terzer Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) Hello,I'm creating my first mod and I encountered some problems with the light. To make my explanation short I made a video:VideoThe light in the basement is switching on and off and that irritates me.I don't know if this is a game bug or a modding mistake. For light I make 2 sources: one with shadow (RiftenLight01Shad) and one from a mine.(CidhnaMine_OrangeFlicker).Also when I look at the ceiling from the basement there is a shadow bug.Can anybody help me? edit: Removing the fog and mist effects doesn't help.

Ironman5000 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think the flicker is related the mist you placed, could be that the light can't penetrate the mist object correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terzer Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think the flicker is related the mist you placed, could be that the light can't penetrate the mist object correctly?No, I removed all mist and fog effects, the light is still flickering.

There are controls to vary the shadow range, I think it's something like hold alt+m or ctrl+m, while left click and the light to correct bugged looking cast shadows. Try that maybe?

MightyZ0G Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 that could be caused by having too many shadow casting lightsthe maximum you can have casting shadows on a surface without any glitching is 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a wiki page anyway describing the thing I mentioned, it might be helpful. You can find it easily if you google it, I can't remember the page.

terzer Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 The problem was the shadow casting light count. Now when I left 4, they appear properly. Thanks! One more question:Now I'm working on the exterior. I made a very beautiful night scene (torches, lights...), but they shine also in the day. Can I make them to work only at night time?
