| Summary | 0006243: Light volumes that should be culled bleeding into other vizleafs | ||||
| Description | In the map Welli and I are working on, there is a large single light in the fireplace on the ground floor. With the player stood in the basement and after inputting "r_showLightCount 1" we can see way more lights hitting surfaces than there are light in that vizleaf. So I stood still and look at each of the colours represeting amount of lights hitting surfaces - red = 0 green = 1 blue = 2 cyan = 3 pink = 4 white = 5+ And the white stood out as I could see it moving like a candle or fireplace. So I then nocliped to the room above and doused that fireplace. And then when that light off, I got a FPS improvement | ||||
| Additional Information | @nbohr1more comented - "I wonder if some of this can be done at the dmap level since optimizing the realtime engine is a pretty challenging." | ||||

Light cannot be always culled by flowing through visportals. Read linked 0005172 for explanation why. |

|
Finally fixed in svn rev 10394: https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=5172#c16011 Lights no longer interact with entities in areas that their rays don't reach through portals. With an important exception: the world geometry still casts shadows in all areas within light volume (regardless of portals). |

Thank you. |
