Knights Reborn

Hey guys! Been messing with some texture recolors, and I was trying to see if I could make the lighting on the map match up, somehow.
I tried editing some files called taspir1_mapglow, but that didn't do anything.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!!

i'm going to say no because i'm pretty sure that the lighting is compiled / baked into the map. lighting and shadows are calculated as part of the BSP compiling process, so you'd have to decompile the BSP and import it into GTK Radiant then try and rebuild it with new shaders. Which is probably a 9/10 on the headache-o-meter.

Would it even still work with the map on the server if I altered something like that?
BTW I remember using your skin tutorial for team skins a while back! Thanks for that!!

i know i've asked this question to Jaw before, answer is i don't remember lol

The server's .bsp will override your custom one. The reason why you can do your texture remapping is because the .bsp contains a by-name reference to the texture to your local assets.

Do you mind if you sent me a download link or instructions as to how to edit this? This would look incredibly cool; I want it!!

Of course!! When I get home, I'll make sure to share how to do it.

@Syz I think Steak is talking about the lighting, not lightning. Both lighting and shadows are calculated by the compiler and that information cannot be viewed like images. The lightning shader however you can probably change to be green, yes.

haha well thats just funny. lighting! NOT lightening! >.<

I do appreciate you looking into it though!
Primordial, I haven't forgotten, just haven't had time. But I'll explain soon!
