Before anyone here tells me to use DX mode and not openGL, I do use DX mode
:-) my video card supports all 3 video modes I love DX mode, all this is was
a test on OpenGL mode again.

In OpenGL mode all lighting is over bright.
I dont use that mode for that reason.
OpenGL mode seems to amplify the light based on your visibility setting.
All the light looks fine when my visibility is set to 30, but as soon as I
move it up to 60 the lights get so bright it just destroys the whole
lighting effect.
create light color=orange fx=fire
OpenGL at 30 visibility this looks great real light fire flickering orange
light
but that same light command when your visibility is set to 60 you see a way
to bright over powering constant yellow light color over everything around
you.

That's probably because there is a light with a limited range there, and Roland said OpenGL doesn't support the concept of light
range (which isn't true).

probably the guys at Criterion being a bit lazy and not implementing it into
the OGL RW engine, I'd say...

I find that hard to believe considering RW is a 3D engine used in many games
on several different computer platforms and game console platforms!
