Mebbe you could make a brazier addon?  ;D (Those big metal buckets with wood inside and lit to make a fire)

Be creative. What about those woodstacks with a fire underneath or something?

Think my man!

No street lamps in town?  Borrow some!

If you have Resistance, you can turn on object ID tags in the editor.  Find some lampposts in other towns no one is using.  Let us say, one of them is #142364.  Put object 142364 setPos and where ever you want the lamp.  No addons needed aside from Resistance.  I am not 100% sure this will work, but I think it should.

One problem!  When you change the map by moving map objects around, they stay gone until the entire map is reloaded (or was this fixed in 1.90?)  If it was not fixed, then if the player, for example loads another mission on the same island after playing yours, the lampposts will still be moved.  I could only suggest that at te end of the mission you put the lampposts back where they belong, which will not catch it, however, if the player does not finish the mission.

I hope you find a better way than this, LCD.

[LCD]

@ Chomps - yeah though bout it but dat thing wasnt fixed in 1.90  :-\ so i wil not try 2 do it as i myself hate plain misions dat do dat so its no 4 dat 1

nywayz im stil makin 1.46 compitable misions   (dis is da last 1) so i wil probably not use dis nyway    ;D 0 i know its prehistoric but even wid da prehistoric commands i have som aces in my hand  ;D

I guess you could just have a flare, suspended in air, replaced periodically by use of a script.

[O Neil]

Lol, LCD can't find anyone who help...hhahaa...then again, I ain't helping either............

[LCD]

@ O Neil - Thanku very helpfull  

@ Chomps - i guess it wil b dat way (suspended flare) or puting a car wid som1 init 2 light da way  

ny oder ideas ny1 ?

oh yea ;D How about making a target for 30.000 LGB's in the middle of the town? that would light it up a bit ;D
 Now serious now, isn't Goisse a bit of a small town? I think you could do with only a few lamp post from the editor, the problem is to get them, if is for 1.45 I bet you that 99% of the players have Gunslingers editor installed.
Just a sugestion.
Later all.

[Gameer_77]

Mebbe you could just give the player NVG's to start off with. Or, just make it a diff time  ;D

Hey there LCD!

I've known about this prob for a bit now and just thought of something.. Kinda...  

It's a real stab in the dark...    But here goes.

What if you have a chopper hovering above the town, as high as possible, in the perfect spot with his lights on??  

Guess that wouldn't be cool cause of the noise and the lag it would cause tho....  Well, I'm tryin!  

But yeah, I like the idea of having flares go off every 30 seconds or so...  That would be enough light for the player if he/she goes slowly and uses the light to their advantage...  :thumbsup:  I had the same problem when making The City of the Dead and I used the flare solution and it seemed to work fine, IMO...

I'll let 'cha know if I can think of anything else tho...  :beat:

@ @cero did u ever tried 2 light somthing wid slingers lamps ?  

@ Gameer  im tring 2 keep a stroyline over dere   nd u can get NVGs dats not da prob goisse is friendly city so its mor realistic dat u dont have 2 move wid NVGs dere  

@ Asmo - i dint think dat da choper wil add so much lag  ;D nd if its far eanogh it wil not b heard so i may try dis  ;D biut da flares its not city under attack just reg city  ;D

Just a half assed (hungover) suggestion, but could you camcreate flares inside the buildings so it appears that there is light coming from their windows. Now I don't know if goisse has any open buildings as i'm not in front of my ofp laden pc
But maybe place one in the upper room(s) near the ceiling possibly using setpos and a repeating/loop script. Failing that you could have it all in a trigger that covers most of the island, but there will be delay while another flare goes off. Maybe setpos it to a gamelogic at a certian height, using a couple different colours would make it seem like a porn stars bedroom ;D

[LCD]

@ Davies1 - i wil think bout it i realy like da idea bout da porn start  ;D

[@cero]

@ @cero did u ever tried 2 light somthing wid slingers lamps ?  

;D no  
Anyway, so far the two best ideas are the chooper flighing high and the flares inside the buildings, how would you camcreate a flare inside a building and kiping the flare in the same place ntill it gos off? cos if you can tell me I will use the flare thing for a idea of mine, fresh idea by the way.
Later all.

i wil try dis ideas 2day ;D

nd just 4 savin u time i tried 2 make light using slingers it gave me light halfway da pool (im not kidin u) so it did light da base but it was strange
