negative light still works (Community)
negative light still works // Communitysw comitMar 17, 2001, 3:09am
I've discovered a way to make negative light, about 2 weeks ago. I've only
told a few people about this because I figured it's probably a bug, and Roland wouldn't it to spread around. As some of you may know, we can't use negative light because the RWX in the coming AW 3.2 won't support it, so negative light would be a waste of time. I'm tired of waiting for Roland's response towards this issue so I guess it's OK by him. Here it is: create light brightness=10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 give or take a few zeros. When the brightness is too high, you get black light. It's only one shade of darkness, but it's better than nothing.

Note that RWX was removed from AW3; you mean RW 3.1. sw comitMar 19, 2001, 12:25am
yoohoo?? Negative light here, I thought you guys would be pretty
interested... -- SW Comit swcomit at swcity.net Mayor of SW City http://www.swcity.net President of Community Linkage Commission http://comlinkage.tripod.com eepMar 19, 2001, 1:02am
<shrug> Won't work in RW 3.1 anyway...

What won't? The dark light works, I've tried it.

"<shrug> Won't work in RW 3.1 anyway..."
Ugh what are you talking about? I read everything in this thread. Won't work, being negative light...RW in 3.1 being objects... When I say negative light, I don't mean -####, I mean the black like that gets put out when you add too many digits to brightness... Btw, what did the X stand for in RWX? I thought it was just a placeholder for render ware. -- SW Comit swcomit at swcity.net Mayor of SW City http://www.swcity.net President of Community Linkage Commission http://comlinkage.tripod.com <shrug> Won't work in RW 3.1 anyway... imagineMar 19, 2001, 2:26pm
In case your response was meant for me. This command works for me, create
light brightness=10000000000000000000000000000000000000000 It adds the black light to my objects. I did read this post old man, and I thought the point of the original post was that this command works to add the black light. Ok, maybe the negative light was omitted from 3.1 and the command is a bug so you can't officially call it a negative light command, but it works to give the same effect. Am I misunderstanding the point of the original post? Imagine [View Quote] mauzMar 19, 2001, 2:36pm

See Bug #50 reported 3/5/01: "Extremely large values for the brightness= argument of the light command can still wind up creating a negative light." Roland has already fixed it for the next build. Negative light was removed from 3.1 because the new version of RenderWare, which will be used in AW 3.2, won't support it anyway. -- Mauz http://tnlc.com/mauz/ imagineMar 19, 2001, 2:42pm
Well darn, I kind of liked the shadow effect I got from it. I only tried it
on one object to see what would happen. Oh well just something cool to live without I guess :) Imagine [View Quote] eepMar 19, 2001, 6:23pm
Um, did I REPLY to your post, Imagine? No. I replied to SW Comit's post. Hence, I'm not talking to you. You seem to be as dense as SW Comit is...

Um, do you know what RW is, newbie? Note that it's not the same as AW. Come on...you can do it, champ...put 2 and 2 together... You're skirting DANGEROUSLY close to being shoved back into my filter again...evolve please. > Btw, what did the X stand for in RWX?

Are you sure you weren't Darwin in a past life and are seeing that you were wrong about evolution? Perhaps when life reaches a certain stage of structured living, it becomes continually harder to adapt to changes and therefore evolve. wingMar 19, 2001, 6:46pm
Makes you think... Did they find a way to support negative lighting for the
CONSOLE Renderware? Naturally. Did they for the much more powerful and yet severely neglected PC Renderware? You should know the answer. [View Quote] eepMar 19, 2001, 9:17pm

AW 3.0 and AW 3.1 both run on RW 3.0 which supports negative lighting.
AW 3.2 will run on RW 3.1 which doesn't. eep... not everyone knows that and it's not documented, you could have told him :P Fox Mc Cloud "sw comit" <swcomit at swcity.net> a écrit dans le message news: 3ab69d4e$1 at server1.Activeworlds.com... > lmao, "newbie", that's a good one.

I already knew that and I said that...perhaps I worded it strangely.

Hehehee... Same thing here but for a different command.
While playing with the Create Rotate command on Broadway World and getting OneSummer tottaly worked up about it too [Didn't mean to... BUT that is the way things happen] I found the wrong command does 2 things. create rotate 99999999999999999999 or so 9's will make some object go Solid Off AND Invisible i too didn't tell anyone because... Who is going to believe me. I'm not one of the Browser's beta testers... BUT that is what i found out...

Hence why you're a twit (who STILL hasn't learned how to quote yet). Back into the filter you go!

Don't change the subject unless you keep the old one in it like "was (old subject)". Mauz just reported the high rotate value non-solidity bug in the beta newsgroup.
