I hate OpenGL coronas.

[BlueZero4]

Keep in mind I'm just trying to slap together an OGL-only sun for some areas of NSZ2. If it's complicated, I'm probably not going to use it.

Albeit this is just a minor quirk, the light source used in Starlit Warehouse appears to spawn on the ceiling. And stick there unconditionally.

The main problem is that the corona fades away after a short distance. Again, wouldn't be a problem, except you're supposed to be able to see the thing at about 3,000 fracunits away, which should be a reasonable distance.

Any suggestions?

I have NO idea how to use Light Source Things properly. Not to mention that the computer I run can't run OpenGL properly.

Well, the tutorial said that when it's corona light (not dynamic) is very large, it can get very bright.

OpenGL coronas have an incredibly short range for absolutely no reason. Senky and I ran into the problem awhile back, but I don't think we ever really found a solution.

You can make them incredibly large, but then it'll look really bad up close. =P But yeah. You can't see coronas that far off.

Can you see Coronas outside the map?

 

[Sky Ninja]

If you can't see them from far away, I doubt you could through the thok barrier.

Well then, I guess it's hopeless. Thanks guys.

I don't know about that. I've used some extremely bright openGL coronas, and they were visible through a raised sector, so it might work with a thok barrier, too.
