What's New

First release (1-NOV-96)

Changes / Additions:

1)

now new keys can be used to specify light entities' direction and fading.

** key "mangle" specifies light entities' direction. key must have 3 values.

first value is "yaw" angle (degrees), second - "pich" angle, third - not used.

dont mix with intermission camera's key "mangle" which specifies X, Y, Z of

point where the intermission camera looks at.

example:

{

"classname" "light"

"origin" "384 192 256"

"light" "600"

"mangle" "90 -45 0"

}

** key "wait" specifies light entities light fading. key must have 1 value.

lower value makes light fade slower.

actualy does the same that commandline parameter "-dist" but

only for entities that have this key. commandline parameter "-dist"

still works.

example:

{

"classname" "light"

"origin" "384 192 256"

"light" "600"

"wait" ".5"

}
