compile?
yep if i run as a devmap it works fine but if i pk3 the map and run it that way it works as a meta vis
ok, If the map runs fine in devmap it means that the compiler did it’s job and compiled the -light stage and therefor created ligtmap files ( tga format)
Check your pk3 to see if it includes those lightmaps:
They should be in:
maps/yourmapname/lm_0000.tga
maps/yourmapname/lm_0001.tga
maps/yourmapname/lm_0002.tga
and so on…
