Indoor lighting for night missions

[gruukh 13]

This is probably a bit ambitious to ask given the game is still an alpha, but does anybody know of a way to emulate or enable interior lighting of buildings. I'd like to have a degree of realism/immersion for a night mission i am making.

[tpw 2314]

I wrote this mod a while ago for A2: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?134139-TPW-HOUSELIGHTS-automatic-house-light-addon , which adds lights into buildings around the player at night. I've been out of modding for a while, but recently tried a few of my old mods in A3 and whaddya know, this one actually works.

It does increase immersion but be aware that the interior lights have no source (lamp, candle etc).

I'll be interested to hear if it works for you.

[gruukh 13]

That sounds good mate, I'll give that one a crack and let you know how it goes.

[lordprimate 159]

wait, wait , wait...

TPW, your saying that your houselights mod works in Arma 3 .. because once again like the JTD likes i was just thinking about testing that next .. i just played around with dynamic weather script and i was thinking about this one.. I cant wait to try it out now !!

Thanks TPW

This sounds cool but.. How do I use this for arma 3.. I'm terrible at this stuff.

tpw, I tried running the script but A3 hung when i ran it in the editor. I have the mod running via a launcher, and correctly edited/repacked the pbo so the paths to the scripts were correct (I'm using the MP version BTW, it's a COOP mission). As an FYI, to run it I placed a gamelogic and put nul=[this] execVM "tpw_houselights_1081mp\tpw_houselights.sqf" to call it. I couldn't figure out if this is the right way to call it; my Arma coding skills are strictly of the script kiddie variety...

I think I'm doing something wrong here, but I don't know what exactly. Did you get it working with the SP or MP version?

I've only quickly run the addon version of SP and it definitely worked in the editor. There should be no need to place nul=[this] execVM "tpw_houselights_1081mp\tpw_houselights.sqf", it just runs. Make sure to place yourarma3/userconfig/TPW_HOUSELIGHTS/TPW_HOUSELIGHTS.hpp too.

IIRC people started having troubles with the MP for some reason but I never got to the bottom of it before taking a break from Arma. I will look into it shortly. Please try SP in the mean time and at least see if you can get some lights happening.

EDIT: It just occurred to me that the MP version cannot work yet, as it replies on me setting up a list of precalculated lights. I haven't done this yet. The SP version calculates the lights on the fly and will work on any map with enterable buildings

I thought that may be the case - I seem to recall reading MP lights were hardcoded. I'll try SP anyways, see how it goes. If you get around to doing an MP version for Stratis, let me know, would be awesome!

EDIT: Ran it with SP and get a hint saying TPW Houselights 1.08 0 Lightable houses. Not sure why it doesn't work for me, but I only make COOP missions at this stage so not too worried about it.

OK I just tried again with TPW Houselights 1.081 SP addon version (not the script version): https://dl.dropbox.com/u/481663/TPW_HOUSELIGHTS_1081.zip, and it absolutely does work, for both the alpha and the dev versions of A3.

• You must install the config file from the zip: yourarma3/userconfig/TPW_HOUSELIGHTS/TPW_HOUSELIGHTS.hpp
  
• You must be running Community Base Addons for A3: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?147535-CBA-Community-Base-Addons-ARMA-3-Alpha
  
• It must be dark :)
  

See how you go with these!

Shall do. Will do a fresh install/setup and try it.

OK, saw it working now. It's an awesome addon! Am I correct in saying that adapting the MP script to Stratis would require adding an array with all of the lighting locations, as you have done for zargabad, shapur, etc?

Glad you finally got it happening. You are absolutely correct, I will need to make the stratis lighting array. I will first have to dust off my rusty arma scripting and mod compiling "skills" so this won't be happening tonight I'm afraid.

Yeah from looking at the arrays for A2 + OA maps, it looks laborious. Where do you find the information to populate the array - is it the ID of each building on the map?

anyone sample mission?

The released script version of TPW is missing a variable but here is the MP one that works (using it in a mission).

Save as tpw_houselights108-mp.sqf

// THIS SCRIPT WON'T RUN ON DEDICATED SERVERS
if (isDedicated) exitWith {};

/*
 TPW HOUSELIGHTS v 1.08
 This script causes flickering lights to automatically come on in enterable
 buildings around the player. It will work on any map with ALICE2 compatible
 enterable buildings, and will simply ignore unenterable ALICE buildings.
 Please feel free to modify and improve this script, on the proviso that you
 post your improvements for others to benefit from.

 This is the multiplayer version, with light parameters hard coded in so that 
 all players see the same lights. 

 Thanks:
 * CarlGustaffa for the azimuth code
 * Rydygier for the inspiration for the flickering code
 * RogueTrooper for the improved code for determining enterable buildings
 * Xeno for config and server help

And put this in your init.sqf

[200] execVM "tpw_houselights108-mp.sqf";

And everything should work fine after 10 seconds. Note this is the MP version, not the SP.

omg toinc-_- !!!!!!! really nice , it work perfect

[lordprimate 159]

LOL, I posted a thread where i took your(TPWs) mod version apart for use as a script .. posted a seprate thread labeled TPW house lights..... and the MP version works perfectly .....

Edited March 21, 2013 by Lordprimate

The proper SP and MP version, compatible with A2 and A3, and runnable as addon or script is now available here: http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?151320-tpw_houselights-automatic-house-lighting-for-Arma2-and-Arma3

I'd appreciate it if any posts detailing further deconstruction and tinkering of my work be placed in that thread. Thanks!
