    Hi guys,

    I'm having problems with the lights, I configured it like "light glare" src alpha in source blend and inv src alpha in dest blend. Is this correct or I have to work with other alpha?

    The other problem I'm having is that the light don't work.

    First disable blending and see if polygons are even there :)

    Then try with blending: Src Alpha / Zero - this will pretty much black squares with your texture on it - will mean that everything is ok and should work with src alpha / inv src alpha.

    What are we looking at? Are you talking about the "visible light cone" that most of us add as a visual hint or the actual omni lights that would illuminate your other gmts?

    I was totally confused, I thought that with the nightlightglow I could make the light work. Rookie mistake. I watched a tutorial about how to create the lights using omni lights and this is my first result.
