using models as walls - lighting problem

Sooo i need a little help...if I import a model from 3dsmax etc everything is fine EXCEPT THE LIGHTS.

Why are the models (the walls) are always BRIGHTER than the level blocks etc..??




Also why is light here when I turned off ALL lights even sun light???





I just dont understand how this lighting engine works in 3dgs. I checked the manual but there are very little info about that.

I dont want to use simple wed blocks all the time as level geometry -.-"

I want to create the walls/rooms in 3dsmax etc and than import the whole thing in WED.

But why are the models always brighter, and if i place a light in the room these "model walls" why dont affected by the light, why only the floor (which is a level block)???



Please HELP me to understand 3dgs lighting engine better. THANX!

EDIT: Didnt see the "Warez Kiddie".

Thanks for your help...JERK.

You really want help from us while using a cracked version and insulting us?

@Norby: In case you are using a cracked version. Go to the downloadpage and try the free version. Cracked gamestudio versions often show strange/odd behaviour, as they often use outdated betabuilds for the crack.

You should use a legal version anyway, with the free version, there is no reason for a starter to go to the drakside

1. I never ever said I use a warez version -.-"....Some guy back than asked what version I use...i said A7 pro...than he said yoooo warez kiddie..you're only beginner and this software is too expensive blablablaa....next time I logged in I saw that warez kiddie bulls*hit....and I was "What the heck is wrong with these guys??" -.-"

2. I tried many cracked versions ages ago yes..but i realised that they all lack some functions...so i bought a original one..AFTER THAT I registrated here lol...and all the retards here are keep telling me I use warez just because I bought A7 pro...If I once buy someting I will buy the best version available not some random buggy previous versions...

3. The sad thing is I realised that A7 pro is till buggy lol...nevermind...

4. Dont post here if cant help dude...i dont want to read random jerks crying about how better they are cause they have enough money and bought the original version and other people dont...I have money too but I have no problem with warez users...I like warez too..but as I said I had to buy the A7 pro original version cause the bugs..SO shut...the ...f*ck....upppp

what version of A7 Pro?
perhaps you didn't make the last updates or so..

Version: 7.8

Anyway it shouldnt be any difference if i use 3dsmax meshes as walls, or wed blocks (considering the lights)?

there is a difference between models and level blocks
try to import your level into med and not using a model and you will be fine

Why dont the model walls affected by the lights properly? Why only the level blocks?



EDIT: I solved one problem - the sunlight

I put this in the code: sun_light = 0; And it works.

Just didnt understand why dont turn it off automatically, when i set everytinhg to zero in WED. But in wed its only the Sun's color I changed not the power of it....

because models need dynamic lights for beeing affected, level blocks get precalculated lights (static ones with a high resulution, but "no" speed impacts)

Uhh thanks for the info!


So its better if I use level blocks as walls? Or how do you make your levels?

so what exactly are you using right NOW in this moment? A7 Pro or A8 Free or what?

i don't make levels
i let others make me models ^^

no, just kidding
i'm a really bad mapper/modeler, so i mostly convert levels from other games
but i'm using models imported as level blocks (Just look at File->Import->...)
So you get a detailed level made with whatever but also with gamestudio lightmaps and so on...

"but i'm using models imported as level blocks (Just look at File->Import->...)"


Do you mean to import 3dsmax objects to MED and than u save it as MDL files? OR how do you do that models behave as level blocks (and can also affected by static lights etc)?

sure, a Guy who OWNS GameStudio Pro (What ever Version) AND 3dsMax (~3500$) would ask a question like that! Come on guys!

Chris go trolling somewhere else! As u see there are not just jerks as you, some people like MasterQ32 are trying to help! And I really appreciate that!

Confess and we will help you.
Keep going like you do and i will troll you for the rest of my life!

Norby, stop insulting other forum members.
You have proven that you are using a warez version and have no evidence to prove us wrong.

Consider this as a warning.

Where is your evidence that I'm using a warez version?

1. admited to use Warez (before)
2. support warez users (with your words: "I like Warez")
3. spend around 4200 bucks on something you have almost no idea and have to ask the simplest question here.
4. your attitude
5. your attitude
6. your attitude
7. said you bought (updated to) A7.6 Pro I believe in a time of A8!

@Norby: if you're using a paid version now, contact JCL. He might help you getting rid of "Warez kiddie"(by providing name and password, but ask JCL first if and how you can prove your license before sending data through the web )

"1. admited to use Warez (before)
2. support warez users (with your words: "I like Warez")"


Admitted to use warez before, and support warez users doesnt mean I use 3dgs warez version NOW. simple logic fail...


"3. spend around 4200 bucks on something you have almost no idea and have to ask the simpliest question here."


My question was clear dude..take a second look.


"7. said you updated to A7.6 Pro I believe in a time of A8!"


Dude I said AGES AGO...back than A7.8 pro was the best..A8 was non existent...simple logic fail again



"4. your attitude"

You are attacking over again and again without any evidense. What are you expect?


.......


Anyway both problem solved!!


THANK YOU VERY MUCH MASTERQ32!!!! I never noticed that I can import a mesh in WED too not just MED. Thanks again. Everything is working now!


Chris and badass moderators can go to hell bye....

been there, done that. Your turn now!

LOL!!!
big logical FAIL yourself JERK:
