Great, now I have another problem. Whenever I try to use the plugin, I click OK and then the level just shows up as a black screen. What can fix this?

Hi Ethan,
sorry to have not read forums for a week....
But I need to know more about your config.....
One reason could be the fact you set lighting on and level is not really lighted... Or camera is positioned somewhere not in the level and because of gravity you're falling down forever.....
There are many reasons....So to be sure you need just to do the following things:
Camera Settings:
-Check Place camera in center of level
Collision Settings:
-UnCheck Enable Collision
Engine Settings:
-Set resolution to minimum and run in window (uncheck fullscreen)
-Check Ignore Shadows
Level Settings:
-Select a background color different from Black
Fx Settings:
-UnCheck All
At this point run and check if background colour is the same choosen by you.
Than you can move freely in level to check geometry....
Let me know, this procedure is really usefull to check and prove hardware limitations generally.
Bye Wink

I think it was because of gravity, I got it to work now. Thanks!

Is it just me, or do lightmaps not appear with this plugin in DeleD 1.4?

Hi Hpesoj,
DeleD Level Preview works as usual (even better Wink ), since last update.
And as you can see (I've tested before with 1.4 PRO Beta and now with new 1.4):

and in level preview:

or to show all primitives (just more complex ones Wink)

There can be some reasons for your trouble, the simpliest is ignore shadows checked, one possible is a levelpreview.cfg corrupted file.
So just to be sure delete levelpreview.cfg and retry (this could happen if you installed DeleD to another dir and copied levelpreview.dll including old created levelpreview.cfg).
Anyway let me know, bye Wink.
