Luminaires and street lamps without their own point of light use the one in the game

[Ter160 4]

hi, i am modeling luminaires and street lamps to have some simple lighting object for TS2020, but it turns out i dont know how to put a light spot from blender 2.79, so in-game testing when setting the stage or route in night mode does not have to use the point of light that said game has

Hi Ter,

 

You can't make a light source in Blender or 3DSMax.

A light source is a child object of your street lamp.

 

A light source is a separate blueprint

 

1) you make a small sphere  in blender/3DSmax and export it as IGS

 

2) Open the blueprint editor

 

 

 

Here you van change light color, radius and 12/24 time

 

3) Add the light to youre streetlight as child object

 

 

NOTE: Sjef_Lamp_Natrium.xml  is an example here but can also be Sjef_Lamp1_bol.xml 

 

Convert it with preview and adjust the light child source position and export it if done

 

Thats all..

I'm missing the end result on a stage or route with the TS2020's night mode

Problems adding light to the luminaires and street lamps, I have followed your steps and it gives me an error when adding the light that I made with blender 2.79

You have rightklik  'ES Luz.xml' and then copy and than paste in blueprint?

And never use spaces or extra  dots  in the XML names but use  _  instead. i.e  Myfile_lamp.xml

 

 

 

I see the name is wrong also

The product name is wrong. I see no ES Luz.xml in that map.

I have three doubts the scale in the preview of the blueprint does not allow me to use it, and on the other, how does it turn white or yellow to the point of light, in addition to turning it on only at night?

[Sjef61 2,314]

Already here answered.

see my post  From 3 May here above.

changing colour   and radius and day night cycle.

But I don't see how to put the color white and yellow, besides I don't know why I can't change the scale in the testing window of the xml file

[Sjef61 2,314]

What do you meant with scale?

Please post pictures!!

 

You can only place the light bulp under the streetlight

 

 

The color of the light bulp is simple to change.

 

 

 

 

Hope this is more cleare to you

Yes, thank you very much, but I need to put the color white, you only explained the yellow color to me, also I do not know what happens to the scale, perhaps it can only be changed in the 3d program blender or 3dsmax modeling program, right?

[Sjef61 2,314]

(I have a request. Please send some pictures to clarify your question in the future/ usually have to guess what you really mean)

 

Scaling you do in Blender/DS3max 1:1 scaling in meters. Not in the blueprint! That's right

 

The colour is an example. you have to experiment with the 3 RGB sliders  and the Alpha channel slider

 

This is normal white light with a little bit yellow

 

[Ter160 4]

 

I have a new question, it is that although I already have light at last, I do not know if increasing or decreasing the value of the Radius field that will pass, since although the streetlight has light, the spheres do not light up, what is it due to?

 

 

[Sjef61 2,314]

 

There is a naming convention  in TS2020.

 

Asume that the bulp is a solo object.

make a copy of the light bulp in blender.

 

name the first bulp

1_1000_bulp_day

shader = TexDif

 

Name the seconden bulp

1_1000_bulp_night

shader = Tex

 

I am on the IPad so I can not make  a picture now.

if not cleare, I Will make a picture later thuis day.

[Ter160 4]

The second object is the shader TextDiff too,right?

[Sjef61 2,314]

Night texture Light on

 

 

 

Day Texture. Light off

 

 

 

 

 

[Ter160 4]

I want these explains but with the Blender 2.79 program

[Sjef61 2,314]

The basic is the same. Naming and shaders.

can not help you with Blender.

 

Maybe you can ask Frison. He is an Blender expert.

You can find Frison here :

Ok,Thanks very much,The problem is solved

[Ter160 4]

New problem, error when exporting the xml file of the light point created yesterday with blender 2.83

 

[Sjef61 2,314]

You used the right export-tool version in Blender?

 

[Ter160 4]

 

Yes, but it has already been fixed now I have a new problem with a texture in an ace format, knowing that I have it in dds

[Sjef61 2,314]

What size had youre orginal picture before  you converted is to DDS?

128x128  or 512x512 or 1024x1024.

if the size is wrong then conversion will fail. It will ASK for an Ace file.

 

Also, use   a to Z and 0 to 9 in your file name 

Edited July 3, 2020 by Sjef61

[Ter160 4]

 

Yes, it was correct 512x512 and I used the correct dds configuration in paint.net

Change de FileName of the  texture without the strange character

do not To forget to make a new IGS file

Thank you very much, but I wanted to know why if the conversion fails due to the wrong size of the texture or textures, the blueprint editor 2 asks me for a file in .ace format?

[Sjef61 2,314]

If the file size is not correct or the file name off the DDS is not valid then the converter program looks  If an ace file exist.

The older  Trainsimulator version worked only with Ace textures
