A Request

Post by Daveyboy1978 »

Is it possible to add some ambient light to the computer? I don't know the ins and outs of editing 3d objects so wont pretend to.

If it is possible, could someone do this for me if it doesn't take too long to do???

If I remember correctly, it's all done in the class file not the model. The lamps for instance use an ambient light so you might want to take a look at the code for that and see how it's done.

Cheers mate will have a gander at the code, although I program in vb so its probably going to be difficult to understand it!

When you put a decoration (like a computer) in a map, just go to defaultproperties and go to "Lighting" change some light settings there, either that go to "Display" and increase scaleglow and see how that works.

Or if you're editing the code and recompiling, just go for adding

lighttype=LT_steady
lightradius=8
lightbrightness=32
lighthue=160

to the default properties. Those numbers are total guesses, btw.

Also be aware that the light of computers will be run-time lighting, so won't occlude (i.e. will happily shine straight through walls).
