Building cubemaps, a question Created 18 years ago2006-02-10 00:58:12 UTC by Xyos212

OK, Ive got a question. When you compile and run your map and buildcube maps, does that final lighting effect after building the cubemaps stay when I quit and export the BSP? And if so, if on HDR will HDR and LDR effects after building remain also?

Yes, all cubemap effects are saved once you run the command once. Players do not need to run this when they play the maps.

The cubemaps are stored into the .bsp file itself, hence the need to restart the map after running that command. So unless you overwrite your .bsp (after a re-compile, for example), the cubemaps and HDR effects will stay with the map. They're part of it.

Thanks
