Summary | 0003826: shadows blink briefly when torch turns on | ||||
Description | When a gothic_walltorch (and possible others?) is turned on, the shadow of the torch briefly blink and then vanish. It looks like the code that turns the shadow off does run a frame later than the code that turns the light on. Maybe the pause between "turn shadow off" and "turn light on" needs to be a bit longer. It doesn't always happen and sometimes it is very brief. Might only be visible on slow systems. | ||||

Basically this bug report is the opposite of 0003840 - 3840 says the shadow comes on too late, while this bug says the shadow gets turned off to late. 3840 cannot be easily fixed - if the shadow is turned on too early, the holders will cast briefly huge shadows. An exception might be made for blend lights, and we also might have a different delay for candles and torches. This bug says that if the shadow is turned off too late, it also casts a huge shadow. The events are as follows: light on => light off, pause, shadow on light off => shadow off, pause, light on The pause in both cases is defined by constants in tdm_lights.script: // When a shadow is switched on/off, this delays the switch by so many ms: #define SHADOW_SWITCH_DELAY_TORCH 500 #define SHADOW_SWITCH_DELAY_ELECTRIC 50 |
