mapmaker Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 Does anyone know what the difference is between Fullvis and Fullvis(extra)?
Vorax Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 Better lighting. With the 'extra' you get 5 times more tracing, makes for smother shadows and better light fall off. - Vorax
Vorax Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 ^^ True. 5 times more light tracing = 5 times longer light compile. Note to all: Final versions of maps that you are releasing should be compiled with full-vis (extra). It will produce the best looking version of your map that you can get. - Vorax
Darth Draugmahl Posted April 28, 2002 Posted April 28, 2002 Exactly, that is the command you should use to do the final compile on your map. I haven't had any of the "too bright" complaints that some people have and I have been using that command to do my test compiles so...I dunno. When I used to make heretic ii maps I didn't use it at all because it seems to change the way the lights looked completely. I'd spend hours trying to get the exact lighting I wanted and then run that and they'd be all screwed up (way brighter and the shadows weren't the same) but I haven't had that problem here.
mapmaker Posted April 28, 2002 Author Posted April 28, 2002 Alright, thanks a lot. I was wondering why the shadows looked funny when compiling in FullVis
