the distance at wich the flash effects you is dependent on the size of the object exploding, so the meson bomb probly won't have any descernable diference, as its relitively small and you have to be fairly far away from it in order not to die.

Well, that sucks, then... Can't it be determined by the blast, rather than the size of the mesh?

[Bobboau]

hmm... I guess... don't realy feel like doing it right now though. spent the better part of a day and a half beating my head against trying to get lasers batched with absolutly nothing to show for it.

[FireCrack]

Yeah, blast makes more sense.

why not make it so whenever there is a large explosion, as in the main explosion of a cap ship or bomb exploding, the sun glare effect happens when you're looking at it, then fades away over a couple seconds? that would be awesome.

I think that's exactly what the flash tag does.

... carl's been doing that a lot lately...

all the new members have diluted Carl's food supply.

Yep, explosions give dynamic light. But what I miss is the dynamic light emmited from beam weapons, which seems to be non-existant now.
Does the -spec_tube x.x flag still work ?

[Bobboau]

it's still there... sort of, there is no tube light in the standard api set, so no fixed function tube light, so tube lights have to be simulated with a point ligh closest to the object.
