I'm making a solar system spaceship game, and I just want one light source, the sun. I've got that working, and the planet and moon are lit nicely from the sun. However the dark side of the planets isn't very dark...it's almost like there's an ambient light on that I need to turn off somehow...

Anyways, here's a picture.

As you can see, the dark side of the moon is kind of dark, but I want it to be totally black, invisible if you will! How can I go about doing this?

If the 3D map already has lighting in it, use

where iObject is the map. If the map is split up (eg. earth.3ds, sun.3ds etc) then use

where iPercentage is the percent. 0 means no ambient light.

OR, you could use both (If you can.)

dbPrint ( "Sig" );
