View Full Version : Recolored Lamps Won't Light Up

Hey all.. I just recolored the Mr. Lampy McFourlegs Table Lamp (found inside the Nightlife EP). This was my first attempt at a recolor and it turned out great with one exception.

The textures change fine in game, making the lamp look lit/unlit. But at night, when the lamp would normally cast bright green, orange, or red colors on the walls depending on the color of the original lamp, my recolor won't cast anything. So it looks lit texture wise, but there's no light coming from it. The room stays dark.

Does anyone know why this is happening? Do I need to Clone instead of recolor?

Have you used DXT3 format when you recolored it with simPe? That might be the problem... maybe. I hope I knew a better way to help you, but I'm not sure about which is the problem. Maybe you used DXT1, which does not handle transparency, so you can't see the light?
