I assume the func_illusionary infestation thingy is being lit up by the lights around it...is there any way to stop it looking...well...awful...? I was just testing the idea, and wondered whether you can make it stay dark or something...set it so the lights have no effect, possibly? I dunno, mebbe someone else does <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

Ty in advance.

other than the -maxlight compile setting (which will affect the lighting of every surface) and some crazy settings cagey has in his compile tools (which are, to my knowledge, a long long way from release) there's nothing I know of that can help you and keep your design as is.

You may want to consider remodeling that into a vertex-manipulated pile of junk that crawls halfway up the wall and hangs some from the ceiling. It's more difficult, but you're going to need to learn this stuff sometime. Search this forum for vertex manipulation and you should find some good tutorials on that.

Don't use "solid" render mode, use texture.

I think you have it backwards; when I use solid it is not fullbright, but when I use texture it is.

I'm pretty sure that's actually being rendered fullbright -- what are the settings on the entity?

Confused

lordy: the reason the blue comes up is because some of teh textures in the ns wad are bugged.
i think i had to do wiht not having a "{" at the beginning of the texture name. thie menas the engine
won't remove the blue parts. you can get tehm to wrok by copying tehm into a sprated wad and
adding the { to the texture name. in that case it would be good to wad include the texture.
let me know it thats un clear
