I see screen shots of other individuals work and the lighting is always so smooth.

mine doesn't ever seem smooth at all. its like each square/segement is one shade rather than smooth across.
I have lightmapping on best for quality, no reduction in texture. and i have shader effects on.

any thoughts?


also, unrelated. i just upgraded to Win8 and none of my newer builds are working. im running 1.20.015. thoughts on that as well

EDIT: i downgraded to 1.19 and the lighting is smooth now in preview. not as pretty but it could just be the texture.
but it's still bad in the "offical" build.

@charlie mcdowell :- If you just updated to windows 8 you need to unstall your drivers and install updated ones for your graphics card, soundcard and chipset.

I would update to version 1.20 beta v1.17a and download the latest unofficial release.


To get smooth lightmapping go into your setup.ini and change the lightmapping settings.


I use lightmapquality=30 this is ideal for nice looking levels and not going over the cap.

I always have in fpsc best for performance.


Hope this helps
