Hello H2Vista.net.
I have a problem in that when I try to open a .scenario file in sapien, it tells me that the file is corrupt.
I have done 'compile and light' 'compile' and 'light' in various orders with no success. I followed (teh lag, I think)'s advice that the problem is to do with lightmaps and trying manually, with guerilla, to set it to the correct lightmap, which doesn't exist, so then setting the lightmap to 'example'. This does allow me to open the file, but obviously it'd be nice to be able to make my own lightmap.
I think the problem is in the lighting, as the cmd prompt box told me that all of the numbers of photons cast etc were 0. Now, after associating the example lightmap, when I only light, it says:
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 . . .
I imagine i'd supposed to chose on of those options, but can't due to the 'press any key to continue'
Just now I managed to relight a map which I'd lit without error before, which worked. I thought it must have been an error with the map (I had tried others, but all of which were newish) so I saved the max file as something else, and reexported it. When I came to compile and light I got the same problem.
I'm pretty new to map making and have no more ideas as to how to solve this problem, so was hoping one of you would have the answer. :confused:
(oh, and I have got a b-levelroot, I have put everything to 0,0,0 and I have made the level a multisub object and textured it as such.)
I may have forgotten some things as I didn't expect at the time to be having to remember what I did, so if/when I remember, I'll add them. Thanks in advance.
