Lighting

[Raz_Specter]

Hi Chaps, Well I am at a point were i need to do the lights on the landing decks along with the lights on the Alligator 1171 ship.

 

Not sure where to start to be honest.

 

I have modelled the lights and given them a basic texture, applied a Alpha to the light part but how do you get the lights to no look like a model and light up in the game?

 

Any help would be appreciated

 

Many thanks

Hi All

 

This is what i have tried so far:

 

1. created a rectangle in Max, positioned it around the light, setup a material with an already made texture "lz-light-bano-green.tga"

a) set the the material to bano (ED make cool section) added TYPE="bano"; to the object attributes and set the mode to blend

b) When trying to export i get the following error message

 

Error: Unknown node type: bano.. Node: Rectangle001.	File: .build\x86_64\vc120.release\Utils\NGModel_MaxPlugins\2014\Exporter\EDModelExporter.cpp:553.

 

2. Same as above but removed the object properties and also removed blend (so the object has no properties (this exports fine) but no light in the Sim

 

So I am a little confused how to move forward with this as there are no guides to making lights in DCS

 

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be much appreciated

 

Thanks Specter

Use Standard Omni and Target Spot Lights in Max.
