[Bf-committers] Game Engine feature questions

[Charlie C]

Hey Alexander,

The dynamic lighting is a texture lighting thing.
It is a cube map texture who's coordinates are generated form an objects
position
then applied to all objects. The alignment was based, so you can render a
regular EnvMap
map and save it, then use it at runtime with load. It was quickly written
and will be looked at
in more detail.

Thanks,
Charlie
