    I have one scene, i light it fine. I create a copy of this scene, i copy the light maps, i open the new scene, change the LightmapSettings.lightmapdata to the new lightmaps, save the scene

    When i open the lighting window, the textures are still referencing the original lightmap textures, is there another way to do this, is it a bug?

    On 5.1.1p2, iOS
    cheers

    Just Bake new scene. It will be near instant as all the required data is already in cache

    Hi Spirit, can't bake in this case, we want to preserve the original lightmaps, we're merging a bunch of geo and the output on a rebake will be different - so just want to redirect the atlas to the new one. Right now i can only do it at runtime, is there anyway of doing it when not in play mode. When i click on the lightmap it points to the wrong atlas.

    cheers
