@Robert: did you set the sky cube with the sc_sky() instruction (see example levels)?

Yes, use the 07.c sample and change camera parameters to:
you = ent_create(NULL, vector(-2316,1360,1291), v_camera);
you.pan = 149;
you.tilt = -3;

Should be exactly the same result like picture above.

Yes, I've got the same result. But I don't know what could cause this problem. Maybe BoH Havoc see this bug report.

Would somebody be so nice to give me a tip how i can use ZNEAR ( now for a fps weapon ) with shade-c lights ? Iam too stupid to get this work. Ive set two lights. If the weapon has ZNEAR, one of the lights is disappearing ( belongs to direction camera looking into ). Sometimes both are visible, sometimes only one. Iam happy for any tips / hints.

Edit: Now it seams to work ( at least i think so ). seams the direction of a Spotlight caused this.

Thanks for testing, seems to be the default sun light wrong in EVO, if setting the sun_color to NULL the skybox works.

Anybody faced the same problem that ZNEAR isnt working correct with ShadeC EVO dynamic lights ? Did i miss something ?

Another question: Is there any skill value to control ambience of model ? Like my.ambient = 30; ?

Thanks

ZNEAR tested and works well by me, what exactly happens with your code?

Ok i found the problem in sc_gBuffer_sky.fx if we change to alphablendenable = false; should work.

Hello,
in some situations ( near ) lights disappearing ( when looking in some directions ). Only if my used weapon action is flagged with ZNEAR. Besides that, ( 4ex ) my fire - particles are rendered / visible through walls ( =blocks with shadec material ) if ZNEAR is set. No ZNEAR, everythings fine. Its a fps project, weapon is placed close to the camera vectors and ive set camera.clip_near to 1 btw. The light - znear - "Bug" seams to be a "random".

For some particle effects ive set those var's to 1:

Maybe i made those probs myself, if nobody else having probs with ZNEAR, guess so.

I don't use ZNEAR at all. At all. So It must be something irrelevant to ZNEAR? Or maybe its just us rayp xD
