Tracking down lighting/shading issues

[keybounce]

Bump

Again, if I'm looking for lighting issues, then what should I be looking for?

Where should I be checking for values calculated in the lighting calculations of ufo2map, versus the lighting calculations of "real time lighting + real time shaders" versus the read from the map data of non-real time lighting?

I'm out of my skill/knowledge trying to understand the code.

the lightmap is stored per surface as RGB data - the mBspSurface_t sample data

each sample pair contains two RGB samples - one for the lightmap, one for the deluxemap.

you can even store the lightmap to a raw image if you like - have a look at R_BuildLightmap

to find out more you can deactivate R_BuildLightmap and use R_BuildDefaultLightmap only - this should result in a white lightmap (so no shadows at all)

you can also play around with the cvars r_lightmap and r_deluxemap - if you do please post the screenshots of africa with one OR the other activated

Code: [Select]

bind n "r_lightmap 0; r_deluxemap 1;"
bind m "r_lightmap 1; r_deluxemap 0;"

Attempting to type stuff into the console during game play turns up two flaws:

1. The bottom of the console -- where I type -- is about 2 lines below the bottom of the screen.
2. Copy/paste does not work.

typing blind, but typing ...

Alright, trying the "n" and "m" keys while in game play ...

Ok, what am I doing wrong?

[Mattn]

seams like you (or me) have an old keys.cfg - you can bind other keys - just don't use n and m. you can also add that to the autoexec.cfg or default.cfg if you don't wanna type it to the console.

Shouldn't full screen setting solve it?

Hi. I see that thing too.
IMO fullscreen or not will not change anything, but the ratio of the screen resolution used.
Maybe a job for me.
