[r129] Dynamic lights invisible on level start

YouTube · Post by **Nash** » Sun Jun 29, 2008 17:32

Things with dynamic lights (like torches and candles) don't draw their dynamic lights properly until the player fires his weapon.

An easy way to try this is Doom 2 MAP25. The candles will only light up when you fire your pistol.

Tested with lights.wad autoloaded; lights.wad taken from the SVN which was built from the lights project in gzdoom.sln.

The lights project from the SVN actually results in lights.pk3.

But yeah, it does happen.

Oops, typo. I still work with the WAD format even to this day and it's just stuck in my mindset...

(So yeah, I really meant lights.pk3, not .wad)

Yup, you can see it right at the start point on map01 if you have a dynamic light attached to the armour helmets. No light when you start. Fire the pistol and the light appears.

Not too much of a surprise, I guess, seeing as how the thread hasn't been moved, but, to confirm, this still happens in r131.

fixed. Actually, this was a very old bug that just got un-hidden by an optimization I recently added to speed up rendering on large maps without any lights present.
