WIP: "Somewhere is Estonia"


(onu123) #41

im getting angry! lights are not workin… i wanted to “light up my world” made my little light brush, added all the keys (100% correct) and built a bsp (singletest) -light -fast

mmmm and what to you guess?

the world it black as a *** hole only water is pretty see-able


(=SC=Beef) #42

could try adding a small amount of ambient that will slightly lighten up all you map, then add your light entities where needed.
i cant remember the command off the top of my head, but im sure others do

and dont forget light emmiting textures found in textures/lights


(carnage) #43

light brush? sounds like a pretty unconventional way to get light

try deselecting everyhting then right clicking on ur grid. when there chose light and set a value. press k to chose a light colour unless you want to keep the defualt

then compile. if you map is as black as an *** hole then that show that you have compiled corrently for light since you have generate black lightmaps just had no lights to brighten them

okey!!! my lights are working (wee!!!)
i wanted to light my whole world up so i made a light brush and used key: “light”
value: 30000 and that did the work (thats what i wanted to know whole the time, how big the number of lights value must be)

anyway a pickture:

but still the shadows are… weird, like stairs!

Correct sky is emitting light also.


(onu123) #46

i cant make correct stuff just yet


(Shaderman) #47

But you can use existing correct stuff like textures/skies/sd_wurzburgsky for your sky :wink:


(carnage) #48

but still the shadows are… weird, like stairs!

you need to grab yourself the latest q3map2 and rejoice for it has improved lighting compile features making the staircase effect much less obvious


(onu123) #49

shadows got owned!!! ther not like stairs anymore. (wee)


(=PoW= Kernel 2.6.5) #50

As far as the swastikas(sp?) and Hitler images go…

Not only will some people find them offensive, they are actually ILLEGAL in places such as Germany.
That’s is why the red team in ET and RTCW is called the Axis and their flag does not contain any swastikas.

Just something to consider.
