Light maps in dromed render not showing up.

Kingsal on 13/4/2017 at 04:24

*Copied from another post*

Hey everyone, I ran into a weird problem in dromed and I can't seem to find any info on it.

It seems like my terrain isn't rendering light maps. Almost as if its stuck in light bright mode even when I toggle lighting on. Objects seem to light okay. Mono says "Lightmap resolution scaling isn't compatible with lightmapped software rendering, editor will render terrain unlit. Consider running editor in hardware rendering mode"

I ran the editor in hardware mode and that didnt go to well (full screen and same problem). I also checked my lightmap scale and its set to 2, which I think is the default.

This recently started happening and ONLY happens in my FM. Others work fine.

What is your WR Quality setting?

Also, don't tag new topics onto old threads. Start a new thread with a proper descriptive name if you want folk who know about your issue to find it and respond.

I'm not sure what WR settings are but I found the command build_dlg and it says "draft"

In the Build dialog, try changing WR Quality to Optimized. If that doesn't fix it, please post your monolog from a Complete Processing of your mission. That may show something in terms of error messages that you are unaware of.

I tried the optimized WR quality to no effect. Do I need a command to dump the mono log or is that saved out automatically somwhere?

I wonder if you unintentionally issued the toggle_hardware_lighting command? It makes terrain only fully lit, but not objects. Try entering it again to turn it off.

Kingsal on 14/4/2017 at 17:47

Hmm, Yandros that is is a good thought but it didn't seem to work.

Here is the log. Its says set light_bright to 1 at the beginning which is weird, but if I set it to 0 I get the same results.

Code:

Set light_bright to 1

Why are you running with software rendering?

Im not sure. I remember messing with this in dromed.cfg, but ended up getting a full-screen dromed with no windows. What are the steps I need to take to getting hardware rendering working? Like I mentioned, this only seems to be a problem with this particular map.

Okay I just went in and uncommented a bunch of stuff in dromed.cfg having to do with hardware rendering. Its working now! This is really strange because its only an issue on my particular map / gamesys. Is there anything I should be warned about using hardware here?

edit: My suspicion is that this happened while I was trying to get dromed to work on my laptop which is always finicky... I may have by accident somehow carried those settings over? Im still not clear on how this happened.

I just can't think of reason for anyone to use software rendering with NewDark. IIRC it is a REALLY old legacy mode which is not of any value on current hardware.
