MasterRahl Report post Posted December 10, 2004 I really enjoy this game, and the idea of extended night and day in the game is a good one. But I think that there should also be some lighting objects available to the player, like torches or light spells. Otherwise it is just like playing on a plain black screen, which is not all that fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazor Report post Posted December 10, 2004 (edited) http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/index.php?showforum=5 ^is probably the section you were looking for, scroll down a ways on the main forum page and you'll find it. :-P And for the subject; if I recall correctly, the idea of torches and lanterns was shot down because it'd be too much strain on the system to make moving light sources.

Phenic Report post Posted December 10, 2004 If the lightsources can't be portable, then encorporate bushes as lightsources. I don't mean have a glowing bush, but infest it with fireflies (the flies themselves could have a glow similar to magic weapons, green/offyellow). Basically, the lightsource would be in the object the fireflies infest, and the flies themselves would be to er.. make it so it wasn't an unnaturally glowing bush.. Quartz crystals already have a similar effect, but this would help in areas without quartz.. Strategically placing these around the map would help a lot of players, and of course some areas could be left for natural darkness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Learner Report post Posted December 10, 2004 As you pointed out, there are some fixed light sources, others are being worked on. One issue is that there is a limit on how many OpenGL can handle at one time in an area as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aitrus Report post Posted December 10, 2004 >.> i really think just have the gemmed stafs have a light source, not everyone would use them and it would be handy...and look cool Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeone3000 Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Quick fix: Turn up brightness and contrast to maximum. Enchanted swords give off light, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hazor Report post Posted December 11, 2004 Quick fix: Turn up brightness and contrast to maximum. Enchanted swords give off light, right? They "glow", but don't emit light. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Entropy Report post Posted December 12, 2004 Can't have that, the reason is that there is an issue with more than 8 lights present in the same scene. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
