Hey, I am redoing original building interriors from C%C Maps, with different textures and adding some stuff to it in RenX.
But when i add some lights to it in RenX it won't come back in renegade.
I know how to do it in LevelEdit, but then its not possible to use it client side in a internet game anymore so that is not an option.

So I need to know how I can add lights in RenX which actually come back in game play

You did put the models in your data folder, right?
(We'll start in the obvious places)

Renguard is a wonderful initiative

lol, like someone that models in renx doesn't know that he has to put w3d in his data to make it work Razz

Check my screenshots. 1 in RenX how i want it to look. and then after i save it the second SS is the effect. You can see the different lights aren't there. I made Target Spot lights (Create-> lights -> target spotlight)

I also tried to import lights from the original REF interrior, but if i change that lights nothing happends either.

Well thats what your trying to do, those lights cast shadows in RenX but that same light data does not get saved in a w3d.

Meaning when you put the model in LE, there are no lights from RenX in the model and the only lighting data applied to the model is whats already in LE.

Renegade only does lighting per vertex, so the more vertexes your object has the more realistic you can make the lighting be, and the more laggy the game can play Thumbs Up
