bumbmap lighting error

[SkyFox]

Crystalspace 1.2
blender2crystal 6.0 rc2

Hello everybody, I have a mystery.

I'm using the shadowed renderloop in a mapfile I have created with blender2crystal. The map contains five meshes with bumbmap shader, like the image below and one mesh with paralax shader, like shown below.

When I run the map in the walktest, it runs just fine. However, when I run it in my own app like this:

  vfs->ChDir ("/lev/simple");
  if (!loader->LoadMapFile ("world")) ReportError("Error couldn't load level!");

then on runtime I get the warning:

crystalspace.engine.warning:
Couldn't load cached lighting for 6 object(s). Use ~relight to calculate lighting.

To the map itself I can't see any rendering differences. It's just annoying having the warning everytime I do a test run.

If anyone sees directly what I'm doing wrong, I'd be happy to hear.

Why would you be doing something wrong? To avoid that warning just do as it says. i.e. use -relight.

Ow I thought the warning meant that the engine was automaticly using ~Relight, because the shaders were wrong or something. I didn't realise it was an instruction.

Thanks! But how do I use ~Relight. It's not clear to me what that is. Is it some modification for the map file, or should it be done at runtime? If it should be done at runtime I'd like to have a way to get ~relight done automaticly when the application runs.

It is '-relight' and not '~relight'. Also it is usually done on the commandline. You can avoid using it by having engine->SetLightingCacheMode(0) in the code right before engine->Prepare().

OK I disabled the lighting cache and now there's no more warning message.

Thanks!
