FTE already has this feature.. i hope it's on your agenda, Fuh

basically, it would be great if the player models, monster models and view models were lit by the coloured lights.. i.e. run through a red light and the player model is tinted red.. would be applied to the view models too..

i think in FTE it's done the same way as it's done in Quake2, i.e. the model is "tinted" with the colour of the light on the surface directly below the model.. run across a red lit floor, turn red.. this seems to be the way to do it..

perhaps you've already implemented this.. if not, please consider it

either of these pages have full tutorial based source code to do this, however i think it should be considered a singleplayer only feature really as it would have an odd effect on fullbrighted player models

p.s. the first tutorial is the more complete and newer of the two and covers static lights as well (it is mentioned in the 2nd one as being preferable)

I would love this feature in multiplayer. Am I the only person that enjoys good graphics in addition to great gameplay?

Was about create a new thread suggesting viewmodels should be affected by lits in the same way they are affected by lightsources/shadows, when i tried a search and found this thread.
Having player / monster models affected too would be just dandy ... pleeeeease consider it Fuh
