Light volume resizing bug


Recommended Posts

@greebo: I am sure it could be considered as a feature, not a bug, but due to different lighting techniques I feel like it would be beneficial to fix it (if it's an easy fix).

 

Basically, when I rotate light volume around Y or X axis, I not longer can resize it. Or rather, if I drag the sides, it's being resized in unexpected manner (I can record video explaining what's happening after work).

 

Is it possible to make rotated light volume to be resized as if it's normal light volume?

I've noticed that, too. If you rotate it by 90 degrees, it will expand in the y-direction if you drag it at the x-axis and vice versa.

Thanks for reporting this. I fought with this same thing, working on my first mission. I was too ignorant to realize that, this is wrong. I now know that this whole thing is a work in progress.

The more lights that are present in a map a lag starts to take place whenever you move a light, with a lot of lights in a map this lag can stretch into seconds.

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

That never happened to me so far, probably because I'm not working on full-size maps most of the time. It's possible that DR's light interaction design causes lags when changing lights or a lot of primitives at the same time, but that is not something that is fixed easily. There are ideas to change it, but no actual steps have been taken so far to refactor this system.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
