True dark areas

(joan_of_clark) #1

it seems as though a true dark area can be made in a map but the player models dont reflect this. why is this? can it be fixed or worked around? im mappin for q3.

if you make a small 1 room map w/ no light…then goto 3rdperson view, youll see the player model is always lit even in true darkness. this isnt right. is there a work-around etc…

There is a min light applied to players and other dynamically lit entities in Quake 3. There’s no workaround, I’m afraid.

ICARUS scripting for JO was supposed to let you change that, but it never seemed to work. :frowning: Maybe it works in JA. But it could be another minimum light value for entities. Or something.
