badspot y u no increase render distance of lights???

Plexious:
The problem is that we're using OpenGL lighting which is slow and inefficient. The best solution would be to use a different lighting method all together.
Aide33:
Couldn't you edit the glsl shader file once to have more?

I remember someone bringing this up once

Would this mean less stufftier shadows?

And better performance, most likely.

You guys need to realize Badspot knows what he's doing, he wouldn't have used GLSL if he knew another method would perform in a better way.  Switching our lighting would literally just be going back and redoing something that was done right the first time, not being able to render more than 8 lights at a time isn't a huge deal unless you're playing a large city map or something.

My only question is, if the sun flare doesn't count as a light then why can't we create the same light on bricks, therefore avoiding the limit?
