And then of course when you compile the map is where your CPU will get hammered if I recall correctly. I would recommend building a box with spawn points first just to see how your computer handles compiling everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

UPDATE:Just finished a test room with 4 lightings 1 player start lighting is supposed to be white but came out red..however the compiling and reflection went ok for single player..tested room and seems good other then red lighting..

It's ok to have say tall structures and foliage outside of the light grid if it's not a playable area. The light grid takes up memory resources of the map so you want to keep it to playable areas so depending on what a map looks like, can use multiple light grids of various sizes to surround the playable areas.
