(obvious) One of your blocks covers a very large area. Either split it up into multiple blocks, use flat shaded mode for that surface in question, or use models. 2. You have too many surfaces right next to the lightmap space limit. Use fewer surfaces or use models for the smaller details. 3. You have a fairly small block but with a tiny texture scale (such as a 0.1 scale). Never have a texture scale below 0.25 for best results.

You should start using a legitimate version of 3dgs and update to the newest version, I bet this solves all your problems .. Edit: mmm, what's with this 6.269 version anyways, Prog_plus_plus has it too? Cheers Last edited by PHeMoX; 01/08/06 21:17.

I know I have done the WED updates so maybe that has something to do with it. Making the world better, one mouse click at a time. -- DETAILS -- version:.... commercial 6.31.4/WED V6.269 OS:.........

We have a rash of warez users that come to these boards with all manner of crazy "warezed" versions and when you post "Commercial 6.269", well, red flags come up. No, you have the latest update, but it sounds like your computer is missing a file. Try reinstalling 3DGS completely and see if that solves it. If not, the problem is with your OS instalation.
