Summary	0000723: Lighting has been extremely increased
Description	Just look at GVG Anuket in the screenshots (from the last FS2 campaing mission). The first one is before firing my lasers. The second one is the lighting my kayser causes. This effect only happens with the last build (2006-01-16). I use OGL.

ARSPR 2006-01-17 22:03 reporter ~0004357	But the actual lighting is completely unreal. Just look at my distance from GVG, the path my kaysers have and the brightness they are causing on the GVG. It's absolutely weird.

taylor 2006-01-17 22:32 administrator ~0004359	It still needs work but it was a bug. Previously it didn't apply any of the light, though it rendered with it anyway. It is supposed to apply the light and actually looks good from beams and explosions. The intensity doesn't adjust properly when coming from small things (such as lasers) though, and that's the remaining problem. I'm trying to work out how best to deal with all of that and get the values computed properly. That's pretty low priority though. I may be able to make the rest of the needed adjustments this weekend or next week.

taylor 2006-01-30 07:59 administrator ~0004560	New code just hit CVS. Give it a try and report back if it's ok now.

taylor 2006-01-31 16:41 administrator ~0004585	Fixered. But this is still going to get a little more work over the next couple of months.
