Bridge Lighting
« on: February 26, 2021, 11:04:24 PM »
Hello all,

Been working this issue for a bit and can't seem to figure this one out. What exactly is lighting some bridges? The stock galaxy bridge is not lit by lights, but is instead lit by illum maps and something else...

When I have been experimenting, trying to get custom models to glow or be 'lit' on the bridge I have only gotten black/dark models as a result. I think it has something to do with vert colors, but I am not entirely sure what is going on.

While experimenting I did find something curious, if you set the Akira ship model to be a bridge, the nacelles will actually be lit (you can not really see them too well though). It is not something related to _glow maps because the entire ship has glow maps... something else is going on and I don't know what exactly.


(ignore the menu, was there because I was in the void)

you can clearly see the nacelle along with the outline of the ship... but yeah, idk what is going on here...
