I just saw this in my RAD log file and was wondering if anybody knows what it's about.. this is Cagey's 1.7p8 build with -nomath, but it happened on 1.7p7 as well. Anyone seen this before? Cagey? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

It's probably a message that was meant for debugging but was never removed from the code, since there's a SDF::3 commented out nearby -- it's being thrown when the sample point used to measure light arriving into a patch is being covered by a light blocking entity and the point for that patch should be moved (nudged) to allow the patch to accumulate light properly.
Long story short, the message isn't an error, but is in a chunk of code that isn't used much and Laurie / Hullu / whoever was the last to touch it forgot to comment out the Log line.

If the SDF setting up a SDF for SDFing his SDF, it's already too late. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

-nomath or -oldmath? <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->
Uh.. erm.. definitely -nomath. *clears throat* I, uh.. have a custom build.. which uses.. uh.... voodoo light calculation. Yeah. No math. Kinda like voodoo economics.
