Lighting Problem
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
Quote: Lightmaps exceed max memory (8454144 > 8388608) [\quote] yeah, must be your problem. Using q3map2 (www.shaderlab.com or www.splashdamage.com/forums) might help some (as it uses lightmaps more efficiently), but it may be a structural problem du... [more]

Two more simple questions...
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
@brutus: i think you are referring to q3map2's -meta switch. I'm not 100% sure what it does, but i do know that it will never ever merge two faces from separate brushes. @Drach: I've been wondering that same thing: multiple brushes is in most cases be... [more]

Shader Probs.
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
baltic, I'm not really a shader wizard, but I do tinker around with my own shaders. AFAIK that shader of yours is perfectly all right (if the texture really lives at that location). Drop it in dr.shader into the shaders dir and add it to shaderlist.txt... [more]

Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
these external .tga files are external lightmaps generated by q3map2. They can be created for some reasons, related to lightstyles. q3map2 can handle lightstyles for even vanilla q3 if I'm not mistaking and does this by creating external lightmaps. If ... [more]

GtkRadiant or SOF2SDK
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
definately pro GTK because: * it still is maintained (a bit) * has more features imho but i don't care as much about the version of Radiant as i do about the compiler use q3map2 - ditch the old sof2map compiler * it is maintained, improved, en... [more]

MIRRORS
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
mwa, I have a mirror in an upcoming mp map, and through extensive tweaking the vis and hinting around it I could keep the r_speeds below 12000. That is high, but should be still ok. So if you're carefull with mirrors, you can use them. fraco... [more]

EasyGen Texture Issues
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
unknown surfaceparm: sounds like easygen generated terrain for q3map2, but you are still using the sdk compiler. You will have to edit your terrain shaders and make them like existing sof2 terrain shaders (cfr metashader.shader). Or use GTK + q3map2. ... [more]

Strange lighting problem
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
if you used misc_model for hanging light and it is both textured and lit properly, you must have made a non-stock blabla_hanging_light_bsp shader. This is not in the default sof2 distribution so include the shaders in the pk3. fraco... [more]

RAIN/SNOW
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
in SP you should be able to use the actual weather engine. There is some documentation in the SDK docs (a .doc file on the weather system) basically, as i understand it (was trying this for mp, as somewhere the docs suggest it might be possible in mp, ... [more]

Run time was 0 hours, 0 minutes and 0 seconds i think those paths may be a problem. I don't know SDK all that well (GTK + q3map2 rox), but S:\ is that normal. isn't the compiler in the SDK\bin dir somewhere (would be c drive) fraco... [more]

need someone to check my junk.txt file
Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
vis size is on the big side. Do you have a lot of empty space in that map? That may be causing the vis size, and you can tweak it using chopsize. Actually recently I had something similar, because I used a big box (hull) around my map. That obviously p... [more]

Soldier of Fortune : SoFII Mapping
righty, sorry, i do mp mapping and sp mapping is so different. For sp mapping you best NOT use the -rename switch. I don't even know if the q3map2 compiler is supposed to support sp models correctly. You best check with ydnar over at www.splashdamage.... [more]
