[fixed]Problem with Subtractive lights

I just barely got to fool around with GZDoom the other day, and i realized that adding any sort of subtractive light gave me an entirely blank screen, unless I looked totally away from the affected area. Why is this, and how can I use these lights correctly?

This appears to be a bug. I will have to look into it.

What's "subtractive" lighting?

Post by **Graf Zahl** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 1:44

Light that darkens the surrounding area instead of brightening it.

Same problem here. I get an entirely black screen.

Luckily I have the console command "quit" binded to F12, otherwise it's be a wild guessing game trying to get out of the situation.

Just hit F10, Y. I've been doing that since Vanilla

Or if your F10 key is somehow broken... Escape, Up, Enter, Y.

If your menu cursor is on 'new game'...

The only time these don't work at all is when you make a DECORATE gun lock up ZDoom. Thne you have to kill it with task manager, and without the mouse. o_O

BTW, I think F10 on my keyboard is reserved for expansion of my Co-op chat macros.

Fixed.

And I have to say that subtractive light looks much better than I ever anticipated.
