to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop? Mr. Green

and run the lights on my level. ...Hoolllyyyy Coow.. its been nearly 24 hours and it's only 33% done. I'm running the lights in release mode. I wonder how big the file will be when it's finished. The MN3 file was about 10 meg. that includes a full briefing and load pic.

I'll be releasing it soon. I just need to play test it in coop mode first. It's a single player level but it's not scripted, nor will it be.

anyone else had to wait this long to run lights? ungläubig

If you run it in "release mode" I'm sure it will light the level with a higher accuracy. Thats why it's a "release mode" ^^

Ask Dark how long each single Saturn SP level needs to wait for...
Could be a week or so if you use highly detailed lighting. It's a good idea to choose a second comp for this task Smilie

A WEEK!??!?!?? Geschockt

I don't have a second computer. Part of the problem was that I ran it in "super detail". This is always a bad idea. It seems to goof up the lighting.

Welp.. looks like I opt out for substandard lighting. Winken

hehe.. thanks for the input, I had no idea it would take that long.

This level has about 28500 faces, 143 portals, and 120 rooms. Should be ready to post in a day or two. I found some tweeking that was missed.

Thanks agian!
