Why gun fire makes no ambient light ?

togus_44

Hello guys !
Why shooting guns doesn't make light around like exhaust backfire or fire fx ? It's ugly

Is it possible to fix that ? thanks

@togus_44 probably to do with the in game settings, but otherwise it’s this games physics as how light works in los santos.

@MegaDeveloper yep sad, but certainly the better way for a very good optimization

These are the values you'll be interested in :

            <FlashFxLightEnabled value="true" /> (true = enable)
            <FlashFxLightCastsShadows value="true" /> (no visible player shadow cast in my quick test but might work with different settings or is just environmental shadows etc)
            <FlashFxLightOffsetDist value="0.000000" /> (how far in front of barrel the centre of light on ground is)
            <FlashFxLightRGBAMin x="255.000000" y="93.000000" z="25.000000" /> (colour/intensity of light min)
            <FlashFxLightRGBAMax x="255.000000" y="100.000000" z="50.000000" /> (colour/intensity of light max) 
            <FlashFxLightIntensityMinMax x="5.00000000" y="10.30000000" /> (min/max intensity of light on ground)
            <FlashFxLightRangeMinMax x="2.500000" y="6.000000" /> (light range min/max, how big circle of light on ground)
            <FlashFxLightFalloffMinMax x="24.000000" y="36.000000" /> (falloff min/max, lower values = brighter (slightly) & more range/bigger ground light)

Those settings above look like this in my game for the minigun. You may have to tweak them for your timecycle/night darkness etc

@a63nt-5m1th thanks for these settings and explanations

Ok ! I found the solution, this line was the cause of the problem :

<FlashFxLightCastsShadows value="false" />

it has been changed on true after installing OIV sound mod, so entirely my fault, THX for your answers !
