Dear shader experts,
I have a problem when I use the default mtlFX.c fx_bump or fx_specBump and dynamic lights. The manual says they support 3 dynamic lights but when all lights are clipped, the sun seems to be used and its light is added to the mesh what leads to ugly effects/ pop ups.

Is there any way to avoid the influence of the sun light? My work around is sun_light = 0 but it would be much nicer if could use the sun for my levels.

Edit: The third/ right light is ignored by the shader because the other ones are closer and the sun is active.

I believe this happens because the sun is treated as a dynamic light as the point lights instead of a sun light, dunno not sure? Though I have no solution for this, I bet someone else can help you out with this

The sun is treated as a normal lightsource. You can check which light is which type (directional, point, spot), but you can't decide which of the lights are the first in the array. And this leads to your problem: Because the sun is most far away, it is not used, when there are enough other lights in the range of the model.

I already told jcl about it, but he said, it would be okay like it is now.

Sry, I didn't found a solution yet =/

OK, thank you for your answer.
