does anyone know how to put in glow points using pof cs 1.3.1?

i'm still stuck on runway lights and don't know how to implement them properly so you get nice spherical lights that blink off in succession

You can ask KAZAN.

talk to bobboau - the GLOW chunk is his baby (and only works with fs2 open builds - not the origional executeable)

[Bobboau]

add a bank, add some points, give it a radius, properties $glow_texture=$[name of texture here]

to do the blinking
"on time" is the amount of time (in milliseconds) the light will be on,
"off time" is the amount of time (in milliseconds) the light will be off,
"displacement time" is the amount of time (in milliseconds) that the bank's on and off time will be moved

so if you wanted three lights that blinked in sequence, you would need to have three banks,
on time and off time would be the same for all three banks (lets say 500, and 2500), but the displacment time would be diferent (0,1000,2000)

sounds good; what are the glow normals for?

[Bobboau]

that is the direction they are pointing, if you leave it 0,0,0 the thing will always render, otherwise it will fade as it points away from you
or for type 1 glow points (the beam lights) it is the end point of the beam

 thx bob, nice work as always

And is this adding the points to the model, or to the tbl?

now there are many reasons why that is a stupid question --- here's a dead give away : what does the P in PCS stand for...

I don't know, what does the P in PCS stand for, or PCS overall?
(I really don't know, where can I find out)

Screenshots! I know it's just a Ulysses with lights on it but let's see what you changed.

BTW I quite like the drone too

It says on top of the proggy, in the readme, and on the website.

All right, all right. I'm stupid, OK. Just get off my case.

Anyway, what version of FSOpen is needed?
