Light flares?

Hey, I came across these 6 images while browsing through some sites. They all seem to have light flares, I've played the Q3Test and it had the same light flares as well. I look into the pk3 files and it still has the flare in gfx/misc and I browse through the scripts and the light flare shader is still there and it's not even disabled. I've tried r_flares 1 to enable it but it won't work. Is there a way to re-enable it?

Images:






Flare shader:

flareShader
{
cull none
{
map gfx/misc/flare.tga
blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
rgbGen vertex
}
}

The majority of people think they think, when really they just change their prejudices. Understanding is a matter of will in most cases.

Re: Light flares?

there is a compiler-option
(when u make the map),
but i havent tested it yet!

On qLive they simply place flares manually!

I'll refrase, the light flares shader isn't commented out, but when I try to enable it with r_flares 1 it doesn't work.

They have (fake) light flares in Quake Live now? They should make it real light flares! What's the compiler option?

Too bad when I try to compile my maps it says "No such file or directory found.", I have to use Q3Radiant to compile instead.

Did you just copy ioquake3.exe and pretend it's an update?

no, there is many my own fixes/improvements on top of that like faster shader loading, more bind keys, raw mouse input, map_restart bug fix, frameloss bug fix, smart server restart technique (-no need for stupid restart scripts) etc

Re: Light flares?

Right, the only problem I have is it doesn't have flares in custom maps.
