DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 I get the following error when trying to compile Kashyyyk Tree Canopy Here is the end of the light entry of junk.txt >>> 50 light emitting surfaces Only 1005361 gridArrays used out of 1048576 0...1...2...3...4...5...Too many unique lightpoints in the grid! <<< I've managed to fix this by deleting loads of lights, but I need the lights. What is the specific cause for this error, and how can I fix it without deleting lights? In fact I want to add more lights, so I really need to find a solution, the map is otherwise finished. I only have about 250 lights anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmdr. Antilles Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Why do you have so many lights? Most of those could be replaced by shaders or light from the skybox, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 Because 250 isn't a lot of lights Because 250 is a drastically reduced amount anyway Because 250 is a lot less than the several thousand in Raven maps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichDiesal Posted June 2, 2002 Share Posted June 2, 2002 Yes, but you can't have anywhere near that many lights in the same or adjacent portals. I'm betting you have spotlights shining through the tree canopy don't you? It would be a much better plan to simply create a 90 degree straight-up sun in a lighted sky shader with a very powerful light if this is what you're trying to do.. If neither of these things is true, I see no reason why you should get that error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeTRiTiC-iQ Posted June 2, 2002 Author Share Posted June 2, 2002 There isn't any light source from above or below the main area. The backdrop doesn't have a lightsource, its just set to 450 light. And there are only about 100 lights in each base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
