Is there something I need to know about lighting that I don't? At first, everything was going beautifully. I had some nice shadows cast by a couple of walls with rail tops, right where they should be, but I did something that I could swear was exactly the same, and now I have some really ugly stuff going on, and what seems to be shadows cast in impossible places. I have one ambient-baked, and one point static. What the heck is going on, anyone know?

Is it possible you haven't redone the lightmapping after moving models around? The baked lighting won't change until you render lightmaps again, but you probably already know that. You might have two lightmaps displaying at the same time? I've heard this can happen... has something to do with posting to local, I think. Definitely fixable, but annoying. Hopefully someone who knows more will be able to help. Check out mikemike's lighting tutorial, which is on the builder wiki tutorial page.

Thanks! Yeah, I've redone the lightmaps multiple times.... I wish that was it! Multiple lightmaps would absolutely explain this. *flails* I'll check out the lighting tutorial and see if it says anything about that. If not, I'll probably learn something anyway.

You totally rock, Alex! That was it. In case anyone else is having the same proble, here's the link to how to delete your lightmaps:
http://bg2redux.stud...ngLightmapFiles

For quick reference, here's the instructions to do it manually (the link also has how to set up a .bat to do it:

If your layout name is LAYOUT and your module is called MODULE, then delete the following folders:

My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\Toolset\\\\LvlWorkspace\\\\lightmaps\\\\LAYOUT
My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\Toolset\\\\ProbeLightMaps\\\\LAYOUT
My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\Toolset\\\\resourcepostintermediatewin32\\\\processed\\\\addins\\\\MODULE\\\\layouts\\\\win32\\\\layouts\\\\LAYOUT
My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\Toolset\\\\resourcepostintermediatewin32\\\\processed\\\\addins\\\\MODULE\\\\layouts\\\\win32\\\\modelhierarchies\\\\LAYOUT
My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\Toolset\\\\resourcepostintermediatewin32\\\\processed\\\\addins\\\\MODULE\\\\layouts\\\\win32\\\\textures\\\\dds\\\\LAYOUT
(path of your level file)\\\\LAYOUT.erf
(path of your level file)\\\\LAYOUT.bak.erf
C:\\\\DOCUME~1\\\\Mike\\\\LOCALS~1\\\\Temp\\\\DALightmap\\\\LAYOUT (you can use Run... and type %TEMP% and hit OK)
(if you have posted to local) My Documents\\\\BioWare\\\\Dragon Age\\\\addins\\\\MODULE\\\\core\\\\override\\\\toolsetexport\\\\LAYOUT

Note: if you miss one of these, as I did the first time, it may not fix it completely.

As long as your Documents and Settings folder is on the C drive, it will nuke all lightmap files for all levels.  The exception is *.erf and *.erf.bak files generated in the same folder as the .lvl.  Let me know if it proves useful.

[errant_knight]

I already know it will! Thanks so much!!
Edit: I'm not seeing the file....

Well look at that...I forgot to upload the file *thwaps self with a trout* Uploaded now

[Talisander]

Languard, that's awesome. I think you have to set the files to be viewable by everyone (it's a setting under the project you created.) Otherwise the rest of us can't download it.



You should make an announcement on the projects page. Or maybe add a link to the wiki (there's a page for useful 3rd party applications).



Great work.

Yay!  I try and transfer files with my mind more often than I like to admit.

*proceeds to duel-wield trouts and thwaps himself again* Yes indeed, need to change the file permissions as well.



Really, honestly, and truly, it should be visible now to download.

Lightmaps will always look screwed up if you render lightmaps on top of existing lightmaps, until you post the level. Once posted, things go back to normal. Or at least that is what happens to me consistently.

I'm trying the lightmap remover, and it has a problem when it tries to find the folder with the layout name. It gets to here: C:\\Documents and Settings\\\\\\MYNAME\\\\\\My Documents\\\\\\BioWare\\\\\\Dragon Age\\\\\\Toolset\\\\\\LvlWorkspace\\\\\\lightmaps, and then expects to find a lightmap, I think, rather that a folder.
