RESOLVED Basic Light Terrain Lightmap Size

Okay - you got me, it's not a bug at all, just an opinion.

But I still think that mLightMapSize( 256 ), is tantamount to not having it in at all. 2048 would make much more of a noticeable difference (unless something has massively changed in the way basic lighting works). Around line 120 source/terrain/terrdata.cpp.

APPEARS RESOLVED IN 1.1BETA2 - though I don't see a variable available for tweaking ...

This is tricky... as it can really slow down lightmap generation... but we should just expose it as a field on TerrainBlock.

Field on the terrainblock = excellent idea.

Seems to be something with our build. Not getting BL baked shadows, but it is working in the stock build.

The lightMapSize field has been added to the terrainBlock in 1.1 Beta 3.

I'm finding that I have to comment out the lightMapSize line in my mission file or the engine crashes in dedicated mode. Anyone else?
