Title: Lighting in FFEdit 2.0
Post by: Grayve on May 05, 2009, 12:32:51 AM
I'm using FFEdit 2.0 as stated above. In all the tutorials I can find they seem to still refer to FFEdit 1.01. I'm trying to figure out how to change the light color and brightness. The tutorials refer to the Rotation section but there is none in 2.0. I tried fiddling with the Parameters and I can get a large area of blue light if I put 255 (which I thought would create a white light?) in all the sections but any other combo doesn't do anything. Is this the correct place to change color or am I way off? What I'm basically trying to do is make an area dark and foreboding with lighting.

Okay...Is this for  :ff: or  :ffvstr: ? please specify.  If it's for  :ffvstr: , you can't change the color or intensity of the lighting with the editor. 

You can in  :ff:

It's :ffvstr:. What other ways are there to change the lighting if not in the editor? I know there are some options in the editor when you edit ingame for adding colored lights but I wanted more variety than that. Thanks!

I know Unkoman had to create light objects for a recent map he made, he copied a  :ffvstr: object and then Skoped it to have a certain colored light attached to it.  It can probably be done with the street light objects in the game too (I'm not sure if that's what he used or not). 

As far as I know, You can only add custom lighting via the Editor in  :ff:, not in  :ffvstr: ...It's one of the things I wasn't very pleased about when I got  :ffvstr: .
