I have just recently started using deled lite, which is a great program. The only reason I haven't bought the full version yet is that the site does not accept Laser cards (only used in Ireland as far as I can tell) and at the moment this is my only choice for online payments.

Anyway, after I create some content and put in some light. I generate the lightmaps for the entire level. This then shows within the editor in 3d view. However, I then export it (either as .dmf or .b3d) for use with the Irrlicht engine and the lightmaps don't seem to be saved anywhere. I looked under the content folder under DeledLite/contentname/textures and the lightmap folder is not created. Is this simply because I am using the lite edition? The lighting is also not found when I restart Deled and load up my file.

I tried a search but couldn't find anything to answer my question but I apologise if it has come up before. Thanks guys!

Look in: "deledLight/textures/lightmaps/ " and you'll find the lightmap folder.
The lightmaps aren't exported outside the texture folder.

hi trucker, thanks for getting back to my question. The lightmap folder doesn't seem to created? And as i said, its not just the irrlicht engine. Deled says they are missing too when i load my file up again after a restart.

That's odd. Hopefully Jeroen will see this. I've never used the light version.

Oh yes, I saw this - I'm here every day. Smile

@alittlelost: it's odd indeed. The lite version should save the lightmaps too. For each scene, a seperate directory is made in the lightmaps folder. This should contain the lightmap BMP files.

What happens if you try to create a new scene, save it, then create the lightmaps, and then save again?
