<h2>Compiling</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p><b>Using Compile Tools</b> </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Inside <b>call of duty/bin/</b>,(thanks to Chad G.) there is an exe that is
|
||
|
|
an interface with the compiler. Use this application instead of the command line
|
||
|
|
to iterate. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The first section on the left is a list of your maps. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The next section in the middle at the top is where you set your options for
|
||
|
|
compiling the geometry and light map resolution. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The section in the bottom middle is where you set your lighting options. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p> </p>

|

<h2>Iteration</h2>
|
||
|
|
<p>Iterating on your maps can be a very slow process when it comes to lighting.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can speed this up somewhat by using lower quality settings. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The first thing you can do is set the <b>samplescale</b> to higher numbers
|
||
|
|
for a lower light map resolution. The default is 1. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The other thing you can do is use <b>fast</b> in the lighting section. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>After you have tweaked your map enough, you can then use default <b>
|
||
|
|
samplescale</b> and set the lighting section to <b>extra</b>. </p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Using <b>modelshadows</b> may slow things down, but I have not noticed any
|
||
|
|
big difference in render times.</p>
