DeMaddin

Hi everyone, recently I played the singleplayer campaign of Jedi Outcast again and thought I'd look around the JA modding community. To my surprise I discovered this awesome remake of the Bespin duel1 map by SomaZ and the new renderer rend2. This motivated me to give mapping another try. More than ten years ago, I was actively mapping for an extension mod called "Jedi Betrayal" but as expected people's lives continued in different directions and mapping became a lesser priority... I hope to make some small singleplayer maps for JA again, but won't promise anything. I am mostly here for the fun in creating maps and alike. See you around! Maddin

First of all, I'd like to commend you on this outstanding remake and the work on rend2. It looks fantastic and actually motivated me to map for JA again after more than 10 years. Could you elaborate a little more on the process of generating the lightmaps, specifically the HDR ones? You wrote you are using Blender for this, correct? Looking at the PK3 you released, it seems the .hdr files in the maps folder contain the baked lightmaps. I guess q3map2 cannot generate these. But then I am asking myself, how the lightmaps are compiled into the BSP. A decompiled version of your map at least revealed some q3map2 parameters being used. It seems you are combining the Radiant BSP with the Blender BSP using the -mergebsp switch.
