Build Light function hang up EDK

[WOBBLER]

After using a lightmass importance volume my problem seems to have gone, thanks VorLoN.

[Wildstyle]

I'm still havng the problem,i've been messing with my firewall, running as admin, de-installin and re-installing. Right now I'm using the example-map as the try-out for re-doing the bake. I've mae no changes on it so the lightmass Importancevolume is also still in place.

In the logfiles from the swarm agent it keeps displayig the same massage:

[PingCoordinator] Coordinator ping failed
[PingCoordinator] Determined that we couldn't ping the coordinator
[PingCoordinator] Coordinator ping failed
[PingCoordinator] Determined that we couldn't ping the coordinator

I'm completely out of ideas

Wildstyle -

Can you follow this repro and send me what is displayed in your Swarm Agent Log tab:

1. Load ExampleMap
2. Build Lighting using preview lightmass

Also view the Swarm Status tab and see if your machine is listed there.

[Wildstyle]

Hi Skasteve,

thnx for the repy. In the log Swarm Agent log tab is says the following:

23:29:27: Starting up SwarmAgent ...
23:29:27: ... registering SwarmAgent with remoting service
23:29:27: ... registering SwarmAgent network channels
23:29:28: ... initializing SwarmAgent
23:29:29: ...... initializing cache
23:29:29: ......... using cache folder 'C:\SwarmCache'
23:29:29: ......... recreating SwarmAgent cache staging area
23:29:29: ...... initializing connection to SwarmCoordinator
23:29:29: ......... using SwarmCoordinator on BUILDFARM-01
23:29:36: ......... SwarmCoordinator failed to be initialized
23:29:36: ...... initializing local performance monitoring subsystem
23:29:38: ... initialization successful, SwarmAgent now running

In the Swarm Status tab, no machines are listed at all.
I hope this helps

Anything here any help? http://udn.epicgames.com/Three/Swarm...tAndSetup.html

FYI, I have this same exact issue. Found this thread via google. I have windows vista 64bit. Guy next to me with same exact setup can build all with lightmass just fine. I only tried a simple box room with one point light. Nothing in the above link seems to help me.

hi

I have very similar problems.
I couldn't run lightmass at all without it crashing - I've fixed most problems by changing changing the swarm agent and coordinators run preferences so that they run in xp service pack 2 compatability mode, turning off desktop themes (I'm running vista and that setting seems to always give problems)and that I'm running them as administrator.
However I still get the error dialogue 'The lighting build failed' though there seems to be no clue as to why in the log file. (see below).

I am running 32 bit vista - is this the problem? if not any ideas?

thanks

[Sannaakita]

I should add that the swarm status just seems to continue for ever in an 'importing results' state. Whenever the bar fills up - it just extends a little more.

[Sannaakita]

Ok I changed the swarmagent settings to enable standalone mode.
I no longer get the failure error message box. Instead the status never gets beyond processing mapping, and the log file now shows:

I don't think I have the same error as Sannaakita. When I build all, it freezes at "collecting scene" and I get no error message.
