i recieve this error when attempting a fullvis compilation:

Exceeded MAX_MAP_LIGHTGRID_ARRAY (3599295 >= 1048576)

any way i can reduce the amount of memory needed for lighting calculations?

Use Q3Map2. It will automatically adjust the size of the lightgrid as your level expands. On top of that, it's just a better compiler.

Check out wudan's thread on the lucasforums.com mapping forum, he has all the info you need.

either do what emon suggests or (i had same prob (exceeded MAX_MAP_LIGHTGRID_ARRAY))
and i added-
key: gridsize

value: 128 128 128 (default is 64 64 128)

to the worldspawn.

How do you use that compiler, ther Emon. I installed it to my radiant directory and made a batch file like he said. But how do i get it so that it compiles my map instead of Sof2???? Bare in mind i know jack about code or anything else.

Drag the MAP file onto the BAT, and watch it go.

I did and it went zumppppppp, dead fast. Then when i checked the map it wsn't updated. So i tried another map and that never compiled either.

This is what i put in the bat file,

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\Q3map2 -game jk2 -bsp -meta C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\seaplat.map
:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\Q3map2 -game jk2 -vis C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\seaplat.map
:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\Q3map2 -game jk2 -light -fast C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\seaplat.map

but before that i just had mymap.map, like Wudan had on the example. Neither way has worked.

1. You need quotes around files and paths that have spaces in them.

2. For the drag and drop method, you're supposed to use %1 instead of the actual map. So replace that C:\Programblah\Lucasblah\JOBlah\gamedata\base\seaplat.map with %1.

3. I'd put a pause command at the end of it so it pauses and you can scroll through the output.


If you added the quotes around the files and paths, you could just run it, otherwise you'll need to do step 2 for drag and drop.

Youv;e lost me with the 1% bit, what else do you put with the 1% as opposed to the map specific files and paths.

Instead of putting:

C:\Program Files\LucasArts\Star Wars JK II Jedi Outcast\GameData\base\seaplat.map

You put:

%1

That lets you drag and drop the MAP onto the BAT file. The %1 will become whatever you dragged onto the BAT.
