What's a "Light Map"?

by Peter Geiss · in Constructor · 04/18/2007 (3:27 pm) · 1 replies

I am using an OLDER VERSION of Map2Dif and Constructor gives me this message EXACTLY:

Light Map too large: 826X100 (where Max is 256X 256). You have a Brush that is too large or your Light Map scale may be too small.

How can I change the size of the light map?

Light map is the way BSP add's "LIGHT" onto the textures, its an behind the scenes texture that is black and white, applied to a brush face, it generates the ILLUSION that there is light shining on the brushface.

You could try finding any LONG/BIG brush in the map, and cutting them in two.
Or goto the WORLDSPAWN entity and change your "light_geometry_scale" to something LARGER.
