Torches not glowing

[Ramza]

It's all good right after I load the map, but once I scroll around for a while, most of my torches stop glowing (see the bottom torch in the screenshot).

I was wondering if anyone knows what could cause this?

The map's got 172 torches. Is there perhaps a limit to the amount of light sources?

I think there's two kinds of torches, one that glows and another that doesn't.

Oh and gratz on the 2501th post =P.

Yeahh, +2 rep. x)

But, on-topic: No, they both glow. Try it out.

Actually the (Glowing) one lights a large area around it, on both day and night, as of the normal one, it works only at night and lights much smaller area.

 

[Ramza]

Ah, didn't know that. But still, it's night in my picture, and one of them isn't glowing (like most torches on my map).

When I add torches in my map almost none of them will glow. I don't know what causes this bug, could it be that I first had water level and only raised the ground too high or something?

 

[Ramza]

Hm.. That could be it. I did fool around with cliff and water levels a bit.
But there's got to be a way to fix it.

Also, when I move around the few torches that do glow, they stop glowing as well. :I

maybe it has something to do with the position and things around the torch??... btw, upload a non-tga pic so that we wont have to download the pic... ^^

It does have to do with positions. The few torches that do glow, only glow at that exact spot. Once I move them a bit to the left or right, they stop glowing immediately. It's really weird...

I know it'll glitch when there are too many light sources on one square of terrain, but even single torches won't glow.

Fixed the pic, by the way. x)

I think that's a game problem, I also encounter them sometimes...

This is interesting. I have a smiliar problem:

Do you have any bigger lights on your map than the torches?
Because for me it works fine (even with scrolling), as long as all lights have the same intensity. (I have only 20 or so though)
If I add smaller lights, only those disappear after scrolling around.

//E: I found a good solution!
