QUESTION Create track night light lamps

[Raoulemilian]

Hey! So i allready read some topics like this but it's not working for me. I want to create light spots into my map. I have my mesh as a simple plane named "lightmesh"(set up as non renderable in kseditor) and apply to it the material named "lightmat". I added in mytrack/extension/ext_config.ini the next code:

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_0]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=lits glow
MESHES=lightmesh
KEY_0=ksEmissive
VALUE_0=255, 209, 178, 0.5
VALUE_0_OFF=ORIGINAL
KEY_1=ksAlphaRef
VALUE_1=-193   ; secret parameter makes it more "glowy"
VALUE_1_OFF=ORIGINAL
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

[LIGHT_SERIES_29]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=lits glow
MATERIALS=lightmat
OFFSET=0,0,0
DIRECTION=0,-1,0  ; down
RANGE=25       ; play with this
RANGE_GRADIENT_OFFSET=0.2
SPOT=100
SPOT_SHARPNESS=0.5
FADE_SMOOTH=30
FADE_AT=500
CLUSTER_THRESHOLD=25   ; play with this, its how many lights-sources are genereated
DIFFUSE_CONCENTRATION=0.15  ; play with this
COLOR=255, 255, 255, 0.05  ; r,g,b,brightness - play with it!
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

So,what i am doing wrong ? I can not see any light

I also tried like this but the same, no light.

[LIGHT_SERIES_...]
ACTIVE = 1
DESCRIPTION = lits glow
MATERIALS = lightmat
OFFSET = 0, 0, 0
DIRECTION = 0, -1, 0  ; down
RANGE = 25       ; play with this
RANGE_GRADIENT_OFFSET = 0.2
SPOT = 100
SPOT_SHARPNESS = 0.5
FADE_SMOOTH = 30
FADE_AT = 500
CLUSTER_THRESHOLD = 25   ; play with this, its how many lights-sources are genereated
DIFFUSE_CONCENTRATION = 0.15  ; play with this
COLOR = 255, 255, 255, 0.05  ; r,g,b,brightness - play with it!
CONDITION = NIGHT_SMOOTH

why you set the thing to "non renderable", this also makes the glow invisible, you need a mesh/material thats visible

and use ... here, instead of numbers, but thats not important, unless your cfg is huge
[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
[LIGHT_SERIES_...]

It's working, i added:

[CONDITION_01]
NAME = NIGHT_SMOOTH
INPUT = TIME
LUT = (|0=1|26400=1|26400=0|64800=0|64800=1|86400=1|)
LAG=0.97

[MATERIAL_ADJUSTMENT_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=lits glow
MATERIALS = lightmat
KEY_0=ksEmissive
VALUE_0=233, 182, 127, 0.04
VALUE_0_OFF=ORIGINAL
KEY_1=ksAlphaRef
VALUE_1=-300   ; secret parameter makes it more "glowy"
VALUE_1_OFF=ORIGINAL
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

[LIGHT_SERIES_...]
ACTIVE=1
DESCRIPTION=lits glow
MATERIALS=lightmat
OFFSET=0,0,0
DIRECTION=0,-1,0  ; down
RANGE=15       ; play with this
RANGE_GRADIENT_OFFSET=0.5
SPOT=200
SPOT_SHARPNESS=0.1
FADE_SMOOTH=500
FADE_AT=1000
CLUSTER_THRESHOLD=15   ; play with this, its how many lights-sources are genereated
DIFFUSE_CONCENTRATION=1  ; play with this
COLOR=233, 182, 127, 0.02  ; r,g,b,brightness - play with it!
CONDITION=NIGHT_SMOOTH

btw the secret parameter that makes it more "glowy" is not -300
its -193
