Something feels off in this place...
Yes. The lights.

It's kinda supposed to be dark here... but not that dark, I consider adding moonlight going from the windows.
Although I had another idea - to completely isolate interior from any light... Even default ambient one.

"Build-board"? Err, do you mean (

Also, you shouldn't use particles for effects like in your screenshot. That's what axis-locked bitmap worldspace objects are for. They do a far better job of it since they'll stay facing the player, but still remain "upright" when you get close to them.

I see. :tsktsk:I forgot about bitmap worldspace while working on that mission. I'll do it that way from now on. :rolleyes:

Look at the first word in the title of the video.

I'm not sure if that's a yes or a no. What I *am* sure of is that you put extra effort into your response to make it simultaneously less helpful and more condescending.
Do you ever pause and ask yourself: "why am I doing this?" "Is this productive?"

Don't take it personally. ZB is snarky to everyone. I believe that he meant that this is a NewDark capability. So if you are using NewDark, it doesn't matter if you are making System Shock or Thief mods.

"Snarky" seems a rather generous adjective.
I don't take it personally. I don't believe he's ever responded to a question of mine, anyhow. I still find it a bit curious that literally 100% (not hyperbole. "Literally 100%.")* of his answers can be intentionally low on helpfulness and high on condescension, and we all treat it like it's fine. It's really rather unpleasant, tbh. It's especially ridiculous in the context of the recent (completely unwarranted) vitriol directed towards Downwinder, whose only offense was loving the franschise a bit too unabashedly.
*I've only ever seen two non-rude posts by him, and neither of them were answers to other people's questions.
