For some reason, my screenshots are always darker when I take them with printscreen. When I ALT-TAB to desktop to see them, they look good, but when I exit OFP all the pitures I took become a lot darker;
Anyway, I took some new screens + the very neat mgspot-script from Sui with a small modification by me..
Maybe there's something wrong with it, I'm not a very good scripter...
As you can see the tablelamp is in the right position as long as there no object underneath it.
Why's that?
It's amazing to see what people try to simulate a searchlight euh?
Common, great addonmakers, please give us a searchlight...
AFAIK you can't place a light on a barrel, so Ai or player can't use it, .We can use the mgspot.sqs to make it turn, it's better than nothing
