Got 2 problems ( 1-dlights 2-rain)

(RivrStyx) #1

  1. I put a dlight in one room to test something out … compiled map and its showing the stylestring effect through the whole map. Any ideas why its showing throughout the whole map and not just the one room i put it in?

  2. I entered atmosphere in worldspawn as key and all the T-Rain…etc stuff as value seperated by a comma and all that. I see no rain. I even tried copying radars key and values exactly just to see if it worked and go from there but nothing. Am i missing something? And yes i have atmosphericeffects enable…lol

thx in advance

Haven’t messed with dlights in ET, but for the rain, have you generated a tracemap yet? It’s needed for the atmospheric effects to work.

Directional dlights light up the entire world when visible. They work best on well-vised maps, using vis dummy entities.

Oh the trace map is needed… didn’t know that. Haven’t got around to that yet. Thx for the info Chavo.

One down one to go.

Just need to know whats up with the Dlight problem

Posted at same time ydnar. Thx. So the dlight entity can work in one room? Is it because i added an angle to it? Its placed inside of one room… i spawn outside of the building and see everything flickering. Let me ponder what you said for a bit.

Ok i pondered and think i know what your saying…lol. Will check it out when i get home. thx
