Lights bug

[Gohan_Trunksss]

I know this has been talked about a lot but i havent seen anyone mention how to fix it... is there a way to fix the lights bug when the lights show threw walls (mainly in the courners) this is happening a lot on my map and i need to fix it before i can release it.

People say no. Only one thing you can try is make the walls connect like this in the corners:

 

| |___

|/___

 

instead of this:

 

| |___

|_|___ (this is not good)

 

or this:

 

| |

|_|___ (this lets through light)

|___

 

 

And when I write cornes I mean every corners, not only in between the WALLs but between WALLS AND FLOOR / CEILING. Of coure only in the case of the light bug.

 

Hope this helps a bit.

 

 

edit: actually I can't make space on the beginnigs of the lines, so the last example is show wrong

wow that would be a lot of time i dont have to go back threw and change all the courners lol, mabe i can just try to fix the really bad spots heh, anyways i think i understand what you mean on the connecting courners, do you think u can get a ingame shot or a radient shot so its a better picture of how to do it?

[Leslie Judge]

I could do the images bur I don't have a place to load them up yet.

 

Well, I would have get a place to put my map's website online so in the very near future...

OK, here it is: http://www.geocities.com/birolaszlo

 

Hope this helps you, cause I have the problem too, and I don't know how to eliminate it completely.

[Gohan_Trunksss]

so your best solution was to thicken the wall?

[Emon]

Does anyone know if this also happens with shader lights?

[Leslie Judge]

Yep, for me the thick walls were the best.

 

Emon: actually that light is coming from the sky. There is a surfacelight and a q3map_sun. I dont know how the sun exactly works. Maybe it is similar to any light entities... If it is, than you have a good chance that shaders don't generate this kind of problem.

 

I'll try that and post the answer.
