After loading I add shadow to this node and set attribute EMF_LIGHTING = true. And some light nodes( ~ 10 ).
radius from 1 to 5.
Troubles:
1. some parts of this map haven't got shadows.
2. floor doesn't lighting it's black
3. and ALL map ( and holes in objects ) became some lighted veru little but.... ( exclude floor )
Where is my bug or it is Irllicht bug? ( I use irrlichtnx and irrlicht 0.7 official)
irrlicht doesnt normally support support dynamic lights in BSPs
youd have to change the node's material type to EMF_LIGHTMAP_LIGHTING_M4 to ovveride its default setting of EMF_LIGHTMAP_M4 which doesnt calculate dynamic lighting
your floor isnt lit because dynamic lights calculate lighting on a per-vertex basis. your floor should only be lit when your light approches the corners (if its just a simple box) and it would look really ugly
also, 10 lights is one hell of a lot, it would really bog down your FPS. i think i read somewhere that only 8 lights at a time can be transformed in hardware
Would you please give me more information about these max. 8 lights ?
I'm working on a little city and therefore i need many street-lights - something like in the game RollerCoaster Tycoon 3.
I saw afecelis screenshots in his thread "Project's status report - and help!" (the lights on the floor, image4, i guess this are real lights?), and so i think it should be possible.
Now i have a simple test-program which creates 40 cubes - each with his own light in front (small radius, so only a part of this cube should be lightened by "his" light).
The 40 cubes and 40 lights are created in a loop, but only some (about 5) of the first lights are working, most of the others are ignored and therefore most cubes are black.
