so i have a 3d world studio map exptored and i am using a customized 3dworldstudio exporter, how can i get lights or the lightmesh command to work with these? i have tried but it gives me errors |
| ||
As far as I know, 3D World Studio exported b3d maps doesn't have normals. Thus, you cannot use light commands, use lightmapping function of 3DWS. |

gile[s] works great for lighting 3dws maps... get it here...frecle.net |
| ||
Why use gile[s] while there is built-in lightmapper for 3DWS? |

Why use gile[s] while there is built-in lightmapper for 3DWS? Ask the creator. One of his big selling points for 3DWS was that you could use Gile[s] to lightmap your scenes. |

to pirate, i have already lightmapped my level, but i wanted to use blitz's internal lighting commands for example a flashlight. but mortiis has answered my question. |
| ||
different question though, is there a way to get the blitz 3dworldstudio loader function to load terrain i build in 3dworldstudio? |
| ||
It already does, to add collision though you need a recursive function like this.Function EntityType_( entity, collisiontype ) EntityType entity, collisiontype For c = 1 To CountChildren( entity ) EntityType_( GetChild( entity, c ), collisiontype ) Next End Function |

Why use gile[s] while there is built-in lightmapper for 3DWS? gile[s] is ten times better... |
| ||
mortiis, i have collisions on everything in my level, im using that ledwerks advanced scene loader, and i have had success with adding collisions to everything but for terrain, i cant get the function to find the terrain. so im wondering what the terrain is called when it is exported? |
| ||
also, if i use giles and then export my model again, can i still load it using the 3dworldstudio load world function? |
| ||
mortiis, thank you SOOOOOO MUCH!!!! i have to modify it a little, but now my terrain works just fine. thanks again dude |
| ||
No problem dude :D I don't know about gile[s], if it doesn't combine all the brushes into one mesh, all will be fine. |

is there a way to get the layers of a terrain? |
