Ghogiel Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Do the FX beams emit any light?no. its simply a mesh object. Like i stated, I have no clue about modding, But ive seen mods that add a red point lazer. I would imagine u could change that red to a white/yellowish colour, and expand the circle to become. a more flashlighty effect. But As nobody has done it. I'm also geussing its downright impossible.Not impossible. It just doesn't cast light. at all. it is set only to self illuminate. Don't blame the designers; blame the people who decided to use an engine so old that it doesn't support directional lighting.I know for a fact Bethesda now has access to directional lights. as well as DX10 and DX11(only on PC). As well as could have enabled shadow maps on everything. As well as a lot more GI options. That might not have been the case in 2005 when Fallout started development. But then no one was really pushing DX10, GI, or any of that then really either. except crysis. so anyway, the code is there now. will they use it? its up to them. I think almost certainly yes- Unless in their case it's based on dx10 or 11 api, then no. as they dev for the Xbox and probably won't use anything that won't work on that platform. As mentioned there are things you can do to simulate or even cast directional light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
