what happened to rtlights?!

[RiShooty]

I've been looking for the rtlights files everywhere and i cannot find them, except the original ones included in dpmod. Romi's site is pretty much gone now. I am specifically searching for the ones made for mission packs 1 and 2.

The one included in id1 is obviously just for id1, because whenever i try to use it with mission packs 1 and 2 it makes it ridiculously dark in the beginning. Then you get into a stage and it looks correct, but it does absolutely nothing to help your framerate. I know for a fact that he made mission pack versions of them. Links? Email? Help?

I was asking the same thing in another thread, but I wasn't sure if there were ever any light files for the Mission Packs. I guess they did exist.

Proof straight from the front news page on the darkplaces website, a post that was made years ago by the creator:

"2004-01-28:

romi has completed his .rtlights file collection for Quake Mission Pack 1: Scourge of Armagon (also known as hipnotic), and for those not aware of his Quake .rtlights file collection as well, I recommend it
romi also has some videos in the works to show his lighting creations better than the screenshots do.
(If anyone doesn't remember, to experience an rtlights file it must be placed in the maps directory, make sure in the Video Options menu that you are in 32bit color mode (sorry this can't be done on a 3Dfx Voodoo1/2/3/Rush/Banshee), load up the map you want, and then simply type r_shadow_realtime_world 1 in the console, enjoy. Maps without rtlights files are often slower and less colorful.)"

Actually, I guess we are both looking for different files. I'm looking for .lit files for the Mission Packs (which may not exist). I failed to notice the .rtlights in your original post for some reason... My bad.
