Title: Funky Colored Lights? (I have your fix)
Post by: Phoenix on 2004-05-16, 00:18
Ever shoot a rocket and notice a "Jimi Hendrix" effect on the dynamic lights when it explodes against a wall?  So did I, after I had messed up my config.  I sorted it out and I found the cause.  I've added this to the .99d FAQ. (http://forums.wireheadstudios.org/index.php?act=ST&f=25&t=344&s=)

Rocket explosions and other dynamic lights are going crazy colors on me! What's going on?[/i]

Open the console and type this:

/r_finish "1"

Well, if you set "r_finish" to "0" then yes, the dynamic lights will sometimes freak out on you, hence setting "1" to fix it.

Never happened to me, and my r_finish was always set to 0. :shifty:

It's prolly related to drivers/vidcard/whatever, so I don't think reproducing them is going to be easy :]

Indeed, although I know this has happened to people before because someone else brought this up a while back.  I forget who.
