But that would be too obvious. Mosquill loves just doing the things people almost take for granted that don't seem possible, at least that's what it's looked like :p

I really hope he figured it out for PR. This could be his 2142 mod.

Nice! :)

Though I'm sure lightmapped objects shadows will remain nonchanging (since they arent rendered in constant real time like vehicle and unit shadows :\

Though, they technically can be set to have shadows rendered like that...

Definitely looks beautiful though :)

Vehicles and Soldiers cast dynamic shadows, buildings and statics however use lightmaps that are all pre-calculated and baked onto the terrain. This is unbelievable though, if only there were a way to get around the building shadows problem.

just dont put shadows, at least thats the simple solution, plus it makes mapping easier

But looks rubbish. No map in PR lacks static-casted shadows.

i see some problems with this too though, in regards to in game time, itll just be weird if 1 hour on the clock is one day in game

Agreed, even if it isn't realistic maybe finally we'd have a SEagle where we could bloody SEE something.

What i was thinking that it could lead to rounds where it starts before day break and about 20 minutes into the round it turns into morning, then it could be real time hours, getting a bit brighter per every hour played, so you could put it that every hour of gameplay = 1 hour 15 minutes real time, thus the end of the round, starting at six, could be about 10 ish on average
:D

The way to make lighting look sorta correct on a map is to do a Ambient occlusion lightmap (required 3dsmax/maya to complete level). Its allot more work not less, and no PR map should be without lighting. It just looks crappy.

Well, if this comes out for PR I might just lose a few months of my life. I mind as well start stocking up on some V drinks, snickers and assorted lollies. Night time fighting? Does this mean we get night vision goggles :D
