Lighting Issue

[DaBooch]

Howdy all...one additional question. I have the lighting in the lower level of my mod house set to 40. I want it darkish but not pitch black. I have added additional light sources to increase the ambiance. Here's what I would like to do. I would like to have one of the tunnels in the basement pitch black. Hard to find and a little more spooky. It there a light source (or lack of light source) that can make a specified area darker? Thanks!!

The light base objects have a 'Negative' checkbox. When checked, it reduces the light in the area whitin its radius.

 

I never used it, but it seems to give you what you want.

 

(I suppose I dont have to warn you not to chamge the original object, right?)

I tried that in the CS and it worked perfectly BUT, I saved the mod, went into the game and there was no change? How come?

Well...I dont kbow.

 

Just tried here and it worked fine.

 

I edited a CommonLightYellow800 object, renamed it to MyLight, increased its radius to 2000 and placed it well above the room ceiling. Entered the game and everything was dark.

 

Make sure the 'Initially disabled' is not checked.

I retried, following exactly what you did and, once again, it gets very dark in the CS but no change to the game??? Not sure why.

I may have found something….

I use HDR lighting. I switched to Antialiasing and the resulting light is completely different

 

If you are using AA, try turning HDR on in the Options>>Video. (you have to exit/reenter the game for the change take effect)
