It's not a problem with the numbers, I had all that worked out as a normal light just perfect. Then I added the RGB and...it looks just like it did before, a normal, boring, white light. I bacame frantic, I check options left and right, I altered my numbers to ridiculous values, there must be something wrong. After leaving alone for couple day to rest and regain sanity, I methodically checked and rechecked everything. Anyway, to the point, I know that the light is placed correctly, but somehow the color is being disabled.
A range of 3 is just about right for a room that is 5x5, it will fade almost exactly to the corners.
The light won't get "watered down" by other lights when there aren't any other around.
I set the intensity higher than 1 so that it wouldn't fade until near the edges of the lighted area.
Believe me, as a light, it's placed very well. I spent a lot of time getting all the number just perfect. It just doesn't have any color.
I think it must have something to do with the colormap, because that's the one thing I have different from other levels that colored lighting working in. I'm using 54sith, and the other level where I had tested to make sure my comp could do colored lights was in 01narsh. I wouldn't htink it would have any effect, but that's the only thing I can think of that's different.
Thanks anyway for the help.
