I am assuming it adds HDR to your map. Does that take longer to compile then, or what. And how can you add bloom to your maps. -------------------- My Mushroom

Thank you for collaborating.

1/2 True

HDR will work on normal skyboxes...but proper HDR skyboxes mean proper reflections and correct brightness reflections (eg. Lost Coast skybox etc)

lolz

btw...compiling with HDR will be slower...when compiling with HDR it does the buildfacelights phase twice.

The best Final compile parameter are (according to me of course) : "$bsp_exe" -game $gamedir $path\$file "$vis_exe" -game $gamedir $path\$file "$light_exe" -both -final -game $gamedir $path\$file "Copy File" $path\$file.bsp $bspdir\$file.bsp "$game_exe" -dev -console -allowdebug -game $gamedir +map $file -=FamilyGuy=- -------------------- I love narbacular drop, portal, exite, sex, physics, hacking stuff and dreamcast... and hacking dreamcast...
