.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

Nevertheless, it may be sensible to compile (light) with -bounce 0. That will skip the radiosity part. Usually the lighting barely deteriorates with this flag, but the time saving can be substantial.

Absolutely correct, very little difference/improvement worthy of the time.

And still you keep reading...Tell me, do you get frustrated when thinking about the chicken or the egg?

What have you ever produced or contributed?
Clearly you do not like MJ but you are in the minority and obviously intent on pissing people off.

Get your angles right, this is the mistake many people make, any bullsh*t regarding using the 'alwasyaway' entry is pointless as its default.

I have to post this quote:

Follow these steps young padawan :wink:

To be honest It's been so long since I mapped for this game I have refered to Nemesis tutorial page, as far as I can recall it worked for me when starting out.

1) the Game Source directory is pointing to ?C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\MOHAA?
2) The compile ...

Well, there arn't any.
Some textures are NO Draw and a few others are Chaulk.

Maybe I should let Bromi check it?

Should you let this person check it?
This is surely a question only you can answer is it not?
I don't mean to be a smartass, but it reinforces what I said earlier that to realy make ...

I love seeing the "you wont get anyone, mohaa is dead" stuff...then all of a sudden people show up. I bet you that was Imaginations plan all along...lol.
There are textures for the light Werhmacht and Gestapo in the pk3's in SH . I'm sure all the other stuff is probably there too (just wasn't ...

Hmm if mohlight is really crashing there is probably not much you can do :(

I suggest to compile with -bounce 0.

Are there visual problems other than the arches you posted?

I agree, when I used to map for this fine game many moons ago I found the time taken up by radiosity was simply not worth ...

I admire your enthusiasm my friend but alas you are 5-6 years too late, I say this with a heavy heart as mohaa was and always will be close to my heart. It was difficult enough when interest in modding this game was high, to gather a collective group of worldy wise talented people that would embark ...

Using vis leafs, you don't unless you want to have to give key - targets, with 2 'blocks' of vis you simply select 1 then the ofther and press crtl k (i'm going off of memory here I think its right).
It still gets confusing and I would advise you testing in a simple map to get used to the basic ...

I personaly never used vis caulk, however I did make use of area portals and manual vis (vis leafgroups)
As all these things were used to optimize the map performance, I doubt if it is as much a problem now as the game is old and technology has developed to such an extent that fps issues should be a ...

Was a bit harsh with my last reply.
Basicaly the vis stage taking a long time is primarily because the mapper has not detailed enough of his/her brushes, also complex brushes are difficult and time consuming for the compiler to work out.

I'm still wondering about the vis compiling. I don't think that ever got explained. Sometimes mine takes a really long time too. I'm still kind of struggling with good lighting that isn't ambient.

I always use caulk on my skyboxes and it works just fine. It's only when I make a ginormous skybox ...

Unfortunatley I cant view your map cos of constant fu#king problems with bas#ard Vista which doesn't allow me to map or play this game.
(you may guess I'm not a big Vista fan atm)
However the info given is correct regarding max points on winding, by reading the replies and that it is a large house ...

Booooo move to scripting, us simple mapping folk can't solve this!

I didn't add any visleafs. I do have LOD terrain with verticies tweaked and I do a bunch of clipping on regular brushes to get different shapes.

~ is there a setting on the vis process that I can tweak to handle strange angles?

Well you could make the brushes detail and therefore the vis process ...
