...didn't finish your sentence!  ;D

The forum seems to do this to some people's posts -- edit using a separate (simple) text editor, and check after you posted to make sure it is there. It seems maybe special characters like "fancy quotes" etc screw things up.


HTH,

When I compile a map, the shadows appear kinda blocky. I was wondering how to make shadows less blocky/more blurred like in Village-day maps. Is there some parameter for it maybe? I can handle Radiant quite well but this lighting/shadowing thing is sth that I havent figured out yet.

Damn I hate this forum allready, it took few tries to post this message too  :P

Another question: How to make mapmodels cast shadows? I got picture that I need to use geometry that is invisible in-game to cast shadow for the model. The problem is that I cant make geometry with nodraw-flag to cast shadows..

I have this same problem on two different windows machines. I have evaded this problem by copying piece of geometry with nodraw-flag from some map included with the game and then using it as seed for geometry I want to have nodraw flag.. Im confused.

use some parameters to get extra samples

e.g.
./ufo2map -extra -chop 256 -radchop 256 <mapname>

you can also play around with the bounce parameter - e.g. -bound 2
