Well do scenery with light markers or the easiest thing just add light markers to your map directly.

Or in sapien, pick the icon in the top left that looks like an air brush. In one of your windows, it will show a color selector and a save lightmap option.

Change the black color to a white color (or any color you want lights to be) and just click on the map. The lights will fill in the map. Its HIGHLY effective and doesnt mess up your texture

thats only in spaien, the light wont stay once you create a cache file.

It stays if you save it once you have edited it.....

you never have saved it have you??? it gives you the option of saveing the changes you just made to the light map.
