Advanced lighting + point light = no light?

by Mitchell Talmadge · in Torque 3D Professional · 07/07/2011 (4:50 am) · 5 replies

I have a point light and a "Planet" (boulder dts model). The point light is the only light in the game. When I have basic lighting on, the planet lights up, like it should. When I have advanced lighting on, there is no light at all. Does anybody know why?

And while I'm at it, does anybody know how to increase the distance of rendering for the flares? I want to create an eve online-like sun, but the flare wont render very far..

I have been scripting mods for a game called "Blockland" and I decided to take a shot at making my own game. I am currently working on my own game titled "Celestial Online".

    Any ideas?

    Edit: That's weird, I just played today and it started working and I haven't done anything. Oh well, at least it's fixed :)
