Title: [QUESTION] Texture bug.
Post by: Harky on December 20, 2016, 10:23:03 pm

Hi
We're trying to make our custom village "darker" (photo included). LightIntBand.dbc seems to be working fine but light is refracting on the edges of ADT. Other words - it's just "cut" in sharp ends. Is it possible to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

I have the same issue and tried several times to understand why and how this bug was occuring, but I found nothing really useful.

Everything I know so far is that this "cut" of the light seem to be occuring way more frequently on custom ADT than Blizzard's ones and if you increase the Z axis of the light, the cut seem to - more on Blizzard ADT than custom one - be occuring only on the edge of your line of sight.

Still don't know why and how, I bet it's something related in the shaders, You could take a look at the flare (the hunter's spell) and look how it react, I never tried this guy on dark nights.


btw : you added light on your lampost m2 right ?

Hope it helps.

Thanks,
Yes, we added some lights to lamposts, cause lampost have no default light.

1. sadly, not just around ADT borders, it happens around chunk borders.
2. there is no solution for this, at least no I am aware of.
3. this is one of the main reasons why those oh-so-awesome "realistic" night patches were actually never implemented on most of projects before.
