Found one more major bug in portal-area code for parallel lights. To workaround it, the light origin can be placed into a void/wall (i.e. outside playable areas). Now it should make no harm even if light origin is in area. r10430 Disabled connectivity check for parallelSky lights in idRenderWorldLocal::AddAreaLightRefs (controlled by r_useLightAreaCulling). And some minor changes: r10428 Optimized CheckAreaForPortalSky method slightly. r10432 Improved logic for getting start areas for light portal flow in case of parallelSky light. The latest commit should improve situation for local shadowing lights, but in practice they are doomed anyway. |

Added deprecation warning in dmap in svn rev 10438. For anyone coming here due to the warning, this video briefly shows why local shadow-casting parallel lights is a very bad idea: https://youtu.be/q3VLMUCbXx4 You should also read the whole thread: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22149-parallel-lights-usage/ As of now, the wiki article about parallelSky lights is here: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Light_Properties#Parallel-sky_light Note that using parallelSky light has some specific requirements. You should make sure every outdoors area has portalsky-textured surfaces on its boundary. Note that parallelSky light respects visportals, so it does not magically pierce caulk to get from one visarea to another. |
