Hi there, Smile

The reason why the DeleD doesn't do it that way, is because it's a very specific (and not too efficient) solution for lightmapping that is only supported by Darkbasic. Since the .dbo file format supports lightmaps (and is hopefully rendered without using multiple passes), we never saw a reason to implement the export-each-layer-to-a-separate-.x-file functionality.

The .dbo exporter should work just fine with DeleD LITE. If it didn't work for you, you must have stumbled upon a bug: please report it in the plugin section, and hopefully the author (Salvatore Russo) can pick it up, or somebody else might give you some pointers on how to get things up and running!

DeleD PRO has better lightmapping functionality than DeleD LITE, but none of our plugins requires DeleD PRO. By all means, do stick with LITE as long as it's enough for your needs!

Hope that helps,
Paul-Jan

I would like to know if it's possible to change the shadow color instead of black. I can only change the ambient light color

The DeleD Lightmapper lighting model makes that a bit hard. Shadows (i.e. "areas where there is no light") are always grey (intensity determined by the Shadow opacity. The Ambient Color is applied as a filter (multiplication) at the end of the lighting stage, in stead of the more common approach of adding it as a base light.

In effect, the best way to get shadows with a particular color is to add extra filler lights in the particular color. Or, as an alternative, get enough people that want the lighting model changed and have some of the contributors modify the source code.
