Re: swap lightmap?
It has a bitm dependency, just drag that from the map you want to another...r0tten wrote:how do i give a map a new lightmap, like switch them from one level to another, it doesnt have any dependencies to swap...
But Lightmaps are level orientated, and will not look anything alike on another map..

In Entity, click on the lightmap, then in the refrence editor, goto "View Idents". The [bitm] should be the first one...You can swap it for another map, but it will look terrible.

The lightmap bitmaps, are made for each specific level. Here is one lightmap bitmap from Coagulation. You can clearly see there are diffrent "portions" for diffrent parts of the map. The circled part is for red base. If you put Coag's lightmap on Dune, you would get the shadow for Coag's red base, in some random ass spot on the map.
