No LenseFlares and Dynamic Lightning

[Tormentor667]

I have the latest ZDoomGL but "No LenseFlares and Dynamic Lightning" :( I also can't find a menu where to configure the settings for this like in JDoom :(

Do you mean there isn't any lens flare and dynamic lighting, or that you want to switch it off?

[Tormentor667]

There is no :(

That's cause the latest ZDoomGL isn't finished, you'll just have to wait like the rest of us :)

Although lens flare can be pretty, it is also silly in most games because the player isn't supposed to be wearing anything over his/her eyes that would cause a lense flare effect. Of course, the Doom guy has a visor (at least in the Doom1 title and the player sprite) that could just about cause that kind of effect so, flare away. :-) (just no so big that it gets in the way please)

Don't forget Gordon Freeman's glasses! :)

Yeah, but Half-Life does not have any lensflare effects, does it? :)

Heh, then I guess Mr Freeman is a dab hand with the old lens cloth. :-)

Lens flare effects look cool when used properly. Serious Sam is a great example.
