Well, if your talking about the original exported lights, you can use them in comando as well.

For example, the com center Interior W3D file is com_int_lm003.w3d, and the file that contains the lights is com_int_lm003.wlt

just put the associeted wlt file in the same folder of your w3d and they will be imported

now if you are making your own lights... you'll have to wait for my W3D Editor

I personally would like to explore more about the .WLT files, specially how I can create/edit them......

Anyone with more info regarding this?

But just for your information, there's no way of making Westwood Light Tablulation files without their tools or without Abjab's W3D tools, which will quite likely never be released.

Sorry, Mr. Aircraftnerd2001, but I'm looking for useful comments, not useless piece of internet trash, which is usually what you post.

And remember, it's Tabulation, not "Tablulation".

ok, here is the full story on lighting in W3D files.
1.there is the WLT file. A WLT file is basicly a bunch of light definitons. The format of these is documented in the w3d_file.h and stuff, its not complex.
2.there is the PRELIT_VERTEX and PRELIT_LIGTHMAP chunks in the w3d file. The format of all the relavent chunks is documented in w3d_file.h so thats not a problem
and 3.there are the special lighting textures. For example nod_tower001.w3d has a folder called nod_tower001+ that has a file called 0.dds in it.
These texture files contains some kind of lightmap information, how it works I havent a clue.

Acording to Greg Hjelstrom, westwood uses some special commercial costs big $$$ lighting tool then runs the output of that tool through some special in-house program to generate the 3 items above. Anyone that has the necessary information (the formats of the relavent chunks plus the deails of how the special textures works) and the necessary skills could write their own lightmapping tool. I havent heard anything anything indicating that abjab or anyone else is working on such a tool but I might be wrong

As for abjabs w3d->gmax converter and stuff, the reason its not out yet is because the people working on it havent got the time (too busy with other things I guess)

Ok, Jonathan, thanks for the useful info you gave me.

That's nice, kid. Keep copying me as you always do. You can't even formulate your own expressions, you sad ****er.

If you're not looking for useful comments, then get the hell out of the forums. If you can't take the heat, kid, don't go into the kitchen. I gave you what you needed to know... Now you can leave the community alone and go steal from another one.

Is there anyway you could be more of a bi*ch

End that with a question mark, son. After all, you're asking one.

Maybe you didn't know that.
