differential lighting?

[JSDisc]

No this is not what I mean. This is extra shadows added to add realism to the game. I like it a lot but its not what I mean.
I mean reflectivity to light; If light shines, it doesn't just illuminate a station. the station is made of metal so in real life, it would reflect and cast a light strip from the light sources.
this includes :
Suns
Internal lights
Engines
Weapons
etc...
I have no clue of the program used but I believe that it is something called
NanoFX2
just take a look at the new game "Star trek excalibur" here:

LIBERTY IS THE STRONGEST OF THEM ALL!!! oh wait, that's 4.84
Now you'll see. I'll predict the future. in 4.86 Gallia will launch a full scale attack on the houses! guess how I know.

doesn t work with FL in its current state - FL does not support dynamic lightsources - i m not quite sure if freeworlds has added that ( they have added so many things ) - so it MIGHT be possible - but adding such stuff to an engine that isn t prepared for it - can often result in unwanted consequences ( like massive fps drops )

all in all - object shadows, object lightning is neat - but hardly noticable in a fast arcade like game like freelancer.

if asked, i m sure that most ppl couldn t even tell what colour their canopy is - cause they simply do not notice it.

Ok, might be a distant project, just thought is would look nice to have this when you're fighting battleship but i'm more then happy with the realistic lighting ( or maybe a genius will pop up and say that he can refit the entire disco engine.:lol:can always dream

It's not DIFFERENTIAL lighting. It's deferred lighting. Freeworlds and Continuum have them.

The Continuum one will be posted soon.


EDIT: The Realistic Lighting Mod just changes the intensity of light within the game. That's not DL.
