does this work on gm_construct_13_beta ?

Could a value to change the shadow filter please be added? This is the only thing that is forcing me to use lamps instead of these lights in some scenes. Everything else is perfect.

thx

haha yes, light mod. i need it rn

Thank you so much for creating this very useful tool! Your work has been used for a Garry's Mod short film: https://youtu.be/RFC9fKK57-o

It's not showing up in the entities tab, although I have it downloaded. Have I skipped something accidentally? Any fixes?

uh, for some reason, sometimes I don't see it in entities, and sometimes I do

Don't have commands to lower the resolution of the shadows? Even if I lower the quality of the shadows, it doesn't change in these light entities, they still look sharp

i wish there was a way to replace normal lights with these

Guys, I think I found the simfphys vehicles base. It might be the real lights.

ok

"Cannot call CStudioRenderContext::AddShadows w/ proxies in queued mode!" is spammed in the console.

how to remove the arrows

is it possible to project shadows without a light source? the environment I'm working in is rather bright already, but shadows would be a great addition

some props do not have shadows, others do? https://i.imgur.com/CeyRREt.jpeg

expensive light etc have no shadows even tho the shadows option is on, also i have the shadow quality to high

grgegg

Honestly, this is so great I've been using it for years, an awesome tool
As if that wasn't enough, this thing is easily compatible with PermaProps and makes mapping that much more convenient and enjoyable

thanks for the code my man , i play this game on my deadlaptop, love it

Okay! Problem fixed, a UI Spawnmenu I had was not compatible with the Advanced Light Entities Properties Feature.

Might just be a UI Addon I have thats conflicting and isn't compatible. Will update later

The Edit Properties Feature isnt working, it brings a blank page. Might be just me, i'll verify files and check

Anyone have any clue why these have suddenly gotten brighter? My old saves i used for a video are now WAYY too bright when i tried to re-create them.

@Denji, there's no way to replicate it, but you can do you own FGD file to use these light entities inside of your Hammer.

I'm not having this issue. This looks like an engine thing, or another addon. There's nothing in the code for this addon that does anything like that. It's probably another addon screwing with things, or you have a console variable or other setting enabled somewhere that is making the engine render the projected texture frustum like that... or gmod itself is broken since a previous update and is screwing with things. The light also has a three-axis handle rendered at its origin, so it's probably a debug setting of some kind. All I can suggest is either check/clean your addons or see if you have any bad console settings enabled.

this has been doing it for a WHILE, but this addon adds weird cones to lights of any kind or something.

Dumb Question, but is there a way to have such a thing work on Ragdolls?

the expensive light is a light, but has the material of a missing texture, help?

Can you not disable collision on the light? the context menu says collisions are off but i want to put it inside of a lamp model

Is there a way to replicate the expensive light in hammer?

This mod is fucking amazing, thank you.

Anyone know why the light for the Expensive Light(s) is the missing texture/checkerboard?

Cheap lights needs less server CPU Power than regular gmod lights? I want to use them on a server

Update: Problem fixed. Had to reinstall Gmod and adjust my core rendering. Turns out it was very faulty and was causing multiple problems.

I'd like to think this is more of my Gmod failing to render properly with multicore since it appears for a split moment before becoming a green cube. Will update on this later.

For some odd reason the light entities are green wireframed cubes instead of the orbs. And it was working fine before. It still does, it just doesnt appear as a orb anymore

what mod adds those orbs?

made me realise the dark room's true purpose. i now know my true place in the universe and am closer to the path of enlightenment. call me in a few weeks and ask me what the meaning of life is, i might achieve a state of Nirvana and will have to insult to keep myself impure enough to not ascend to the other realm

good for screenshots

actually the shadows work now

thanks

I’m still here and still working on addons, I’ve just been busy for the last few years, and haven’t updated or uploaded anything in a long time.
The gmod build of the Source Engine doesn’t support volumetric lighting, as far as I know. However, I have been trying to invent and implement something similar and adding it to this addon. It’s not going well, though.

Although i´m commenting REALLY late...
Is there any given chance that the creator of this addon still its alive,
Its possible to add volumetric lighting to garry´s mod in the same manner as SFM?
So...
but atleast was worth the shot, i guess?

i dont see shadows even with shadow quality set to high

good addon

shadow detail is set to high but the only thing that produces shadows are the map brushes???
