hi, i started a new map (for obsidian obviously) and here is a pic:

Image
(it's very wip, only 1 hour spend in it)

well, the questions are:

anyone knows a more "nighter" sky (not completly night) with dark blue colour and rainy like clouds (not all infested), something like this with more clouds:

Image

and the next (and last) question is:

in some cs:s maps i seen "fake" dynamic lights because they use a physics industrial ceiling lamp model with "light spot" sprite parented to it but they put a normal light spot i don't know how to explain that exactly, people knows my english is crappy :cry:

well, thanks for help xD

I don't really know what you want about the light_spot and dynamic light, but for the point_spotlight there's a flag to check/uncheck that's called "No Dynamic Light", making it a dynamic light or not. This might be useful for you. I suggest you could mean something like this..

Or do you mean the sprite and how to parent it to the lamp model or what?
Do you want to know how to make those lamps like in cs:s?
Those are made by attaching the prop_physics lamp model to a phys_ballsocket (which is put directly on the ceiling), so it would swing when shot. then, the lamp is set a point_spotlight's parent. the point_spotlight must be put directly under the lamp and it must point to the ground.

might look like this:

Please ask a precise question nex time or i'll have to guess again :wink:

actually it isn't really a simple sprite, but the point_spotlight has a sprite (to make it look volumetric) and casts light...

There's one in there? Is that any good to you?
If you download the pack bewarned, most of the VMT's will need fixing,
The forward'/' and '\' In the path names are all wrong etc.

Hmm, dosen't like being linked try here:
