jessicajones Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 Hi, How to enable lighting effects in opengl mode? The checkbox can't be enabled. Is this a bug?
X7123M3-256 Posted February 15, 2020 Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) I'm pretty sure the lighting effects only work with the rendering mode set to "Software (hardware display)" and not with the OpenGL renderer. That was definitely the case when they were first added, and I have just tested on a very recent develop build, and cannot enable the lighting effects in OpenGL mode. If I enable them and then switch to OpenGL, they do not function. However, I was told by one of the developers recently that they did work with OpenGL - though that might have been in error. You could always submit an issue querying it. Also, the light effects were severely broken until a couple of months ago - so if you are using a release build you will want to switch to develop if you plan to use them.

Derpercoaster Posted February 26, 2020 Posted February 26, 2020 It is also worth noting that the lighting will only work in windowed mode (at least that's how it works for me). It took me a while to figure it out.
