Player lighting

by Ian Omroth Hardingham · in · 04/14/2006 (6:19 am) · 3 replies

Hey John, everyone.

Two questions. First, is it easy to just very quickly increase the brightness of the lighting on Player objects?

Second, is it possible to use the sun's directional lighting on players?

Cheers,
Ian

Hey Ian,

You can use the custom DTS blend color to increase the player intensity (the same blend color you're using to show damage).

Setting the pref '$pref::OpenGL::sgDynamicDTSVectorLighting' to '1' in the console makes DTS objects use a directional light for the sun instead of an ambient light.

I know this is the TLK forum but can this be done in TGE 1.5 ?

setting '$pref::OpenGL::sgDynamicDTSVectorLighting' to '1' dont work in TGE 1.5 and the outdoor player lighting looks so bland and old without it :(
