What are you working on?

Sounds interesting. Maybe add some more stuff into the rooms above the cellar, look so empty.

You can achieve a much nicer looking flashlight in DP using cubemaps.
viewtopic.php?t=820&highlight=flashlight

The .skin float tells which cubemap to use, so 200 will need: cubemaps/200px.tga

In that file it should be entirely black then put a white spot in the middle. The white spot will be the flashlight.

Cheers GiffE, have implemented. Its definitely smoother. Just tinkering with brightness, which is easy

cont: I've settled on 256 which makes things remain spooky . Before I spend too long tinkering, failing, spotting an obvious mistake, tinkering some more, then eventually failing - is it theoretically possible to dynamically adjust the brightness, e.g. could I simulate failing batteries?

newflashlight.light_lev = 1024;
not working?

ajay: sure, just add some code which alters the light_lev of that light.

Excellent, I'll get on it; it will be a nice gameplay feature to have your torch fading and eventually going out, while you have to search for batteries.

Sort of got my torch battery working. I haven't been able to get ti fading over time, bt I have got it 'running out', which is preventable if turned off, you know like a proper battery like!
Simple for some, but well tricky for me! All I got to do is now have a battery pick up to boost it, which should be simple, and have it have its own parm, to carry it thru' levels. Marvellous!

This inventory looks good. I watched the video too. I liked.

That looks excellent Chris. What does the cone do
