PointLights Don't Follow Scene In Standalone Exe

[Guest Red Ocktober]

in the editor, the point lights i have in my scene show up nicely... but when i run the exe outside the editor, my point lights aren't there...

 

anyone else getting the same...

hmmm... no I just added a pointlight to my test scene and it seemed to work just fine... perhaps its the same issue with the spotlight, where the INI file is wrong, so when you save it sets the SBX settings to something that will not actually show the pointlight

Mike, try changing the light_point INI file from this:

classname="light_point"
color=255,255,255,255
intensity=1
range=10
shadowmapsize=256
shadowoffset=0.0,0.95
inversesquarefalloff=1

 

to this:

classname="light_point"
color=255,255,255,255
intensity=1
range=10
resolution=0
linearoffset=0.0
multoffset=0.95
inversesquarefalloff=1

 

This is the easiest so you don't have to change the lua script.

 

Linearoffset and multoffset replace shadowoffset.

 

Resolution replaces shadowmapsize in the INI file and the settings are this:

resolution=0 is a shadowmapsize of 256

resolution=1 is a shadowmapsize of 512

resolution=2 is a shadowmapsize of 1024

resolution=3 is a shadowmapsize of 2048

 

Then restart the Editor and open up your scene and click onto your pointlight and check the settings... then resave the sbx and see if works now... you might have to delete the pointlight and recreate it to get it to work correctly.

changing the .ini file seems to have been the solution...

 

thx again...

 

 

i think i spoke too soon... it the exe doesn't seem to be reading in the keys or something... lights still aint being set properly...
