doomerdaze Posted April 25, 2020 Hey Guys, How are all, hope all is well, staying safe .... I put together a little video on just a few of my crazy light(s) in Doom2 using various things (lights) by default given by the editor and some I made using Dynamic Lights, Some using Sector and Transfer Floor Brightness using a dummy sector. I would like to know how you guys use lights when lighting your levels using some are all of the above mentioned or something different post your comments and suggestions here and maybe give some really nice example(s) we all can share as well. Also put the wad here as well it is built on GZDoom Builder (bugfix) R3107 64-bit found here https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdbbf/ UDMF Format, running on the latest SVN build of GZDoom found here https://devbuilds.drdteam.org/gzdoom/ Your game may not look like mine, However I do run mods on top of my DooM2 yours may vary like Hi-Rez Texture packs and others. I mostly map in UDMF format bit more freedom on creation. The Video is on my google drive sorry for the size of file but was as small as I could get it. It was just to try and explain how and what I did to the lights etc... Here is .wad file: Doom2 Light Testing by_dOOmERdaZE.rar However I am sure there are many different ways to create lights. These are just a few of mine. :) Lighting a level nice is rather hard to do IMO Lighting can make or break a level also IMO Enjoy! More stuff to come later. :) Here is video: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1vu2KqU8DAuT0Sq44RL8ihml9VmzZNRxH/view?usp=sharing Thanks Guys, dOOmERdaZE ..... peace ..... stay safe! 0 Share this post Link to post
Kappes Buur Posted April 25, 2020 (edited) You seem to have lighting pretty well covered. I use mainly dynamic lights. From time to time, for my own amusement, I spruce up existing pwads, for example in MAP23 of Paranoiac by Rex Spoiler I can't add much: For sector based lighting try out boris's Lighting Mode plugin for GZDoom Builder. For glowing eyes use brightmaps. Edited April 25, 2020 by Kappes Buur 1 Share this post Link to post
doomerdaze Posted April 25, 2020 Thanks guys for the feedback looked in on the brightmaps might be a bit over me but may take some work. :) well I suppose if it is not to complex of lighting etc ... most should be able to play my levels when done (WIP) :) maybe someone could create the glowing eyes etc .. :) or maybe has been done kinda cool effect. in my plugins folder do not see a Lighting Mode plugin? 32-bit only and is somewhat old is there a 64bit already compiled to use maybe? 0 Share this post Link to post
