[Forum Rules]   Back to Forum Thread List Chaosrain112   Posted 31st May 2007 1:32am L4Y Member Post 21 / 22 I decided to put DM- Debris on hold, and started on DM- Dropout yesterday. I'm pretty far into it, and now I'm working on lighting for lift shafts. And something goes wrong when I think I place too many lights; purple floors. Yeah, lame. It's only the top floor of the map, the bottom texture(floor). As you can see here, I have a well light "shaft" for a lift in my map. And here, upon looking at the second floor... it's purple. I really think it may have something to do with the amount of lights in a map(I have quite a few), or the spacing between lights. Has anyone run into this problem before/know how to fix it? I don't want purple floors... It doesn't match the map. Previously joined as TRiGGeR HApPy, in 2004. I'm back!!! My previous mapping work: Chaos Mapping Inc. NEW MAPS!

If your light lumenscent circle is tangent or intersecting your face from an edge view of the face ... it counts ... jan_the_mean   Posted 31st May 2007 1:45am L4Y Member Post 68 / 153 Yeah that's ashame: Whenever there are to many lights this thing happens. Try to reduce the range of some lights in a way that they do not touch your ground floor. I am sure there are some lights (which you might use as ambient lights) that touch the groundfloor unnessaraly. I had the problem as well - I started to delete and reduce the range light by light until it worked again. Only lights that touched the bottom air brush seemed to be affected by this... find my maps here: http://redfaction.levels4you.com/downloads.l4y?cat=search&author=Jan%20Radt     crazyjack1994   Posted 31st May 2007 1:47am L4Y Member Post 80 / 483 Purple floor sounds wicked but try and work around it for now until you have spare time to take lights away if possible GL RED-FROG   Posted 31st May 2007 1:49am L4Y Resident Post 1567 / 5258 The other problem is, you aren't using RED optimized Purple rain, purple rain..on the floor of my map.. ¤ MARS WARS 3! - Red Faction revamped on the unreal engine.

So that instead of 1 big face.. Having 6 faces.. Then It should fix the problem.. Portals can also help fix them.. or less lights..    Modified May 31st, 02:36am by Ninja~ Assman15    Posted 31st May 2007 2:44am Post 377 / 2085 Split your floor into more faces and add more portals, this should (doesn't always work) fix your problem. RED-FROG's plug is something you should consider too, use his version of RED, it's superior to the default program.

Reducing the range of your lights away from the purple floor is a good thing. Splitting faces and portals would also help. I have suffered in real life for the past couple years, now its your turn!     Chaosrain112   Posted 31st May 2007 1:50pm L4Y Member Post 22 / 22 Sounds like I've got some work to do, thanks guys. ... And it looked so good as it was... Oh, if I were to download RF's version of RED and load up my map, would this error still occur? Previously joined as TRiGGeR HApPy, in 2004. I'm back!!!

It's almost the same lighting but a single tube light covers a much larger area than omnidirectional lighting and allows you to achieve the same lighting with fewer light objects. My YouTube
