Our programmer recently added in the Lighting Pack to illumina and everything seemed to be fine.
However ive noticed the following weird error.

What you see is the player model suddenly goes black for a split second.
It only happens very quickly and sort of loops every few seconds. It also only happens in certain spots.
I think it has soemthing to do with the Spotlights or sfuniversalstatic light setup.
To my knowledge there werent any problems with the integration process.
This is using 1.3 with lightingpack + enviropack.
If i move a little out of the spot the problem goes away. Its very jarring when it does happen though.
Anyone seen anything like this before ?

Well, John said he was counting the time 'till release in 'days'. Since this was earlyish last week and knowing that usually the best way to judge a deadline is to figure out your 'gut' feeling and then multiply that by 3-4 times, I figure we may see it sometime this week or early next ;)Fingers crossed, eh?

I haven't seen anything like that before. I'm releasing version 1.2 of the Lighting Pack soon it's based on TGE 1.3 and doesn't require integration (this will help rule out an integration problem). Also the latest Lighting Pack will allow you to debug into the pack itself, so if the problem persists you can easily identify the engine modifications that may be interfering with the Lighting Pack.
