    COL files: candles and night

    I made an interesting discovery: the location ligther tool is broken in GoF. I reinstalled CoAS, this time didn't add any mod, tested the loclighter tool and it worked. It was a quick test, I'll probably repeat it in the next days, but I am quite sure the tool is broken in GoF. Edit: when I say...

    COL files: candles and night

    Thanks, at least now things are less misterious, I know that there is something wrong in my installation of CoAS + GoF. It would be interesting if somebody else with GoF could test this, so I can better track down what the problem is... if I can!

    COL files: candles and night

    So changing the settings in the 'group candle' increases or decreases the light intensity around candles? Damn, it's not working in my installation of CoAS... I changed all those sliders, and got no changes whatsoever!

    COL files: candles and night

    I have that shine around the flame, but that's a particle effect that is added once in game. What I am referring to is the light baked in the COL files: for the night, there are brighter areas around light sources, that add up to the little shine effect these light sources produce on their own...

    COL files: candles and night

    It's COAS GOF... Did you make the col files for interiors with light sources also? And the brighter areas aound candles, fires etc were automatic? If you remember. One strange thought: how many chances exist that the mod somehow corrupted the location lighter tool? I don't have a vanilla...

    COL files: candles and night

    Yes, I'm using that. I tried to play with all the different settings, but the light is always uniform. When there are candles in the scene I get an additional section, "Candles group" or something, and I thought I could get the effect I explained above tweaking the settings there, but actually...

    COL files: candles and night

    Thanks for the answer, but it didn't solve my problem. I tried to choose a color with TOOL, but I got the same result: the light is uniform across the room. And the locators are correct, I do get the flames. I'll try to explain better with a screenshot. This is the default "cabin small" at...

    COL files: candles and night

    Yes, that's how I learned about making col files. There are so many useful guides in this site, I learned a lot about the Storm Engine here. Many thanks to the authors of these guides! Thank you!

    COL files: candles and night

    I'm trying to create .col files for an interior location, but I'm having problems with the light from candles at night. Looking at the original models, they have brighter spots around the candles, and darker areas where there is no illumination; and this is expected at night, where the only...

    Tutorial Editing and Exporting Models with Maya

    Did you accurately read the tutorial? Because everything you need to know is there... After you import the object in Maya, you must create a locator, leave it in its default state, and set it as the parent of your object. Then you select just the locator in the Persp/Outliner, go to File >...

    Change ships cabins in an existing game

    I saw that GenerateShip is used to assign the ships to characters, so probably is similar to that GiveShip2Character in PotC... Anyway, I will see what happens, as you suggested. Yea, I noticed that with this experiment of cabins. But I was able to change the stats anyway (at least, the...

    Change ships cabins in an existing game

    In ships_init.c there are the ship-cabin associations in the form of refship.CabinType = "Cabin_Small";. In boarding.c there is a block of code for every cabin that defines the paths to models, to locators, etc. There is a reinit button in the mod options (it's GoF), but I successfully did a...

    Change ships cabins in an existing game

    Oh yes sorry, I forgot to specify it. :oops: It's Age of Pirates 2 CoAS

    Change ships cabins in an existing game

    I am trying to see if it is possible to change the ships cabins in a game that is already started (from a first preliminary test, I managed to change them in a new game). Looking through the code, cabins are assigned to ships in Ships_init.c, and all the properties of these cabins are in...

    Solved How is the Sailor Tool supposed to work?

    Ok I solved the problem! The program was using the Intel HD card which, for some reasons, could not display the points and the lines. I switched to the NVIDIA card, and now magically I can see everything! Thanks for your answers.
