Light colors on the map

Post by Ndorset »

Hello again,

I have successfully been modding the Lawfolds map for my own personal preferences. I am pretty happy with it and I was getting ready to play it, but I had a thought just before I finished.

I have moved some barns around and added a few extra lights too, how can I change the color of these? I have selected the light and then gone to the light tab and there is a RGB system. I thought RGB was a maximum of 255,255,255 however the largest number I can enter is 5. What color system is this and how can I get 8000K light colour?

Any help is much appreciated

Thunderhawk you can actually enter the RGB colours in the editor. next to 'colour B' is the old '...' I thought my attributes window was wide enough but this was hidden. Once selected you can enter colour as expected and change lightness, intensity etc....

I thought you were experimenting with just the 0 - 5 options. My mistake
