Question by sacajawhoohoo · Aug 20, 2013 at 12:40 AM · errorlightmappingfilebaking

Lightmap Baking Error

Whenever I go to bake in Unity I get this error "Something went wrong in Beast lightmapper: File IO error - could not create process". I have Unity Pro 4.1.5 this is very annoying and I cannot create shadows without it.

Seems to be a bug in the current version

Well I also had this problem back in Unity 4.0, so do you know if 4.2 fixes this?

This is listed as a fix for 4.2, but none of my meshes use mesh compression. "Graphics: Fixed dynamic batching not working on meshes that use "$$anonymous$$esh Compression" import setting (regression in 4.0)."

Submit a bug report.

If it's on an older version and it works on a new version, please don't submit a bug report. It's already been fixed then :)

Just a quick update on this issue. I had the same problem but moved my files to another folder, and the issue went away. I'm on a MacBook Pro running Unity 4.3.

When Unity reported the bug, the path it gave me for the file it couldn't open had some very strange characters in it in place of the hyphens in my file name ( - ). I moved it to a simpler path (the root folder on my hard drive), and now beast works fine.
