The other thing you can do is use fast in the lighting section.Īfter you have tweaked your map enough, you can then use default samplescale and set the lighting section to extra. The first thing you can do is set the samplescale to higher numbers for a lower light map resolution. You can speed this up somewhat by using lower quality settings. Iterating on your maps can be a very slow process when it comes to lighting.

The section in the bottom middle is where you set your lighting options.

The next section in the middle at the top is where you set your options for compiling the geometry and light map resolution.

The first section on the left is a list of your maps.

Use this application instead of the command line to iterate. Inside call of duty/bin/, (thanks to Chad G.) there is an exe that is an interface with the compiler. Higher numbers result in flatter shading where light is present.

bouncefracion #: This is the intensity of the GI calculation.

sundiffusecolor #: This is the color of the indirect light source.

If you use a value of 1, sunlight is not visible.

diffusefraction #: This is the brightness of the indirect light source.

This value also mixes with the sun color.

_color #: This is the ambient color value.(Isnt it obvious?) Use the same method for _color as for the suncolor to get the ambient color.

If you go too high the map tends to look flat. I usually use ambient to set what I want the darkest dark to be.

ambient #: This is the amount of ambient light added to the scene.

Bump and spec values are about 30% intensity. Indirect light is anything that is not in direct sunlight. You can pick the rgb values you want and then divide that number by 255 to get the value that fits in the 0-1 range. Radiant uses a range from 0-1 instead of 0-255.

suncolor #: there are 3 values to set for suncolor.

sunlight #: The brightness of the sun light.

The third is the axis through the light and therefore usless. The first number is the north south axis.

Sundirection #: The axis are based on world space not local to the light.

This is where most of the normal and specualar values can be seen. You can input them manually or just copy and paste from another map to get started.ĭirect light is basically anything that is in a direct sunlight. The other (preferred by me) way is to open the map in a text editor and change the values that you find at the top of the page.īy default, the lighting settings are empty. You can access the worldspawn settings and input values into the key and value boxes. After opening a map in radiant, press the “n” key. There are two ways to edit worldspawn settings.

This is where you set the overall look for your map lighting.
