Sun in the wrong place...

#1 I'm guessing the sun is near the upper left? I don't exactly know what you're asking here. Did you make sure to re-light the map after you changed things? Remember that "the mission is only lighted the first time everything loads"

#2 Yah .. this is when i come in the map...the shadow on the player is correct but the geomety shadows are all wrong..i have put NO lights into the scene..

#3 Try going into the mission editor and Edit->Relight Scene

#4 Ok i found something in the bugs section on this
http://www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=10025

i did what it said and recompiled still no dice..

#5 I've noticed a similar problem in my own projects, which means at some point I'll probably be taking a look at this... don't hold your breath though. :)

#6 This is working for me:

At base.cc

VectorF lightDir(0.57f,0.57f,-0.57f);
   // Do we have any lights?
   if ( gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->getNumLights() > 0 )
   {
      // Yes, so fetch sunlight ( always first light ).
      LightInfo sunLight = gClientSceneGraph->getLightManager()->getLight(0);
      lightDir = sunLight.mDirection;
   }

   // Normalise light direction.
   lightDir.normalize();
   ...

For this to work you must be using the engine version (HEAD works) that calculates the mDirection of the Sun from the azimuth and elevation, check out your sun.cc.

#7 YES! This plus the scene fix patch did the trick..thanx guys!!
