Title: Fixing lighting/sun in a new map
Post by: BluntStuffy on September 28, 2016, 05:31:15 pm
EDIT, propper fix:

If you have no skybox/shitty lighting in your new created map, no fire sounds and weird zombie anims this seems to be the fix:

Change the decimal symbol for windows. change it from , to . it's in your Country & Language options. Then reinstall the mod-tools and everything should work propperly.

Nice tut, shame you didn't get the tools earlier, I'm sure you could have already done some great things with them by now. You're obviously catching on fast though :P

Haha, well this was pretty much laid out for me. Like i mentioned this is also described in some .pdf's included with the tools. Just a matter of taking the time to look through stuff..
I dont think i'll be doing anything too crazy anytime soon, want to finish up the Realism Mod first. I'll just be messing around in BO3 a bit while doing so

Note: all this is described in \root\docs_modtools\SunSky_Light_SetUp.pdf

If you have no skybox/shitty lighting in your new created map, this is how you fix it:

-Open APE
-Create a new GDT if you'd like

Now we can start:

-Choose "New asset" and a popup-box will appear
-Asset Name, name it whatever you like. Asset type: SSI and choose the GDT you want to create it in
-You can mess with the settings, use these if you want to be safe:
(https://s16.postimg.org/bgnb7xasl/01_ssi_settings.png)

-Next, create a "new asset" again. Again name it whatever, and this time choose "image"
-Use these settings, you can use any .exr image you like ( i found some in \model_export\t7_skybox\  for example )
(https://s16.postimg.org/4c5hyw3j9/01_sky_image_setting.png)

-Next create a new asset again, this time choose type "material"
-Use these settings, and for the color_map use the image you created in the previous step
(https://s16.postimg.org/5tqyag89x/03_sky_material.png)

-Now again create a new asset, and this time choose "xmodel"
-Use these settings, under LOD 0 fill in a skybox model ( t6_props\vista\skybox\t6_skybox.xmodel_bin for example ) and under Materials fill in the material you made in the previous step
(https://s16.postimg.org/s6yox997p/04_skybox_model.png)


-Now go back to the SSI ( first asset we made ), and fill in the skybox you created under 'skybox model'
-Now open Radiant, select the sun-volume and where it says SSI 1 you enter your newly created SSI.

-Export lights, link, and run map ( dont expect anything fancy looking, but at least you got normal lighting now.. )

That skybox doesn't exist.

The one in the pics doesn't exist for me either, that's why i put this in the description:

Quote
...under LOD 0 fill in a skybox model ( t6_props\vista\skybox\t6_skybox.xmodel_bin for example
that one does exist for me
(if you mean the skybox in the first pic, just ignore that. Leave that blank, and follow the 'tut'. At the end you make a skybox to put in there. btw tut is now changed.. )

idk why you have to do it, and others dont. Other people get errors i dont get and vice versa..
It's not that hard, just follow the steps.. no need for me to hold your hand allong the way.

If it doesn't work it might be another issue, i know this solved it for me though..


Thank you

 :) np, so it worked for you?

Doesn't look like anything related to this, but if i read the error you placed an FX in radiant without specifying anything? ( like in waw when you placed a model, and pressed esc and the big PWND model would show up ). Look for the fx and delete it, or just start a new map if it's just the test map..



Changed to use a stock skybox, so you only have to create one asset now. Left the old method in the spoiler..

Well it did the trick in radiant. But ingame it is still bugged. Everything is white except when u stand in the shadows.

I'm doing something very wrong i guess :-\

Thanks atleast i have better lighting now cause the only skybox that worked for me was zm_factory and it's way too dark.

Would anyone happen to know why this happens?

Another question, does anyone else have no fire sound and "glitchy" looking zombie walking anims?

Should we just wait until pcdev fixes this? Is there any way for us to do so (fix the issue)?

I found out how to fix this if you want to use your default_... SSIs like the default_day or somelike.

I wrote a text tutorial: here (http://ugx-mods.com/forum/index.php/topic,13125.html)

This worked to fix the random lighting that is seeping through my walls but my enclosed room now has a random big shadow in the middle.

EDIT:
This is what my enclosed room looks like. I want it to be completely dark since its inside, the only light i would want is the one shining downwards.

But no matter what I do its like the sun light is going through the wall on half of the room.

Hey did you ever learn how to fix this?

It seems like its saying that you have an fx that isn't setup right. Make sure the fx path is valid and that its a working fx.

For everyone who is still looking for a solution.

Load a map in radiant then open the filter page (press F)

Above everything there are 3 boxes

- static probe view
- Game View
- Skybox

You need to tick the sky box
