Sky settings

[JackRabbit72380]

Sky is not part of your structure, when i change something on a level, compile it then my lightmaps are gone, well not gone but they don't show up anymore.

That might be becuse you did another comile and light. When you realy just neaded to recomile.
I think!

It would suck if you had to run the light every time you just wanted to check your map for other problems.

If you compile and light, and choose another sky tag, to change the model for example, you would not have to relight or recompile. Or anything of that manner.

As for when you edit a shader, or edit geometry in 3ds max, you do need to recompile and relight.

You don't need to recompile and light if you are editing a shader. Actually, you don't even need to recompile at all.

If you map is not changing, all you need to do is adjust the sky tag and use the "Light" command. Make adjustments and light again, etc.
