[dev] Light Intensity

Is it possible to change intensity of point or spot light?

 

You can do that with a script. In this example there is a cab control that can be used to adjust the intensity.

Code:

local desklight = Call( "*:GetControlValue", "Desklight", 0 )
local desklightint = Call( "*:GetControlValue", "Desklightint", 0 )
local desklightcolor = {1.0,0.966,0.786}
local desklightintensity = desklightint
Call("Desklight:SetColour",desklightcolor[1]*desklightintensity,desklightcolor[2]*desklightintensity,desklightcolor[3]*desklightintensity)
Call("Desklight:Activate", desklight);

"Desklight" is the name of the child component in engine bp.

Or if you meant a scenery item then you can do that in the properties flyout on the right-hand side - or in the blueprint if you want to create a set of them.IIRC

 

One of the problems with the new Italian route is the signals are not very bright - it would be good to change the intensity

 

Thank you, guys! Intensity is just a scale parameter for RGB values. Another undocumented feature!

 

It was documented in the later delivered docs for TS2014 and later as i remember.

And be sure to not call the functions every frame when there is no change in the values. It could eat up performance a lot a fast when doing it on signals. Put in a compare functionality that only sets new values when needed.

 

No need to. The developer is fixing that issue in the next update to the route.

 

I was giving that as an example but poor signal illumination exists on other routes.

 

Indeed. Quite a few german dtg routes suffer from this. I’ve been able to copy in the Schuster signal lightglows and remedy this.

 

Where did you download the Schuster signal lightglows?

 

You might be able to find them in Karlsruhe Offenburg. That route use Schuster signals. But otherwise there is a freeware pack at Rail-Sim.de

Backup before doing anything. It helped immensely in Frankfurt Koblenz and other routes as welll.
