hi there,

entities using the illumination.fx have strange effects.
please see screenshot.
i simply built a room with 2 lamp entities, one with shader, one without.
the left one is without shaders.
i haven't noticed any problems with segments and shaders.

i'm using only stock media for this test, its fpsc v1.05rc2 with modelpack 4.
System: GeForce 6600 AGP with latest drivers, Window$ XP SP2, AMD64 3200+


does anyone have an idea what the problem could be?

best regards,

yeah ... i found several post with problems.

using bumpcubereflectalpha only makes the entitie-lamps pitch black.
but think i found the solution:

default those lamp-entities are in static mode, switching to dynamic solves this problem.
for static lamps the illuminationmap.fx works perfect for me.

also the default bonewhatever.fx (the default one on characters) makes some strange effects too. using bump.fx for example makes even those looks very good.

best regards,

sure, here it is.

the left one is without shaders.
i think it will look far better after tweaking the normal map.
with the right shaders active, they simply fit better to the levels

btw: sorry for some grammar errors

I also like "bumpcubereflectalpha" on this conker-model. Check it out!
