Those dark places...

[Xordan]

Now you can brighten them up!

Great work, that really looks very good! 
So if you carry a torch, would other players see the lighting effects in the same way?

[Xordan]

yep

  Finally! Thanks Xordan!

Looks great!
(I hope the 'now' will be soon  )

I am saddened by this.

I will miss deleting all those duplicate threads about 'torches' or other movable light sources people always make in the wishlist section.



Does this mean you can make places dark and spooky again and we can just tell the complainers to get a torch?

[Tuxide]

Does this work on terrain?

[enderandrew]

This is an un-educated guess, but it should.  I believe this to be part of the migration to the new version of Crystal Space engine, which utilizes a new lighting system.

Kudos!

This is an excellent (and needed) step forward.  Thanks for your hard work Xordan?  I assume this will be effective as of the next update?

[Xordan]

Yes, it'll be there next (assuming we don't do a minor update first) release.

Neither Windows Media Player nor Quick Time will play the AVI.  They both seem to complain of a missing codec, so what codec is needed?

plays everything and runs on any OS.

videolan chokes on matroska files for me in linux (.mkv), I suppose it depends on what particular codecs are encapsulated mplayer plays them so I'm not sure what the problem is.
