Flashlight flicker on walls

by Brandon Smith · in · 05/22/2005 (4:18 am) · 5 replies

Hello,

I have baught the lighting pack largely in the hopes of a flashlight that would light up completely dark areas. It does that, however now the flashlight flickers like crazy against walls. It works fine with the
terrain and floors, but hardly at all on walls.

I've noticed this with the light generated from explosions by the crossbow as well, it's just a lot less obvious.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happeing? I'd really appreciate it!

Nevermind,

I guess it was just the flashlight.
It was going inside the walls and thats why you couldn't see it.

I posted a way to fix it as a comment on Robert's resource.

Hi Brandon,

Wow, that's cool - I'll take a look at the resource. Oh, and the Lighting Pack's brighter rendering works with all existing TGE lights, so the flashlight should look really good.

John,

You probably get this a lot, but I wanted to really thank you for this lighting pack. It's made my entire game so much brighter with vibrant colors. It has tremendously inproved the graphics and I haven't even added that many of the lights yet. The integration was really smooth too, this is really an excellent pack.

And thanks for the compliment!
