[LE] Looking for a light source to cover a large room - specific

[TheWorldofRipX]

Hey all, Im finishing up The Gemstone Prophecy 3 and have a small issue. i have a large room for a large battle in a cell i created. I want it to be bright so you can see everything, and whether or not its day or night. can someone please suggest a light source from CK that can do this, or the best way TO do this?

 

Thanks all.

Once you place a light source, you can hold S and move the mouse, to expand its reach to the corners of the room, and then CTRL + ALT + S and move the mouse, to make it brighter. Bearing in mind shadow lights will look more realistic but may not perform as well as non-shadow lights, you're probably ok if you're just using one single light source. Try something like a campfire light or farmhouse fireplace light (can't remember how they're spelled out in CK, offhand) and expand the reach and brightness, to see what you think. You can hit the lightbulb icon to dim the creation kit lights, and also the fx button to see how much it will flicker. You can also use the lighting packages or tweak the numeric ambient light settings to allow the room to be brighter, in spite of a smaller light source. I like the alikr warm and orange lights, if I don't want shadow, and the farmhouse fireplace light if I do, but that's all subjective.

You can also do this by not using lights at all, but instead create a trigger box all around your fight scene and apply and "ImageSpace Modifier" that you can create by yourself and give the exact mood and brightness you want.

 

This is a trick a do a lot, and i play with the environmental mood and light fluctuation in all my cells.

Walmart is an interesting dungeon look. You might like something like AzurePureWhite01 for that flourescent light look. Or there's DefaultSunlight01, if you want to put Imperial fort windows on the ceiling and call it prism lighting.

If you don't have, here is a simple script that can help you with what you want:

{Simple script to add/remove ImageSpace Modifier & weather}

 

Import Game

ImageSpaceModifier property iModFX01 auto

Weather Property MyWeather01 auto

 

 

EVENT onTriggerEnter(objectReference actronaut)

      If actronaut == GetPlayer()

         If ( iModFX01 )

              iModFX01.applyCrossFade(2.0)

      EndIf

         If ( MyWeather01 )

              MyWeather01.ForceActive(True)

     EndIf

  EndIf

EndEvent

 

 

EVENT onTriggerLeave(objectReference actronaut)

      If actronaut == GetPlayer()

         If ( iModFX01 )

              ImageSpaceModifier.RemoveCrossFade(2.0)

     EndIf

         If ( MyWeather01 )

              Weather.ReleaseOverride()

     EndIf

  EndIf

EndEvent

Combining 'ImageSpace Modifiers' with 'Lighting Templates' on your 'RoomBound' + Lights + whether, you can create some awesome environmental scenes.

EDIT: give your script a unique name.

Have a happy modding

you need to watch this -> Once you place a light source, you can hold S and move the mouse

Best advice you got here was the 'Lighting Templates
