18:14 neolith2099 Howdy, I would like to add a model that acts as a light source instead of a general node... any ideas how to do this or pointers on how lighting control works? Any pointers to 'specific' documentation is also welcome.
18:15 kaeza       neolith2099, that's not possible ATM
18:15 kaeza       (emitting light from entities)
18:16 neolith2099 would it be welcome as a feature?
18:16 kaeza       of course :)
18:16 kaeza       afaik not easy
18:17 kaeza       BTW, you can fake it by defining a fully transparent node with the max light level and placing it into the entity's place
18:17 kaeza       this is how technic flashlight works
18:17 neolith2099 I know... I already tinkered with server different approaches
18:17 neolith2099 several*
18:18 neolith2099 was hoping there was lighting for models themselves.
18:19 neolith2099 being new to minetest, I'll have to spend some time dissecting the code first to see how one could go about adding lighting to an entity.
18:20 kaeza       if you are interested in implementing that, you should drop by #minetest-dev (engine related discussion)
