nice one Gren, would be cool if in ur 'other' programs you could just draw in the lightmaps like in sapien, or even adjust the brightness of them, saving 15 bitmaps of tantalising paranoidic work.

If this was to be added to a newer sparky is it possable to be used as a tool or just make the maps look better?

No, it just loads the lightmaps with the textures, making it look realer.

If you look at the other post on lightmaps, you'll see its for both, PC, and Xbox.

Another layer of texture that controls lighting.

See if you look at a map with Sparkedit now, you won't see the shadows, and the bright spots on the map, but with lightmaps loaded with the textures, everything has its own light section.
