Hello,

I'm a newbie and made a simple map in 3dws and imported it as an .x file in DBPro, but the lights arent imported
I noticed that in the directory 3dws exported the file to, that there were also .BMP files created which contain the textures for lightning.
But how do I use these in DBPro ? Of course I can load the images, but then they'll be applied on all the textures in the map instead of only being used at the location where there r supposed to be lights.
Or isnt it possible to export lights with 3dws and/or .x files ?

Can anyone help me with this ?

3DWS doesn't save the lightmaps when you use the .X format, only the textures. If you want the lightmaps, export as .dbo instead, and then use something like this:



And that should be it.
