Hi All,

A nice subtle lens flare, because there isn't enough of them already .

Thanks very much, have been looking for this for quite a while - I'd like to use this in my game if that is OK?

ps. Works in DBC too, just add wrapvalues to the mouselook line and rem out the lighting commands at the beginning

Nice, how'd you get the flare textures to come out so well (the gradient transparency thing), ghost object?

Thanks guys, feel free to use it as you see fit.

It uses FADE OBJECT to fade the effect out when it's near the edges of the screen, better than just hiding them. In Patch5, I reckon there's a couple of problems, so I suggest changing it so each lens is a tiny amount different on the Z positioning, like .01 or something, because they seem to overlap now and interfere, probably Lees new alpha commands would work better than fade object.

I noticed something - when you point the camera at the sun, and then keep on moving the mouse up, the sunflare still stays on the screen, even when you are not facing it...
