Hi everyone,

Just noticed, whenever I throw a grenade, the light it generates is no longer reflected on the bsp, only on objects placed afterwards. (This is also affecting the light on the plasma sword carried by elites) The lights are still working fine on other, stock maps, so its not my graphics card or settings or anything, so I am at a bit of a loss as to what might be causing this - and lights attached to other projectiles seem to be working fine. Help?

Also on a somewhat different note, I have just noticed that the vehicles appear to not have muzzle flashes anymore. The functions seem to be working okay, is there something else causing this?

EDIT
After fiddling around, I have noticed it just applies to any dynamic light with a radius of less than about 2. The specular always shows fine, but the diffuse element of the lighting effect is missing. If I make the radius of the lights larger than 2, then there isn't a problem. Still, no idea what might be causing that.

In the context of what's happening, that doesn't make sense! The grenade lights work fine on unedited maps, and so I'm pretty certain that computer specs aren't an issue. I had considered it, as I know Halo doesn't like certain models of video card (mine is an ATI Radeon HD 4800) but as I said, the lights appear fine in other maps. It's not like they are being turned off by the game either, as I said, when I increase the radius they appear, but less than 2 world units and they are only visible on objects and not the bsp.

Also, any resolution on the vehicle muzzle flash lights would be very handy, if anyone has any solutions/ideas :)

Thanks :)

Hah, hadn't thought of doing that. Will give it a go and see what happens.

Thanks!
