Re: [Nel] // better questions on zone_lighter.exe //

[julian]

thankyou so much,

i was looking for the config's you spoke of earlier, and couldn't find them. 
the build process i have been following has been the same as the new one you 
mention below but it's been hard guessing the new values as some of them are 
quite obscure!

thanks again,

julian oliver

|In the last build process, you should have the cfg/properties_draft.cfg and
|cfg/properties_final.cfg files. "properties.cfg" file is not in the CVS
|anymore.
|properties_draft.cfg and properties_final.cfg are two config files that set
|the values to use in DRAFT mode and FINAL mode.
|The build mode is set in the "cfg/site.cfg" variable "build_quality".
|Once the site.cfg is filled, run build_gamedata/0_setup.bat and it will
|generate the cfg/properties.cfg file.
|Then, your "cfg/properties.cfg" file should be ok.
|
|After the zone/3_build.bat process, you should get the zone_welded/*.zonew
|files but also the zone_depend/*.depend files generated for each .zone file
|presents in zone_exported/ .
|
|The depend files are text files that give for a zone the zones that can cast
|shadows on it. It is used by the zone_lighter.
|
|The reason the .depend are not generated is the zone_region parameter in the
|cfg/config.cfg file is not setuped correctly.
|
|zone_region = 2_aa, 50_dd
|
|The variable gives the two zone names of the bounding box of your world.
|Here, the world goes from zone 2_aa to 50_dd.
|
|Once depend files have been generated, the lighter works fine.
|
|If your are in trouble with this, ask for more.
|
|Hld.
