will there be uncapped or at least increased limits on light settings? kinda need projected lights to be able to go beyond 2048 farz

A quick update:
I am working on a new system for organizing content that will be implemented into my addons. I am almost finished with this system, and when I am, I will add it to this mod and then finish working on compatibility. I will then attempt to push the new update for this mod again. I should have this all done in less than a week, but only if the mod passes playtesting and is absolutely compatible with content using the old version.

is there anyway you could share the new update like make it a new workshop upload or smth? because i liked it and i kinda got sad that it got reverted

just vanilla gmod, non-source engine saves, I'm not aware of any "save" addons

I don't have a lot of experience playing around with dupes and things in sandbox, and I have spent very little time in multiplayer, so I'm out of the loop when it comes to many things. When you mention "saves" and "sets" I assume you're talking about normal gmod saves and dupes, but are you also talking about Source Engine saves, or third-party things such as other addons? Are there any other addons that I should take into consideration when working on compatibility?

Hi tau,
Thank you for reverting the ALE addon to its previous version while you work on compatibility.
If I may suggest something, have you considered uploading the new version as a 2.0 addon while renaming this one to [Legacy Version] or something along those lines?
Of course, if your new version straight-up works with all old ALE's, this wouldn't be necessary. Just an idea from a loyal user.

Your addon has helped many Gmod users make beautiful poses, posters, and animations.

but then good luck getting all 170K subscribers to get the new one... a simple check for old versions of the removed entities should do the trick no?

Could you just make the new version as a separate mod?

hey, all good! :) I can confirm the revert restores any missing light issues

I have reverted it. Let me know if any issues persist or if it somehow didn't revert correctly. I will be working on making the new version more compatible with the older content before uploading it. Sorry about the mess.

Thank you!

I will be reverting to a previous version due to all of the issues people are having! I will try to make the new version compatible with the old version before pushing the update. Sorry! Give me a little bit to get thing organized and I will revert the addon.

Great, now it's broken....

Please make the prior version available for download. The new update deleted ALL of existing lights on sets I use for my videos!

awesome update, very swag

Could we get extended values for brightness, near z and far z? Since it would be useful for bigger scenes, which would require a sky light for example.

*Suggestion* Upload a previous version of this addon under the name "Legacy" as a separate addon, so we have the choice between the versions. Thanks in advance!

Cool update, but as everyone is saying it is not compatible with already made saves. All of my saves lost the lighting using the previous version of this. :(

I don't know if steam will block this, but here

Same opinion here. Is there a way to get the version before this one back?
ALL the lamps in all my saved sceneries are gone.

And you can't produce hard shadows anymore. Which added for nice cinematic drama.
Please, give us an option to download the orginal again.

I can tell from the previous posts that a lot of people are suffering the same fate.
The CSGO rewrite was a big dissaster too.

Never completely rewrite your code as an update, nobody ever likes that. :,)

Anyone have the old version?

this update is busted , including playing with friends we cannot even edit them ?

This new update broke literally everything. Please rollback and make this re-write a new addon

finally, a update after many years

Hey great update, but old saves no longer load the advanced light entities in them

When paired with any dark spawnmenu mods the text on the settings becomes practically invisible

ARE WE BACK!?

And wow okay the new features are really cool and much appreciated!! You did a wonderful job with this, I'll see if I can do some trickery to fix my saves given I have the old version, other than that, thank you for this update

Okay well first thing I notice right off the bat is the breaking of saves with lights entities from the old version? I predicted this and archived the previous version in case, so it might not be a problem for me specifically, now I don't know if I used the now removed "alternate versions" and I dont know if something can even be done to somehow convert the removed versions inside of saves into the new versions, but yeah

Update!! I'm a singleplayer guy so I'll test it right now, I'm excited

maybe its just me but i can not see the fonts at all, like all of its white and i dont know which one is which

peak mod finally updated...

MASSIVE UPDATE! New features added, see description!
If there are any issues with this new update, please let me know immediately.

@junior298 Have you tried it?

does this work on gm_construct_13_beta ?

Could a value to change the shadow filter please be added? This is the only thing that is forcing me to use lamps instead of these lights in some scenes. Everything else is perfect.

thx

haha yes, light mod. i need it rn

Thank you so much for creating this very useful tool! Your work has been used for a Garry's Mod short film: https://youtu.be/RFC9fKK57-o

It's not showing up in the entities tab, although I have it downloaded. Have I skipped something accidentally? Any fixes?

uh, for some reason, sometimes I don't see it in entities, and sometimes I do

Don't have commands to lower the resolution of the shadows? Even if I lower the quality of the shadows, it doesn't change in these light entities, they still look sharp

i wish there was a way to replace normal lights with these

Guys, I think I found the simfphys vehicles base. It might be the real lights.

ok

"Cannot call CStudioRenderContext::AddShadows w/ proxies in queued mode!" is spammed in the console.

how to remove the arrows

is it possible to project shadows without a light source? the environment I'm working in is rather bright already, but shadows would be a great addition

some props do not have shadows, others do? https://i.imgur.com/CeyRREt.jpeg

expensive light etc have no shadows even tho the shadows option is on, also i have the shadow quality to high
