Sapien prob

Post by Superfly »

When im in sapien I load my scenario tag up and then I go and run radiosity, I run radiosity 1 and when I do start it just stops for a bit then finished with nothing its just the sky with no map. I really need help, and when I do 0 radiosity it just says 0000000 000000000 00000000 and nothing happens.

If you run a radiosity_quality 0 , followed by a radiosity_start (then wait for the 0.000000 0.00000000 0.0000000), then do a radiosity_save, you should see your level. If not then your camera positino or level position might not be on X 0, Y 0 Z 0.

If im right, Ive had this in the past where the radiosity worked but my camera position was waaayyy off and pointing in the wrong direction, and quite a bit below the radiositiy'd map.. I usually have a 360 deg look around just in case in the sapien GAME window.

:D try re-applying +sky to your level and exporting it again as JMS etc.... then Guerilla (multiplayer, sky.... etc..) and then into Sapien and see if it picks it up.

Sounds to me like Sapien doesn't know about +sky..

So you've done the map, applied the material and the UVW map?

yes ive done the UVW map and the material, but it just keeps messing up on me.

Edit = Ok I have figured out why it ddint work, in my material editor I didnt have the ground texture labelled ********_ground, it was material 45 by default.

Thx for your help anyway

It doesn't have to be labeled anything _ground it just can't have any special characters in it (unless you know what you're doing with those) and it has to have the same name as your bitmaps/shader_environments.
