    Computer broke. It's being sent to a repair depot, and should be back in the next few weeks. When it returns, provided they didn't wipe the data, I will be able to continue work. If they did wipe the data, the project is canceled since I wasn't able to back it up before my motherboard died. Here's hoping it doesn't come to that.

    I'm also going to attempt to contact Car Killer to ask if I can use some of his lighting props from Fairhaven to speed up the process, and make lighting the bridge possible.

    I apologize for going MIA.

    Alright so. Computer got fixed, no data lost. Been busy with IRL stuff but I got some more progress done (Including the complete bridge!) issue is the update broke some shit. I'll keep working on it, and hopefully I can port the light locations to the new version of WC that is now conflicting.

    Here's some photos of progress on the city (Chinatown and the center city park) and police station: screenshot_2024-09-21_01-11-05.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-11-17.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-11-29.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-17-58.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-18-12.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-18-23.png

    and here's the coolest bit of lights I've done so far (the bridge)! screenshot_2024-09-21_01-27-49.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-28-58.png screenshot_2024-09-21_01-29-05.png Bridge is lit up identically on the other side as well!

    I apologize for going dark or over a month, but rest assured, work continues on (faster now that I've figured IRL shit out).

    Next on the list is finishing the city. Might be a few weeks until then but I'll send progress when I complete landmark areas like the construction site.

    Stay tuned!

    yeah it's pretty intensive thanks to how beam deals with point lights. Also spotlight shadows. I will make one version without shadows to make it a LITTLE easier to run.

    No clue on ETA, will take a while to complete and probably longer to figure out how to port it. EOY is my hope.

    Shameful that devs can't add street lights to maps (that need) when a random guy can do it.
    Looks great btw, hope things are still going well. :D

    I mean, there are lights on Small Island, and Utah also has lights, but other than that, there are no other maps with lights.

    The dev's want this game playable on as many pc as possible, lights make the map much tougher to run on pc's with lower specs, so I understand they are very carefull with lights in the maps, especialy in big maps like italy.

    And I wonder how many people wants to drive in the dark.

    Not me, and it isn't that much GPU intensive for those I tested.
