Planet lights are not working

from GalCiv2 Forums
Hello all.

Lately, I was wondering to make another Light map mod, but when I put my new light_noise.png in the planets folder, I don't see any lights but a couple of white dots in my planets.

Not that the lights worked before the change, but how do I make them look better?

I don't think debug is required but if it is, just tell me and I'll post it.

Is it something with my video options or....?

Thanks

it's maybe the resolution of the light_noise, 512x256 is bad for lights so they appear as ugly dots, 1024x512 like my lightmap mod is hmmm... okay... but 2048x1024 would be good to show small dots and streets, but increase memory usage, and I heard DA is full of memory probs, so try it out,=o)

greets,

Hehe, don't worry Stef, my Hi-Res Light map is 4096x2048

If the size is the matter, I really don't know

then it maybe the size of your dots or the art of shading your lightmap (ingame)
