Versus
Personally, the fact that the apples are edible makes them more attractive, but the windows also have a nice shine to them. Which one do you prefer?

I made a thread just like this a few weeks ago, but this needs to be made already. It doesn't need a beam, it just needs to light the spot that it is pointed at.

SECOND TIME TODAY. (First time it was written on the board in history class >:O)
Anyway, dragging the folder you get from the zip into the add-ons folder works. So don't worry about it.

I just think that when the players, vehicles, and interiors are invisible in the dark, then it only makes things work when bricks act the same as well. But this is really just personal opinion like you said. It works for me because I almost always build in the dark.

they reflect because they face the light in those cases

This is what was annoying me, you would see a mess of white lines instead of real pitch-black darkness.

General Discussion / Fixing the brick textures.
« on: November 03, 2009, 01:24:33 AM »
What has been bothering me for quite a while was the fact that the textures that the bricks use are still visible in the dark. In pitch-black darkness, you still see the white parts of the textures. I fixed this recently, and to say the least, it works very well.
Below are two examples of the changes I made. Notice how the textures are actually fade into the darkness completely instead of standing out.
And besides, it makes builds awesomely beautiful.
Now if you want to change the textures, then move the following files that are already in blockland/base/data/shapes to another folder in order to just keep them:
brickBOTTOMEDGE.png
brickBOTTOMLOOP.png
brickRAMP.png
brickSIDE.png
brickTOP.png
Now save these following images to the same directory now that you've safely moved the existing files:

http://img145.imageshack.us/img145/808/brickside.png

After that, it should work. If you're wondering how I got it to work, then allow me to explain. For the simple textures like the studs and sides, I just made all of the white spaces 100% transparent, and made the already 100% transparent spaces a darker shade of black. For the more complicated textures, I mostly just erased the white completely.
A little side effect from this change is that colors in normal light seem to be deeper and more defined, and that's good.I'm even going to go as far as to say that this should be the default texture set just because it makes things look so much more realistic.
Thank you for reading.
