The '''MakeMegaTexture''' console command loads the tiles outputted by [[RenderLight]], then compiles and compresses them to generate the final [[MegaTexture]].<includeonly>

{{main|MakeMegaTexture}}</includeonly><noinclude>

* Will always look for a single large TGA before looking for tiles. Make sure to clean out the directory first!
* Will use all tiles that sit in a folder (or try to). If you compile a large MegaTexture and a lower res one after, make sure to clean out the old tiles first!
* The output file is in megatextures/mapname_lit.mega
* Options
** Best quality: enables the use of compression
** Luminance, Chrominance, Alpha error:
*** The smaller these values, the bigger the final MegaTexture and the better the quality. A balance between size and quality must be found by adjusting these values.
*** Typically, Luminance will be a smaller value than Chrominance, which will be smaller than Alpha. Since we've been using 4 channel megatextures, our starting value has usually been -q 40 60 80, which produces approximately 500-600mb megatextures for most temperate maps. More arid maps usually compress better.
*** Same as '''-q <lum> <chrom> <alpha>''' on the command line
*** The alpha value is still required, but not used, when generating 3 channel MegaTextures
** Baked Lighting
*** Same as '''-rgb''' on the command line.
*** If this is used, renderLight must have been run using '''-preMulLighting'''
*** This has only just gone in, so we don't have much experience using it - please let the programming team know of any issues you find.
