Player Lighting?

by PuG · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 06/25/2007 (8:03 am) · 2 replies

Hi, for some reason my player character using Atlas terrian appears very dark, even with high light settings - if I load the dts object as static shape it appears fine.

Any suggestions?

Regards!

You can increase the player lighting amount on atlas by changing these lines in sceneObject.cpp (line 1954) method getLightingAmbientColor:

if(atlas)
		  {
			  Box3F box = atlas->getObjBox();
			  atlas->getRenderWorldTransform().mulP(collision.point);
			  uv.x = mClampF((collision.point.x / (box.max.x - box.min.x)), 0.0, 1.0);
			  uv.y = mClampF((collision.point.y / (box.max.y - box.min.y)), 0.0, 1.0);
			  lightmap = atlas->lightMapTex.getBitmap();
		  }

To:

if(atlas)
		  {
			  [b]lightmap = NULL;
			  mLightingInfo.mDefaultColor = ColorF(1.0f, 1.0f, 1.0f);
			  mLightingInfo.mUseInfo = true;[/b]
		  }

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Right ive done the adjustment above, though doesn't seem to have any effect on the player character lighting levels (ive also done a full rebuild just incase - no errors).

(Ignore - now working!! - thanks!)
