Yes, but i do not mind longer compile times for quality lighting, when it's finished it's finished.

Tnk, there is actually a way to get high detailed shadows in goldsource. This is what my map looked like before i ported it to source

I'm not sure what method you used, but those shadows look razor sharp/hard.

Basically, the lower you scale a texture, the more lightmap quality you trick the engine into drawing; so a surface with a scale of 0.25 can have about four times more detailed lighting than a surface with a scale of 1.

But in order to do that without screwing up the appearance of a texture, you need to export the image somehow, stretch it to as high as possible, re-import it with wally then apply it to a surface in game and lower the size (so it will look normal as well since you stretched it for this purpose) and you should then get a surface with high lightmap detail, so then the engine can calculate its own shadows rather than have to improvise with artificial ones.

Do you know how to import and export textures with wally?

Sorry, i don't think there is an actual tutorial on this, I'm not sure how to better explain it.

Also, here is a shot of a new texture for the mod i am working on.



Which replaces this old texture:



But for some reason i am not totally satisfied with it, i don't know why.
