Hi all,

Anyone here who can explain this problem and solve?

I made a simple terrain, with only 1 tree.
Next i wanted to generate lightning to test shadows.

But after it was done, it said:
)
Generating atlas lightmaps blahblah..
*** FAILED ***
)
Now everything has gone crazy, shadow in sky, things in the air, argh!

Ive read a post like this but there hasnt been an answer yet.
Any1 know what this "FAILED" means?

Did you set a direction for the sun and stuff?

Oh, and I used to get the failed thing until I got the lightmap samples.

Looks like its best to use Trace Terrain, Primary and low when generating...:confused:

You could try using the 'clean lightmaps folder' option then try, and doing the sun / lightflare stuff.

and Trace Terrain, Primary and low when generating is not the best, its just the quickest.
