FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I've noticed that MESE ore has light problem in some circumstances (depending on the direction, probably), brighter than a surrounding rock. Examples:

ATI R6870 / Win7 / MT 0.4.13 on 0.4.13 server
All right-side graphic options are ON, no filter, mipmap + aniso, 3d clouds, smooth lightning, particles, connected glass

Could be caused by the black colors in the overlay texture




Edit
oh I see what you are talking about now
thats weird.

I have this too, I can post some screenshots of when it happens if I find it again :)

Mese has been made emit light. It seems many people see this as bug, but its no bug, its intended as feature.

It looks weird in half-lit caves, but I'll have another look at it :)

ah, thanks for explanation, could this glow be more radial?

It's because nodes that emit light don't have smooth shading, while most other nodes do, like stone.

Sounds (and looks) like a bug to me

I like it, it gives Mese a more supernatural feel.

I like that glowing mese as well. AFAIK the old full blocks did glow as well.

because of how the ore looks ive made this mod: viewtopic.php?f=11&t=13094
crystals do glow but dont look weird as ore in stone does

that weird look is because ore is light source, so lit stone will never fit the other stone nodes around, theres no way to make it look the same.
