i hope you figure out the point light support. I would like to try to recreate this discoball effect without using paid materials. It also used a cookie so it seems like it would be doable.

lfe updated Light Texture Plugin with a new update entry:

Point light support

If you have some Cube Map textures lying around (these are sort of like skybox style textures) then you can add these textures to a point light that shines in all directions.

You can even add a 1:1 ratio texture to a Point light - it may not look right but it will just repeat that texture on the light in all directions. Seams will be a problem but if your light texture is something like a starfield that is a tileable texture...

lfe updated Light Texture Plugin with a new update entry:

Now you can add to subscene (VAM 1.20)

new: switching light types tries to keep the same texture you have loaded
fix: you can now add this plugin to an atom in a subscene

How do I get rid of the light line or whatever out on the edges? Add black to sides doesn't seem to get rid of it.

I have run into the same issue and have not found a solution to that either.

Apologies for the interruption
I've got an invisible light in my scene that uses your plugin and loads a local JPEG image, but it's set Light off by default and needs a button to trigger it.

Everything works as it should when I run it locally.
However, when other users run my packaged var file, the texture doesn't load correctly.
One of the users sent me the following error code:

!> System.Exception: Path Custom/Atom/InvisibleLight/Textures/CGen1_002gb-lines-scale-2_00x.jpg not found
  at MVR.FileManagement.FileManager.ReadAllBytes (System.String path, Boolean restrictPath) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at MVR.FileManagementSecure.FileManagerSecure.ReadAllBytes (System.String path) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at LFE.LightTexture.SetTexture (System.String path) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0
  at LFE.LightTexture.<Init>m__7 (System.String path) [0x00000] in <filename unknown>:0

I've checked the scene JSON file and the texture path looks fine like this:

"id" : "plugin#0_LFE.LightTexture",
               "Grayscale To Alpha" : "true",
               "Add Black Border" : "true",
               "Brightness" : "-0.2703971",
               "Light Texture" : "SELF:/Custom/Atom/InvisibleLight/Textures/underwater.jpg"

I've tried changing the file name or changing it to a png mapping but it doesn't solve the problem.
After a bit of trial and error, I finally found a way to make it work.

• First save the invisible light atom as a vap preset (Have already configured it with your plugin)
• Then use LogicBricks to automatically load this preset when the scene is loaded
• After packing the var file, edit the vap preset file, change the plugin texture map path and change the 'SELF' character to the name of my package.

Once I've done that, the problem is solved!

SELF:/Custom/Atom/InvisibleLight/Textures/underwater.jpg

I'm a big fan of your plugin! Do you know of any other solutions for this?

Thank you for the reproduction steps it is very helpful. When I make some time I’ll see if so can fix this bug.
