Hey there!
I'm creating a new for tournament use, and I face some issues with the lightmapping.
Situation:
I did terrain lightmapping (medium) with the following settings:
- sun low over the horizon, early morning.
TerrainLight.con
rem ******** Lightmap Generation Settings ********
if v_arg1 == BF2Editor

LightMapGeneration.init
LightMapGeneration.GILightsBaseDir 0/0.33/-0.66

LightMapGeneration.GILightsViewDistance 10
LightMapGeneration.skyWhite 0.3
LightMapGeneration.numberOfGILights 8
LightMapGeneration.sunLightShadowIntensity 1
LightMapGeneration.sunLightFov 2
LightMapGeneration.sunLightIntensity 1

endIf

The effect is good so far, see screenshot.

Basic question: Why are buildings/statics "lightmapped" when I do terrain lightmapping?

But now:
I lightmap a building with the following settings:

ObjectLight.con
rem ******** Lightmap Generation Settings ********
if v_arg1 == BF2Editor

LightMapGeneration.init
LightMapGeneration.GILightsBaseDir 0/0.33/-0.66
LightMapGeneration.GILightsIntensity 0.5
LightMapGeneration.GILightsShadowIntensity 1
LightMapGeneration.GILightsFov 45
LightMapGeneration.UseGITopLight 1
LightMapGeneration.GITopLightIntensity 0.1
LightMapGeneration.GILightsViewDistance 10
LightMapGeneration.skyWhite 0.5
LightMapGeneration.numberOfGILights 8
LightMapGeneration.sunLightShadowIntensity 1
LightMapGeneration.sunLightFov 2
LightMapGeneration.sunLightIntensity 3

endIf
..the result is not what I expected.
What is lost is the sunlight on the house front that was there after the terrain lightmapping, see house in the center:


1. What am I doing wrong? Or am I understanding something probably completly wrong?
2. Shall I even do more lightmapping? I think the buildings look good even w/o object lightmapping.

Any help is appreciated :-)

I tried to follow those tuts here:
http://www.bfeditor.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10002
http://www.bfeditor.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=10002
and the standard tut from Fenring, but I seem to miss essential basics :-(

Epic, yes that's it.
Thx!

Certainly Ramelle-Neuville with them two bloody Tigers...
Then the current backflag-capping-galore Bastogne...otherwise the map is great
Siege of Tobruk never fails to annoy me :-)
