Still no lights

Sorry for posting another thread about the same topic but no one was ersponding to the last one anymore.
I downloaded Radiosity but really have no clue how to get it to work. I just used the map2dif_debug.exe instead of my old map2dif.exe. Dunno if that's how you're supposed to work it. The Readme made it seem like there was a program with it.
Anyway, I changed the falloff values of my lights to 200 / 600 and now I'm getting the following error...
Light map too large: 258 x 4 (where max is 256 x 256). Your have a brush that is too large, or your light map scale value may be too small.
The error comes up whether I use the original map2dif or the radiosity one.
Anyone know how to up the light map scale value so I don't have to re-build the level?
Thanks!

I only tested TGRad with the included batch and .map files, so I can't absolutely tell you how to run it. I would guess that there is an extra setting meant to be run after map2dif_debug... (like "map2dif_debug -a -b -r" or whatever). Find out which one it is and add it to the variables which Hammer uses to run map2dif with.

Thanks for the help guys. Got the lights working. Without RAD, but working none the less.Should be posting a new Dev shot for Brutal in the next week or so :)

If you want to implement emissive textures, add the texture and emissive parameters to the tgerad_materials.txt file. In QuArk, this file should be located in tmpQuArK along with the map2dif compiler. If anyone wants a map2dif_rad.exe/DataTorque.qrk customized for QuArK let me know.

First you have to use the version of map2dif that is compiled with the rad package included. There are no extra command-line switches; but there is a parameter in worldspawn to use the oldstyle lighting or not )-->if 0, the compiler will use the radiosity settings. I don't know if torque.fgd has been upgraded to include the rad parameters for worldspawn in worldcraft/hammer, in QuArK they are added to DataTorque.qrkIf you want to implement emissive textures, add the texture and emissive parameters to the tgerad_materials.txt file.
