I guess that would depend on what kind of shoes stepped in it. :sly: I think using a decal in that type of situation is probably the best idea as oppose to using a brush with a modified version of the floor texture being used.

https://s26.postimg.cc/voafsyevd/light_gem.jpgThis is a light gem pack I have been working on. I'm not sure if I'm happy with it, so I thought I would ask the good people of TTLG for an opinion. Originally, I had been working on a personalised gem with my user name on it!
I've tried to stay close to the original with this. The texture sizes are possibly a little too big (that can be changed) considering the gem itself is quite small. These are drop in replacements.
Anyhoo..can you give this a go and tell me what you think, please? As I've said, it's very much a work in progress.
On another topic..today I successfully edited this thread's title! Huzzah!

Edit: Updated Zip. Missing file replaced. All files are in one folder.

Awesome! I'll definitely try those light gems out. Thanks Purgator!

Cheers John! This is only a demo, I will have to tweak it here and there.
Edit: I've had to update the zip file, as I forgot a texture. Also, all files are in one folder now.

I'm trying to learn about making your own light gem, and your package helped me get a idea, so thank you. But I notice crytex 17 is the darkest, you can almost not see the gem, but I can never get that dark even if I put my amb light to 0. Does it not ever go to 17? Where did that number come from?

Give yourself or something near you a light with negative brightness and see if it goes down to crytex17.

That would be interesting but it didn't work. I went 0 on amb, then closed off myself into a cube with a torch with neg 200. Light gem looked the same as I was just in the dark. About level 11. Eitherway, it paves the way to learn more. Thank you Purgator!

Try invisibilty?
It sets the light to 0.

Thanks gamophyte!

I'm just trying to figure out the textures myself. I copied whatever LGS had in their folder, to be honest, and made my own set based on that number. If you want to find a source picture for a gem, type 'Baguette gem stone' into your favourite search engine.

Yeah I figured that's what you did, but now it makes me curious, like maybe they had more levels and AI response originally planned.

Awesome advice, I wouldn't ever have known what that was called. My first attempt though I was going to actually shine a light through a crystal I have here at home, just to see how good it might come out. If it's awesome, I have some other steampunk-ish ideas for insetting it. Will post at WIP thread, hope I'm not spamming, just fun to share.
