Author Topic: I think its time that Blockland gets Shadows.  (Read 1636 times)

When I say this I'm not talking about player shadows... I mean an entire lighting system that you can enable/disable. Maybe have options such as...

But before I get into detail, I mean a system where a black room can be made by making a box, and Light will leave colored shadows glass. And if there is a hole light will come in.

High: As real as it gets. Glass Shadows Colored. All shadows are made by the model of vehicles and players.

Medium: All bricks display shadows. Glass will not display colored shadows.

Low: All bricks display shadows. Black rooms remain black.

If you have any questions lemmie know

If we do this it will lag.

Thats why you have options to lower your graphics. Just like phsics, Just you can't fully turn off the new system because it would cause players to not see the pitch black area and give them an advantage xD

~260000 bricks + shadow = bye bye computer

I think it's possible to do it without lag, if we could somehow come up with a way...

If you need to make a black box, use the anti-lights. Otherwise, this is pretty useless.

why L? for me that's to shift my ghost brick to the right

I have no quote, but I believe badspot said it would be imppossible to redraw the shadows for EVERY brick every second and such.



But why not only when bricks are chaged?

Smart Dynamic lighting doesn't come very easily in Torque. Almost to the point of impossibility.

LISTEN CLOSELY

SOME SHADOWS HAVE WEAKNESSES, BUT THEY NEVER MAKE ANY SENSE

SO JUST GUESS UNTIL YOU GET IT RIGHT!
