{{DISPLAYTITLE:%CompileNoLight}}{{subpage|[[Material map compile flags]]}}
{{since|{{as}} {{src13}}}}
When this parameter is added to materials, it will tell [[VRAD]] to not compile a [[Lightmap]] page for that material, which saves compile time.  [[Valve]] introduced this parameter with [[Alien Swarm]], using it with <code>tools/toolsnolight.vmt</code>, the black areas you see in the levels.


Useful if you need features from shaders such as [[LightmappedGeneric]] or [[LightmappedReflective]] which are not present in [[UnlitGeneric]].

==Syntax==

    %compileNoLight                         1
