Lightmap problem

by Nathan Kent · in Torque Game Engine · 10/10/2007 (4:25 pm) · 1 replies

I've been using Torque Constuctor to make several buildings, but recently when I try to export it, Constructor tells me that the light map is too large. How do I fix that?

It sounds like you possibly have one of two issues:

A) You have a face/brush that is too large and its lightmap is too large. Try cutting it up into smaller pieces.
or
B) Your DIF is too complex, has to many complex intersecting brushes, or there are simply too many brushes all-together. Reduce intersecting brushes, simply DIF, etc.

There are also options to change the lightmap size within Constructor, under Scene->Manage Lighting Profiles. You can play around with these settings to see if you can get things to work, this could be the problem as well.
