Tool has decided it's not going to make me a debug for the lightmaps command. It claims there are UVW errors, and it was writing them to a debug file with the same name as my map file. And now it's not. On top of that, the ORIGINAL debug file is gone... :eek:
Any ideas?
Re-run the command and in your .max of the map, import debug.wrl and see where the blue faces are. Re-UV those faces.
hmmm - the errors that show up from that file don't really make sense... but o well. optimize should do the trick.
BTW - I thought lightmaps wrote to the same debug as structure, no?
I'm not sure. But i think it does.
no. Lightmaps writes to debug.wrl, while everything else writes to (mapname).wrl
as for them not showing up, i was hoping Daax could answer. Its something to do with vista security and user accounts.....I havent completely figured out the way it works in vista, because i use XP most of the time.
Optimize completely makes a mess of your model, but if you think it's right then go ahead. Optimize also screws up UV's and can screw up areas you don't want being touched.Quote:

You have to turn off User Account Control in the Control Panel.Quote:

I didn't give a rat's a$$ if optimize screwed my faces around. Long story short - I fixed it, thanks for help, and you can't see the area optimize made ugly unless you use (cheat_super_jump) - lol
