[HELP] vehicle shadows issue (night map)

Post by Kiaksar2142 »

Hello guys, Can anyone please help me with shadow issue after lightmapping in bf2editor (2142)?
I've tried combination of many settings in both terrainlightmaps and objectlightmaps but it didnt do the job =/

the issue is that when i lightmap, ingame the vehicle (as well as any other gameplay object) shadows looking very weird.

Here is the screenshot:

I understand your frustration but multiple threads ain't going to help much I'm afraid. We as a BF2 modding community have little to no experience with 2142 modding so as outlawz suggested, on other forums you might find more experienced modders. Dynamic shadows likely differ quite a bit between BF2 and BF2142.

yeah sorry about threads)

but dynamic shadows are quite same in 2142 and bf2.
the problem with other experience modders is that they are all lost basically after shutdown of BF2Editor forums.
bfsingleplayer community is also barely breathing now. so the last point of experienced fellows are here in PR forums. so basically you guys are my only hope

Thank you guys anyways, I finally managed to solve that problem.
It all was cause of cache of editor... totally forgot about it. it solved the trouble with dynamic shadows =)

Just writing it here maybe someone else will need it in future =)

I just removed all files from My Documents/Battlefield 2/cache folder
and it worked normally =)
