Hey I am nearly at the point that I am going to lightmap my C&C Hourglass tunnels.
Only I used to lightmap with 3ds Max since I wasn't editing the file in LE. But since I have to open this in LE I could also lightmap it there.
But I don't really know how to, when I create a Lightscape there doesnt show alot light on the terrain :/
I know how to do it in 3DS Max but you have to lightmap per material and I have like 60 materials, so that will take like a week to get it all right.
Could someone help me lightmapping with LE?
Thx

The only lighting you can do in Leveledit is vertex lighting.
You need to use Max in order to render baked lighting/shadows to mimic Renegade's lightmaps
Also i don't understand what you mean by lighting per material?. When i did it i simply took the entire mesh that I lit and applied a simple Unfold modifier to create a UV Map, which in turn created a "skin" for the entire mesh and rendered the lighting into a second channel. Takes me about 30 minutes to create a fully lit scene in Max, not weeks?.

I mean with lighting per material : if i have like 50 materials, i used to make 50 lightmaps for every material. Otherwise I would screw the textures up. I mean when I selected a mesh with different materials on it and wanted to apply the lightmap then it became 1 texture..
Well I can't really explain, but i see you selected all the meshes and how did you apply a Unfold modifier? I can't see it in the modifier list.
