Sorry, another DP-newbie question...
Is there a way I can attach particular values to lights in my map editor for them to appear colored in DP?
If not, do I have to use .lit files to have colored lights in my maps? Are there other ways to do it?
If I do need them, how do I create .lit files?
Thanks for your patience
Color lights in DP
In GTKRadiant, for example, you select the light, hit K, and a little display will pop up so you can change the color.
As for colored lightmaps, you'll need to get a compiler that can export .lit files - hmap2 works, just do hmap2 -light mapname as your command line.
DP (and Vr2 ) will load colored lights as .rtlights directly from the BSP, as long as the compiler doesn't strip them out. You might not want these lights as .rtlights (just using the lightmap) so you'll need to do the .lit route if not.
