Ns_lost Style Lights?

Lazer

<div class="IPBDescription">Those little blue ones...</div> I've got a part in my map with the texture that has the little blue lites among some pipes/wires. I was trying to make just those little blue spots shine bluish, but I'm not sure what values to put into a light_spot (if thats what im supposed to use) to make it look the way the ones do in ns_lost. Any suggestions?

Ollj

small values?

Shadowics

Maybe you could post a screenshot of the effect you're talking about in ns_lost.

I think what he's trying to say is that he doesnt want the entire texture to give off blue light, just the part that would give out light IRL.

Thaldarin

He means the little round glowing sprites on the wall

try texturelighting it.

These kinds of lights. (The little blue ones)

Those are probably just point lights, brightness of about 20 i'd guess. 49 164 249 20 should do the the trick.

Yea, either that or texturelights...

That completely blue texture made func_illusionary assigned with blue light in the light.rad file and then placed on the walls, but pointlight is prolly easier.

Ollj

It looks like classic small RAD point lights and i dont think he placed func_illusionarys all over

They're blue env_glow ents with small blue light ents colocated. Or, at least, that's how I did it on an identical section of wall in a map of mine...

That would look nice, if you only have a few of those lights. But if you are going to put as many as on ns_lost it wouldn't be a good idea. On ns_lost, the effect is subtley acheived by using small blue point lights just above the blue spots on the actual texture.

You can see the same lights on ns_hydrosity (popular lighting choice it seems). I just used point lights with a brightness of 50 and RGB of 128 255 255.

Plaguebearer

What can I say? I like env_glow...

Greedo

Yah, I just used point lights about 4 (I think) units away from the wall with brightness values of 20 or so for that effect.

Gordon

That certainly gives a nice effect, I'll have to try it out.
