Im guessing it may be done using textures with transparency but that does not explain how the glare on Mine Light 7 (I think) becomes larger with glare from further distance.. goober   Posted 21st Nov 2005 10:37am L4Y Member Post 961 / 265 i think your talking about beam light 2... but in any case ive heard people talking about this, and i dont know what to tell you..

Yes it appears to be setting in there.. There are a couple of things which could affect it. Try anything with "glare" in it.

It's only possible to modify them by using a mod. You were talking about 3dsmax, so I guess you probably want to know how to apply those corona effects to a custom mesh? This can be done by adding a dummy helper to the mesh called "corona_1" , "corona_2" (if I remember right, I'll check later) Now in clutter.tbl you've got to tell the game which glare effects shall be used at the dummies postitions. If you want to know what objects have been used in the meshes, just open a v3m mesh with the Windows Notepad. Then search for .tga for example and you'll find the used textures, or search for the dummies which are usually on the bottom lines. Most of the code is unreadable of course. ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.
