FNV trailer homes appear transparent to sunlight

[oldman42]

Hi,

 

I noticed that the interior walls of the trailer homes appear to reflect sunlight as if they were exterior walls.

 

For an example, find a trailer with an east facing wall at 9 in the morning - there is one in Goodsprings. The exterior east facing wall will be facing the sun and will be bright yellow and a bit harsh on the eyes. Go inside the trailer and the interior east facing wall will also be bright yellow and a bit harsh on the eyes.

 

Why do the trailer walls not cast shadows? Is this something that could be changed so that a trailer's interior illumination is solely from light through the door and windows?

 

(I have a trailer home mod and I would like to rid the mod of this interior reflection.)

 

** EDIT **

I just noticed the "reflection" is there at 7am as well, when there is a wooden building between the sun and the trailer. Obviously, I asked the wrong question. I am going to research this and probably ask more questions in another post.

i.e.

What in any given texture produces the illusion of reflected sunlight in the Fallout game engine?

Why don't I perceive this reflection in (for example) wood textures?

Can I change the interior portion a trailer's texture to not "reflect", while leaving the exterior portion of the texture untouched?

Can I do this in gimp?

etc.

** END EDIT **

 

Thanks!
