Also just a FYI, when mapping and compiling you should work from a clean main and UO folder. All those custom maps should be moved to a separate folder. This will cause you problems as well.

I have the same problem as HovrathPL.
Everything is lit up and the lights I placed are invisible.
Working the hole day to find a solution but the only thing I found was while comliling it says "couldn´t find texture shader for shader/skies/mpberlin"

but ingame the sky is just like in mp berlin.....

here is my bat file, i dont think there is something wrong....

"S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\uoTools\bin\q3map" -game uo "S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\uo\maps\mp_testmap"


pause


"S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\uoTools\bin\q3map" -vis -full -game uo "S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\uo\maps\mp_testmap"


pause

"S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\UOTools\bin\flare" -extra -sundiffusesamples 10 -dumpoptions -game uo "S:\Spiele\Call of Duty\uo\maps\mp_testmap"

pause

HELP & PROBLEM SOLVE:

had same problem like month ago.
my map was TOO bright and it pissed me off.

i wrote forum post and guys helped me out. At least, they teached me that coduomaker can compile lights, which i didnt know before...

do what I say! (i prefer option 1)

OPTION 1

download cod uo maker, launch it, click on OPTIONS button, and then you will see check box like " use flare work around" click on "create" and press start... it will make "game" folder in your hard drive..dont stop until the button done is lightet and ready to click on.


OPTION 2
you can actually make it yourself..

1.)make game folder on your C:\ or D:\ depends what on are you having the uo tool installed

2.)copy your uo and main folder into that folder

3.) delete ALL except your .pk3 files, but WITHOUT MODS!

4.)check box "flare" on your coduomaker

5.)compile

6.)ADDITIONAL: press FLARE on your main window of coduomaker and check modelshadow and check sundiffusesamples and select how much you want..if you've done this your compiling might take a bit longer but your lights, shadows will be more quality.

thats it!

P.S. My surname is Horvat and I come from Croatia :D (same as topicstarters(lol))

thanks a lot, I ll try it out tomorrow. I surched for coduomaker but couldnt find it, maybe i find it tomorrow...

Did exactly what you said, but it doesnt cange anything...

I used some self made textures and some original. the self made textures are .tga files.
Maybe the self made textures are the reason?

well...show your compile log + how long did compiling take?

textures arent problem, but if you got any custom mods, maps in your uo folder, copy them somewhere other or delete!

just messing around all the time with this problem...

hope that will help solving the problem.

do what i say:

you could download cod uo maker from this site actually
[http://modsonline.com/Downloads-full-2543.html]

now...if it works at everyone else it should work at you too..

you see this row:

S:\Spiele\Call of Duty>move /Y "S:\Spiele\game\uo\maps\mp\mp_testmap.bsp" "S:\Sp
iele\Call of Duty\uo\maps\mp\mp_testmap.bsp"

==========================================

this is what your compiler is trying to do, its trying to find that "game" folder which obviusly you havent make/you made it wrong.

There is new way of light compiling in CoDUO. It uses UO flare work around, and it uses that "game" folder.

I dont know the right reason.

They just made it that way...

Now..once again!! Do it carefully!


STEP 1.)
Installing CoDUO Maker

Install your CoDUO Maker

STEP 2.)
Opening your program

Open that program.
Now, take a look at three buttons that appear:
"Help","Options" and "Exit".

Click on "Options". This will open new window in which you can see much rows with lots of paths.

Now..in the middle of that window you can see check button thats called "Use UO Flare work around".

Check it! Now click to the button next to it which is called "Create".


STEP 3.)
Flare work around

It will open new window called "Flare work around".
Now you see progress bar and some empty space below..click on the "Start" button.

Now progress of copying files will begin.
Wait until the "Done" button appears, untill all files are copyed.


STEP 4.)
Checking files

Now check following. Open S:\Spiele\game\. Open that "game" folder.

there should be two folders in it: "main" and "uo".
First open main folder. There should be all .pk3's same as in your main folder in original Call of Duty location.

Now open uo folder. There should be all .pk3's same as in your uo folder in original Call of Duty location.

If its ok..proceed to next step


STEP 5.)
Compile settings + Worlspawn settings & Compiling

Open the main of your CoDUO maker.
First! Make sure that you've set up your worldspawn settings correctly!

On the right side of your CoDUO Maker main window there should be three buttons; "BSP","VIS","FLARE" and "VCLog".

Click on the "Flare".

If you wanna normal compiling:

Only select model shadow

If you wanna more quality compiling:

check modelshadow and check sundiffusesamples and select how much you want..if you've done this your compiling might take a bit longer but your lights, shadows will be more quality.

Select your map and compile it.

============================================

It works at everyone that way, and it should work at you too!
If its not, its problem at you! =)

I hope this helped.

EDIT: Have you set up your CoDUO Radiant correctly? Have you done "Setting up the Editor" tutorial? If you havent, do it ASAP! =)



edited on Jan. 23, 2010 01:33 pm by IvanFilip

WOW! Many many thanks for your effort!
I did the setting up the editor by first installing it. then after your post i installed and set the coduomaker just the way you discibed, after your detailed decscription it wasnt hard to do.
after your last post i cecked everything once, folder paths and options... But it dosen t work....
I uploaded a map in .pk3 just as I would make it with a finished map. its a house i made for a member of our clan, it stands on a simple ground, has skybox with nighttime settings in worldspawn and spawnpoints.
In the .pk3 file you also find the .map file.
I like to ask you if you could have a look at the file to see if I made something wrong (although i made everything by watching many toturials...)
Its a simple map and i bet it would take you less than five minutes to do...

I uploaded the file here: my testmap

Many thanks in advance, I really wish to get things working....

well, can i have your .map file pls? your .pk3 is full of textures...
