Hey guys, well as you know we all have to be a n00b at something, and this is one of mine...

Is it possible to maybe attach some kind of light to a infantry model that will actually show up in game??

e.g. Attach a light object to the saftey hat of the engineer to act like a flashlight, so then when he is walking around in dark places it actually lights up the area?

also

Is it possible to have some kind of laser sight for guns?

e.g attach some kind of laser beam to the gun model and it shines on things and on walls and characters??


it might sound a bit n00by but i don't know much about this stuff, im only a modeler Smile

Speedy response would be good thanks Wink

As far as I know, dynamic lighting is not possible in Renegade.(e.g. Headlights\flashing lights)

I don't think that the laser sight is possible, but it might be.

Thats not what i mean, i knew i could do that, but that doesn't actually shine on things and shine onto characters and other models.

Lol... Ah yes, Renegade's "limitless" engine, where everything is "possible" (or as we're told by those who don't know anything), can't even do a simple thing like a "flashlight" or a laser? Westwood could have came up with a real fps engine for Renegade, or at least gave the partial source code to modders, but no...

You mean they actually modeled the laser beam and tried to make it look like a laser? But wouldn't they have to make it REALLY long. And wouldn't the laser be seen on other sides of walls/objects/etc. that it shouldn't be seen on the other side of?

the laser on reborn's basic pistol is almost identicle to the laser on renegade camera turrets.

What SEAL said isn't what the original request is. The ceiling gun models with the pseudo laser sight as part of the model isn't a light that is displayed on whatever surface it hits (a la Half-Life). Sir Phoenixx is right - Renegade doesn't support any kind of dynamic lighting.

Yeah but there are always Dazzles to fill in for you. They won't "light up" any of the terrain, but in darkness, the dazzle remains it's color, so you kinda could know where you tank/soldier was if you were walking down a dark cave.

Can you (for tanks) place a light with the right settings in the level, then in-game run a text cinematic to create the tank and attach the light to the correct bone making the tank have a spot light or whatever?

No.

All lighting is static - it's compiled into the level when you build it.

Lol, you are one very pathetic little child.


1. I have not once said that attaching a realistic laser (we're not talking about creating a thin cylinder and putting a red transparent texture on it) to a model in Renegade was impossible, ever. The fact is that you have no clue as to rather attaching a realistic laser is possible or not.

2. Still can't accept the truth? You've only been modeling for no more than a few weeks, according to you the models you shown were one of your first models, and you can't grasp the basic concepts of modeling for games. YOU ARE A BEGINNER! Shall I say it slower so you're slow mind can comprehend it? YOU...ARE...A...BEGINNER! Everyone here was once a beginner, everyone here had to start modeling, or skinning, or mapping at some point, and everyone here had to learn, the only difference is that everyone wasn't as slow as you are. Add to that the fact that you can't take the truth, advice and criticism that would help your model and modeling.

3. Go back and look at the thread in which you turned into a "flame war", read through it and tell me who was the one who started refering to you as a "n00b". Yes, that would be you.

Why don't you take your talentless, immature and mentally challenged self and go find some other place to troll?

I'm pretty much talking out of my ass here, but I don't see a laser sight as being a problem to do. Look at how the SBH's laser rifle fires. Just clone that effect, make it do no damage and a constant beam, triggered by alt-fire. Sounds do-able to me.

Or maybe you just don't know anything, considering Dante is who says it's nearly a limitless engine and I wouldn't be calling that man a fool, if I were you.

Lasers are possible, but they're kind of weird. There's a checkbox for a laser in the weapon (Not ammunition) setting... I can't recall what it's named, but it has laser in the text.

It'll put out a laser beam after the weapon is fired...

Doesn't he want the laser beam out before the weapon is fired, so that he can aim with it?

It creates a laser beam after you fire the weapon? What would be the point? The laser we're talking about is what you attach to the bottom of handguns/rifles/etc. that shows you where your gun is pointed, to make aiming easier. What point would attaching a laser to a gun in Renegade be if it was only activated after you fire?

You make yourself look pretty bad and a very unwelcomed guest around talking like that. So the thing to do is stop the lying, we all know you don�t really know how to do the laser thing. So do all of us and your self a big favor and stop it. I would guess you�re a 10 � 12 year old spoiled little delinquent with no real parental supervision. So you have to lash out at any thing that remotely upsets you, nor do you know how to keep to the issues. and you have no clue of reality.

I seriously doubt that it's not one of the first models you've made. The complete lack of quality proves otherwise.

You are so extremely immature and overwhemingly childish that it isn't even funny. You have provided more then enough proof that you are nothing more then an illiterate, immature and mentally retarted pre-pubescent (not to mention talentless and completely unskilled) child.

So why don't you show us the screenshots of it? Is it because you actually don't have any screenshots or proof that a laser pointer can be attached to a weapon, but like many other things, you can't admit it?
