WED sprite transparency and even map lighting

WED sprite transparency and even map lighting - 04/11/16 13:38

Hello everyone,
looks like it's me again laugh.

I have played around with my A8 WED light settings and no matter what I do, I can't achieve even lighting through my level.
I want everything to be in the same brightness and without shadows. I thought that can't be too hard, but even after playing with every option I don't understand how to do it frown .

My other question (but its minor) is the following:
I can add a sprite with transparent parts in the WED, compile the map and it works great. But inside the WED it always shows the transparency as white. Is it possible to view the transparency as transparent in the WED?

Thanks for any help laugh
Greetings YK

Select all blocks, and in their properties set 'Flat' instead of 'Shaded'.

This will disable shadow map, but will also disable dynamis lights (as far as I remember).
To keep dynamis lights, but get rid of shadow map, use shaders (that's the only way I have in mind).

No, it's not possible.

I dont like the fact that WED doesnt support transparent sprites in 2016. If you have placed 4ex hunderts of glow - sprites or whatever, u barely can see your map inside WED. Also adjusting decals is a pain in the a**.
