need help with light in my level

[kelly11]

Hello,

I'm very new to this modding / editing and scripting thing. I have been building my dungeon for some time now. But something changed and the light level on all levels/floors is brighter than it should be. I copied some scripts from "this rotten place" mod. Did that mess my light levels up?

And how to change it per level in the dungeon? ... atm It looks like im holding a torch (but I aint wielding one and there are no light sources near)

please help

This rotten place relies heavily on lightsources and particleeffects with a large area of effect, iirc.
Somewhere in those scripts, it probably defines a bunch of lightsources that are spawned around you or near you. Hard to say without seeing the scripts.

Did you set the light duration to -1? Because that doesn't make it last forever, it makes it grow brighter over time rather than dim over time.

what to change in the scripts?

It's not in the particle scripts, it's a lightSource object that emits light. Particle scripts emit particles, not light. (for example, "sparks" don't actually shine by themselves, they need a lightObject to do so.)

Check you objectsfile for lighsources.
