hey there! i use Matt's Normalmapping Specular shader and it looks great. but my weapon isn't reflecting the light when its firing, nor the other static or dynamic lights. can anyone tell me how to fix this?

greez, dj pint

Did you make your weapon as a view entity? If yes, your lights won´t work on models!

no, i took a model and attachet it with vec_for_vertex to the hand of the player...

the normalmapped models aren't influenced by any light, even the static... this sucks^^

Do you use dynamic lights? Are their lightranges big enaugth? Is the shader properly attached?

es, the lightrange is very big. the arm which is holding the weapon is influenced by the lights (it has o normal mapping) but the weapon itself isn't...
i have the shader from the wiki, maybe there is another one out there?

Yes, use http://www.bcoding.com/NM.zip

I will change the wiki soon.

hwwy, this is great! thanks, bloodline!

hmm, now i recognise, that the models aren't influenced by the sun... the dynamic and static lights work well, but the sun not! even if i change vecSunDiffuse!!!!
sh*****! can u tell me, how i have to change vecSunDiffuse? does the model react more to the sunlight if the value is bigger or smaller? best regards, dj pint

It reacts to [dynamic] sunlight. set the values of vecSunDiffuse between 0 & 1

ex: A red sun would be:
float4 vecSunDiffuse = {1, 0, 0, 1};


Move your sun using [vec]sun_angle through your c-script...
