Hey, anybody knows why all of a sudden all my lighting in XWA is screwed? In skirmish I only get this bright red lighting and on real missions I have no lighitn at all.<BR>Any ideas on how to fix that? I was hoping to get some shots done with my new GeForce, but with no lighting that aint working very well...<P>------------------<BR>Murphy was an optimist!<BR><B>I</B> am a pessimist!<BR>Webmaster of the <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project</A>

No, it's definetifely NOT the gamma setting. First of all this only happens in XWA, second, this doesn't explain the bright red lighting I get when flying skirmishes. (And that's the ONLY lighting I'll get in skirmishes)<BR>And it's clear that there is no lighting in the missions. It's all the same dark color...<P>------------------<BR>Murphy was an optimist!<BR><B>I</B> am a pessimist!<BR>Webmaster of the <A HREF="http://www.xwaupgrade.com" TARGET=_blank>X-Wing Alliance Upgrade Project</A>

i got an wierd idea. Whenever you create a skirmish, the games creates a Temporary mission in this directory<P>C:\Program Files\LucasArts\XWingAlliance\SKIRMISH\TEMP (default)<P>Try it with a Real mission, or delete the temp*.tie file in the directory above.<P>There is anotehr option but it means getting out AlliED to do some editing on the background

Force, since you said you got a new card I'm guessing you don't have the latest drivers. Just go to the manfacturer's website and check. It's possible that could be why the lights are screwed up.<P>------------------<BR>Off we go into the dark, black void!
