Hi all,
I'm trying to guess what is the best compile method with q3map2 and Light.
I'm doing tests on a "cornell box" map and I always get a non smooth color transition, instead I get a weird pixelated effect. Look at the screen:
I have tryed lot of things on the light compiling but I do not find the problem.
Can you guys tell me the best way to compile Light or how can I fix my problem??
Thanks

What version of q3map2 are you using?
I don't remember all the parameters details because I have done this batch file a long time ago but here is the content of that batch file (this is what I use to compile my maps and shadows are smooth):
notes:
[list]
-The latest q3map2 (from shaderlab (www.shaderlab.com)) was installed in C:q3map2
-Quake3 path is C:Program FilesQuake III arena.
-q3ut3 is your Urban Terror folder inside the Quake3 folder (usually the mod name too).
-That batch file (let's call it mybatch.bat) is placed in the maps folder inside the q3ut3 folder. I could use it by openning a command prompt window, change dir to the right location and type mybatch ut_mymap. There are other ways to call the batch file but I won't get into them here.
-Samplesize default is 16. If all your walls are thicker than 16 units, then you don't need it.
-Ok, this is beyond the scope of what you've asked, but at least you'll get perfect shadows with that.
