fixed shaded polys are not affected by spotlight at all.

I think the spot light should be enabled for everything. Spot light doesn't use normals for lighting. What do you think?

I think the same. For now I didn't notice anything "off" or strange with the scene by enabling spotlight for all.

I'll think of some test case to ultimately confirm this, however.

Harry, I've pushed your code. I made a few small changes. I put the fog calculation back inside the vertex shader. This is how the original hardware would have done it. Also cuts down the size of the fragment shader a bit, but otherwise the code is nearly identical.

Tried out emergency call ambulance, looks really fantastic. Great work !

We probably should always use the spot light regardless of the lighting value. But can look at that another night.

Thanks Ian!

I'm planning to look into the remaining issues with spotlight, specular and fixed shading, I'd like to fix them before the next release.

Resuming the old thread. Here's the latest spotlight & fog patch for r667.

- rewrote the math in a simpler way, it should be almost arcade-perfect. Fixed Dirt Devils' expert course lighting issues during night (after 2nd lap, if I recall), fixed some issues in ECA attract mode (just before the breaking screen glass effect), and maybe other games as well;

- commented vp->spotRange[0] limits hack for Star Wars Trilogy in <New3D.cpp> as it doesn't seem to improve anything now, instead breaks LeMans 24 spotlight fading distance;

Hey, sorry it's taken me longer to look at this.
Shouldn't we also be patching the scroll fog class ?

No problem

No, we don't need to do that. On scroll fog Spotlight is just an ellipse without start,extent and decay terms. The current official implementation seems correct.
