Dynamic Lights Not Working?

#1 Are you using Atlas or the legacy terrain? (see the TSE Lighting System Q&A thread for Atlas lighting details)

#2 Atlas terrain. I ported over our light types from the TGE TLK build (by just renaming them to the new name) and they all work. But dynamic weapon lighting isn't working for me.

#3 Yup - looks like the code is commented out.

#4 Try this:

In shapeImage.cc line 648 uncomment the ShapeBaseImageData::registerImageLights code block and change the last line in the method to:

lightManager->sgRegisterGlobalLight(&mLight);

Then in shapeBase.h line 276 uncomment the LightInfo object.


Let me know if that works correctly with your setup and I'll commit it to the 1.0 branch.

#5 Projectiles, explosions, and items have similar problems and can be fixed in the same way. Again I'll commit these to 1.0.

Thanks for pointing this out.

#6 Along these same lines, the Q&A mentions Shadows on Atlas2 terrain even with the clipmap changes from Interiors. I am not seeing any shadows projects from my Interiors from Static lights, per the Q&A...

This related to all of this?

#7 It mentions dynamic DTS shadows on Atlas, any other internal shadows and lighting are not implemented yet. Atlas currently uses the light map provided when importing the terrain data.

#8 Ahhh.. Okay, I will have to check the DTS shadowing! thank you
