Dynamic Lighting

[JamesCraftStudios]

Hey, I think that this game Desperately needs new lighting. Minecraft type of lighting for example. This way if someone made a cave or something, they can hide and ambush other players or something. Maybe you could also add some type of placeable light source or light blocks or something like that.

I guess we are going to have it for the OpenGL version.

Speaking of that, how do you get OpenGL for Ace of Spades? I really really want it.

It is a WIP, not ready for release.

so you want to make tunnels even darker?...

They are only dark deep down near the bedrock level, near the surface they do not even look like tunnels.

[Fluttershy]

Thats the thing, on gen maps and such tunnels can get annoyingly dark, this suggestion would make ALL tunnels, ALL buildings needlessly darker, thatd be fucking annoying.

[JamesCraftStudios]

Well he could make some type of light source.. idk.. just a suggestion.

[nubgamer]

I like dark tunnels.

[DarkDXZ]

I'd prefer something to be extremely dark than unrealistically bright.
Not like I demand realism in AoS, but proper lighting system for all your ninja deucing purposes would be neat.

Yeah, I remember how someone made a thread like this and you put up a neat little diagram on how the lighting would get mucked up.
So I agree with Fluttershy on this one.

i would deeply enjoy if light couldnt go through 10 or so layers of blocks before its blocked out. the real problem with the current engine is that it only calculates shadows, and the way that shadows work with this engine is that they accumulate based on how many blocks there are in between the "light source" and the ground (really just other blocks that add the the shadow, as well as display it) and width. makes for lighting that goes through walls. So for the normal client, this is unfixable (i think, unless the engine is open source).

Or at least thats what it looks like is happening in game. i may be wrong.
