Portal Ambient Light Problem

by Yannis Sovolakis · in Constructor · 06/03/2007 (9:53 am) · 3 replies

Hi there,

I am using TGE 1.5.2 and Constructor 1.0.2 to export a simple single-portal dif.

The probelm is that it seems that the ambient light passes through the portal.
Even after setting Ambient_Light in the Constructor for the portal to zero (0), the problem still exists.

The portal zone is correctly constructed but the lighting passes through.

I have tried all the available options to export.
When exporting with map2dif the ambient light dows not create a problem.

All other options create the above issue.

Is this something I can do to fix that without using map2dif?

Thanks in advance.

Yannis

I've seen this happen on a few of my maps.

Kinda Odd, but since I wanted the light to pass through I didn't care.

I don't know if it's a bug or not.

Yeah, I have your answer. Matt Fairfax explained that this is a bug that has been fixed and will be released in the next update, hopefully this week. Check out the thread that is already in progress about this very issue:
