If you light it, what does 'photons cast:' in the 'lightmap stats' report?

wer can find that at??? i dont see it in my level's scenario file in guerilla or the structure bsp file

[Vicky]

It's when you light it, in the dos-box right at the bottom.

hm i c nothin.....

all it says is this.....


"usage: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Halo 2 Map Editor\\h2tool.exe verb <opti
ons..>
lightmaps <scenario> <bsp-name> <quality-setting>
Press any key to continue . . ."

[Vicky]

Looks like you didn't select a map, or again have a space in the mapname or path...

[cheezdue]

how do i do that?

[Vicky]

Seriously, follow a vid-tut, don't use spaces in the mapnames or paths, use _ underscores instead and maybe u'll get a map to light. It's all documented, read it !

Crap i just dont understand on how to place it on the dos-box. this is how im putting it on th dos-box

C:\Users\Jorge.Owner-PC>C:\<Halo2ArchitectDirectory>\ H2Tool lightmaps "\scenarios\multi\death_vally\death_vally" death_vally draft_medium

and this is how it tells me on how to put light on the help file

Syntax
C:\<Halo2ArchitectDirectory>\H2Tool lightmaps <scenario-path> <structure-name> <quality>

what the hell am i doing wrong???


or maybe i can find place to download these lightmaps

You're missing the second parameter; the name of the scenario structure BSP.
