Hello to everyone! I am new to this forum, and pretty much just getting into 3d modeling and having a lot of fun doing it.. anyway.. i have a good level coming along, but one thing is troubling me, my weapon pickups are to bright for my dark game (see my screenshot)..
I'm pretty sure this can be set by a condition statement in the weapons .fpi file? I have been through the manual, searching the forums and google for some time now to no avail.. anybody know off the top of their head?

Thanks,
mAc

well, see if dynamic lighting is turned on. I never really knew a weapon had a brightness level...oh well.

or maybe im way off base but do you actually have to edit the model in a 3d program or something? I was just thinking since you can have weapons glow with script, you could lower the brightness

It's the way the engine calculates how to shade the dynamic entity with the static lighting that that scene has...that's the problem.

...I've been bothered by this, too. Since we're at the mercy of the engine itself, would it be possible to just do a very flat (low contrast with colors muted) retexture of the pickup?

...maybe create an alternate texture and access it through the entity's properties? I dunno...

I think that would work to a degree.
