Ok , I have a slight problem with an entity. I have it in a fairly dark place but it glows fullbright. Now I have a standing version of this same entity in similar conditions but no fullbright. How do I loose the fullbright? When I test it's fine, but when I compile a game is when it makes this display.Here is a pic to see what I mean.

It must be relative to the lighting--when you don't use pixel shaders, the shade of the entire texture alters slightly in varying light.

Check other (preferably stock) characters in that same area. Do they also do that? It could be that some stray light (such as lights on the other side of a wall) is blocking the view of light on the segments, but not doing so on that entity.

Alternatively, because it's custom, it may be that there's a command in the FPE that handles the "lighting" of those entities.

@Bloodeath 6 6 6 - lol,thanks

@Supah Gamer -yes it is custom, I made the weapon.

@Jiffy - I'll give a stock enemy a try and see what happens. But like i said it's only when I compile, when I test it's fine. And no other light sources on the other side; it's a very dark game.

Well, I found out it's not the model, it's that area for some reason.In my search for this I found out something intresting also. When an enemy model is placed in a specific lighting, that is the lightness/darkness it will remain even if moveing into brighter lights. odd. I guess I just wont put anything there. Thanks for your suggestions guys.

thats due to static lighting, tun it on, to dynamic, i can see why its working in your tests, you probably have dynamic lighting set on in your preferences, but not your build game settings
