Unlit buildings

[jezpops 0]

Can anybody give me a step by step explanation on how i can make some parts of the inside of building darker/unlit?

Thanks in advance

open your model in o2

select your faces go from menu

points->properties (or shift+e from your keyboard) in the pop up check "always in shadow" option

Thanks for the reply, i tried this but it seems to have no effect. I read that this is now obsolete and i have to do something with the rvmat files which is where i got lost!

You need a shodow LOD for the building model. The self-shadowning will darken the inside.

Thanks guys will give this a try...stuck on something else at the moment, more to do with visitor than this forum.

So can you make a the ground textures not react to (sun)light

with a rvmat?

yes, open the RVMAT with the mateditor, then add the predefined flag:

AlwaysInShadow

the old way (via Oxygen) doen't work anymore

I have tried the above methods and i do get shadows but still the room is not dark enough, its supposed to represent an underground bunker and all the shadows do is represent where the sunlight hits it at an angle which would never happen as its underground - is there another way to darken the room and tunnels?
