    Wow...how has this not been stickied yet?? I'm attempting my very first custom interior and without this, I would never have been able to even think about trying it.

    You can add localized light sources which are bright enough to lit a room all right. The objects are not listed as light sources thou.

    Do you have any idea which ones produce light?

    spark effects

    light rays

    swirling particles

    those have light effects. Not an all inclusive list, but it's a start.

    Some light fixtures have weak light efects associated, but not all mostly the ceiling lights.

    This would be easier to test if we could do a proper blackout map.

    Very close. I have been using plasma leaks as light sources for more than a year. They are quite bright. Even if you hide them inside the ceiling. They have a distinctive sound but they are still the best option for localized lights..

    I'm creating a custom map and need it to be just the captain. I already know about using the corners and all that. But I was wondering if there were other ways?

    If you are talking about removing the away team? Check this video out on how to make them vanish.

    Not my work or video by the way.

    I was tinkering today and realized that the Argelius (Treasure Trading station) map has a HUGE void that you can do whatever you want in. Behold: http://marhawkman.deviantart.com/#/d5rvl6j

    Technically speaking, this is a "dead" topic and shouldn't be posted in...

    But I'm wondering whether it ought to be stickied, instead. How current is the tutorial with the present state of the Foundry?

    If it's not too outdated (and I can't imagine that it is) I think I'd like to recommend to BranFlakes that this get stickied.

    The guide is pretty current. I only made it at the end of last year. I don't think anything major has changed in regards to any of the topics covered in it. I would be very pleased if it were stickied as I believe it would help a lot of people. :cool:

    I vote for it to be stickied too... I'm just starting out on creating foundry missions and I'm finding it quite helpful and informative so far. I'm sure others much like myself will feel the same way!

    Thanks Nagorak for your time, effort and some pretty awesome tutorials! ;)
