| Summary | 0006883: Windows in background of rooms, instead of outside of them | ||||
| Description | If the windows were placed in the actual background wall instead of around the edges, the rooms would feel more like buildings. During the day time, they would count as a light source. The "cave" like rooms (those in lava towers, barns etc.) would be as they are now, dark and foreboding. Office buildings would have many more windows, being actually bright during the day, but dark again at night. If the rooms are below ground, there would be no windows. | ||||

What you are describing is pretty difficulty to do with the system we are using, but it is something that I plan to do at some point at least somewhat. The exterior window things that we have now will likely remain, though. |

I hadn't even thought about it until I started really looking at them. Definitely a post 1.0 feature. |

I really don't want to derail you this close to release, but I have to ask. Feel free to not answer til you have time. What about the system you're using makes this more difficult? |

Any chance of windows making it into 1.2? :) |

My guess is that this is hard to implement because the lighting system is hardcoded to give all light sources in a chunk the same intensity, which varies with the time of day in surface chunks but not in indoor or underground ones. This, for example, would explain why Ball of Light illuminates indoor areas, but doesn't help with surface chunks at night. |
