01:47 MTDiscord   <jordan4ibanez> Well the power is still out but, I think that it should keep it's bit data. Unless luajit does something weird with the mantissa
11:44 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Can someone verify that 5.12 doesn't respect to the glow property for particles, I was trying to implement pixie dust and I noticed it doesn't light up?
11:56 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> also strange line running thu the particle?

12:00 sfan5       thats the selection box
12:00 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Is it supposed to be rendering on top of a particle like that?
12:01 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Here's a better angle.

12:02 sfan5       dunno. but it is the selection box in all of your screenshots
12:02 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Sure
12:03 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> also do you know if particles can use the glow property, I cant get my pixie dust csm to to work?
12:04 [MatrxMT]   <Blockhead256> glow as a property of entities just removes shading, I don't think you can make it actually emit light
12:05 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> aw, why? that's bad branding.
12:05 [MatrxMT]   <Blockhead256> yeah it should be called fullbright honestly
12:05 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> now I'll never be a cute woodland creature
12:05 sfan5       particle glow works fine for me https://0x0.st/80E-.png
12:06 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> is this the expected outcome?
12:06 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/749727888659447960/1390665034253733918/2025-07-04_08_05_25-Window.png?ex=6869153d&is=6867c3bd&hm=5712f426d1114fac7a02cdd86e38862735fa33e21737411f86c247507ea6f65d&
12:06 sfan5       and no it does more than "just disable shading", you can pick how bright you want the particle to appear
12:06 sfan5       yes
12:06 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Got it, thanks
12:07 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Can it also emit a dim "glow" that effects other nodes?
12:07 sfan5       no
12:07 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> No light prop?
12:07 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Damn
12:08 sfan5       Luanti does not have dynamic lighting, only dynamic shadows
12:08 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Well let add a node and a light factory class, thanks sfan!
12:09 sfan5       (in theory that could be reused to do exact things like this)
12:09 [MatrxMT]   <Blockhead256> sorry, I was not aware of what particles can do, only the for entities it sucks
12:09 [MatrxMT]   <Blockhead256> and nodes
12:09 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Would be cool, fr
12:10 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Is it more efficient to use entities for pseudo light particles or nodes?
12:11 sfan5       particle glow and entity glow works the same tho?
12:11 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> don't entity have a light property too?
12:11 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> or is that only for nodes?
12:12 [MatrxMT]   <Blockhead256> to make light happen, it needs to be node light afaik
12:12 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Rip, okay ill make a blank.png light node then.
12:13 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Thanks!
12:13 sfan5       what you want is drawtype = "airlike"
12:14 sfan5       making something with an invisible texture will waste time rendering something that is invisible
12:14 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> Oh, okay
12:15 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> That also ruins texture culling right?
12:15 MTDiscord   <redundantcc> and then light=n
