    The glowing cysts look pretty nice. Maybe give them a some projected texture variation and bring down the brightness a bit. It would be awesome to be a marine walking into a dark room and see a cyst go down that re-connects 5 more around the place.

    The marine seems a little over-bright as well. Glowing lights on a player need to be more subtle.

    The more dynamic lights in my NS2 the better =D

    I like it! I looked in the Marine.lua on the chestplate code, but I was unable to change the actual color of the light and the radius and otherwise play around with it. Usually when I was editing the emergency light colors, I could change them in real time but it did nothing when I changed the values of this:

    <!--c1--><div class='codetop'>CODE</div><div class='codemain'><!--ec1-->// Create the blue light on the chestpiece
            self.light2 = Client.CreateRenderLight()        
            self.light2:SetType( RenderLight.Type_Point )
            self.light2:SetCastsShadows( false )
            self.light2:SetColor( Color(0.1, 0.75, 1) )
            self.light2:SetIntensity( 3 )
            self.light2:SetRadius( 1.5 )
            self.light2:SetAtmospheric( false )<!--c2--></div><!--ec2-->

    EDIT:

    I guess it does work just doesn't update until game restart. I like this mod and it looks best with the power off lights set to (0, 0, 0) so the whole room stays black. Also the "power link" light that moves from cyst to cyst looks nice.

    The marine playerview is WAY to glowy. Would it be possible to turn your own blue lightsources off (or heavily reduced)?

    Yes, I changed the radius to .5 and intensity to 1:

    Looks less glowy. It's also fun to play with the color:

    I'd change the cyst lights to more of a yellow hue. Otherwise the green tends to make unpowered areas kind of look like NS2 - Christmas addition

    Hope you liked the special Christmas edition. ^^

    The last two shots were made after I mucked around with the colors just for fun.

    I'm hoping to recreate the green color in Corey's concept arts. Unfortunately the current infestation texture is much more yellow looking.

    Heh, yeah. Twas nice to have some holiday festivities in-game. :)

    I was wondering why you went with that color. Basing off those concept pictures makes sense, but I don't think you'll be able to get what you want out of it. Hmm, not sure. Easy enough to test though, should be able to hot-load changes too.

    I like this mod though. Hopefully, UWE can use it once they get to the polish stage(s).

    dude this is awesome!

    Any chance you can make the infestation itself glow a greenish color as well?


    and perhaps the infestation could turn off the map's lights - so that its replacing the electrical map lights with infestations glow.

    You are awesome! Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise!!

    Thank you my friend!! I love this. Also would like to see schkorpio's post implemented:

    <b>and perhaps the infestation could turn off the map's lights - so that its replacing the electrical map lights with infestations glow. </b>

    This is what you call a Game Dynamic, correct?

    Thanks for the encouragement guys! They brought me back to this forgotten mod. I'll update this mod (it shouldn't take long), and try to improve it.

    I suggest a yellowish glow from those cysts.
    Someone else here in the forums did something similar and it looked beautiful! (ill see if i can find it)

    This is something that was originally planned for DI, but replaced by the powernode system (if I'm not mistaken). Infestation is still intended to become more dynamic though, but that's something to do when there's more time, probably post 1.0.

    I love this mod TwiliteBlue, I hope UWE will pick it up in some form - really adds a lot of atmosphere!
