Radiosity Breakdown

Load ur Scenario tag in sapien when it finishes loading hit the ~ key and type radiosity_start (for quick Radiosity can also type radiosity_quality 0 or 1 befor radiosity_start, 1 being the best and longest)
Wait for the numbers to count to all zeros
then hit the ~ key again and type radiosity_save and now U can view your map!

Sapien controls break down

Middle Click Moves the Camera around
Right Click places items spawns scenery ect..
Shift while holding the middle click makes the camera move faster
Double Click put the camera where you click
W makes the camera move foward
A makes the camera move to the left
D Makes the camera move to the right
S makes the camera move backwards

Hope this helps you guys out happy map making!

Make sure you compressed your bitmap with explicit alpha then created a shader_environment for it.
