[MP3][bug] Blocks in lightmap/shadows

[haenry]

There are a some minecraft style shadows appearing on HQ settings with HQ shadows, when using a mod:

This is the map used: http://tm.mania-exchange.com/tracks/428 ... neyman-dbs
and this the mod: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/122 ... 3_ver5.zip
The mood used is morning.

The issue only appears, when using a mod and only in regions covered by a shadow, as you can see in the picture. Direct sunlight works fine.

On low quality shadows and HQ gfx settings it's fine too.


Do you need any more information?

Hello,

I wasn't able to reproduce your issue which looks to be the lightmap sampler being wrongly set to "point" instead of "trilinear".
I've tried both on a simple map with your mod, and with your map, I always have the trilinear filter.

I'm assuming you're using the "sunrise" mood ?

I don't think it's related to your mod, yet I don't from what could come this issue.

Thanks

Thanks for your fast reply!
Where can I find the options to change the lightmap sampler?
btw what exactly does the lightmap sampler do?
I guess it picks the area for which it shall calculate ONE shadow brightness/darkness

And the mood uses was "morning" aka "sunrise" the description in your pictures says "sunset" tho

This lightmap sampler is an internal thing, it should never let being set to point, it's looks to be a game issue, yet as I'm not able of getting your issue at work, there is almost no chance to fix it.

Could you try to compute a small map with your mod, save it then quit the game, relaunch_without_update, reload your map to see if the point sampling is still there ?

Have you seen other textures point filtered (except the ones we want to like stadium adverts), when you get close to them (other than the lightmap) ?

Thanks

Did work somehow when we updated the mod (just some textures) and restarted the game + calculating shadows again.
