Colored lights
Colored lights
Is possible to colorize the "air" or "vacuum" nodes to emulate colored lights?

Re: Colored lights
Well...
Standard issue air is kinda a completely invisible node...
Like... The not rendering at all kind of invisible... I think...
So unless you replace it by other invisible node or override it's drawtype... Not really...
But if you do replace it with another node or replace the drawtype, it kind of should be possible... But I think it would look pretty ugly and look terrible with plants, nodebox and transparent nodes...
However, MineTest supports hardware coloring, so you could probably use that to simulate colored lights... But it takes up the node's paramtype slot, so it wouldn't work well with nodes that are supposed to use paramtype for something else, but could look somewhat OK with other nodes...

Re: Colored lights
Thanks for your reply,
I'm going to investigate (hardware coloring) and try it, it might not go too bad

Re: Colored lights
or override air node and add post_effect_color
Re: Colored lights
This only applies when "the player is inside the node". Not valid for distant vision purposes.
Re: Colored lights
I would be interested in your findings and basic implementation. I'm working on a biomes that I intend to have a colored tint.
Besides, it would be nice if a red colored lamp actually emitted red light. 😬
Re: Colored lights
No, colored lighting is a desire, still not real.

The problem is the implementation, not backward compatible with old worlds. Read that.

Re: Colored lights
i made this replacing the default "air" with my own but it's so laggy... so, i hope that this will implemented in the future.
