Summary

0003202: Dynamic light size cannot be enforced by server

Description

Setting gl_lights_size to something huge, like 10, can be used to see what's happening behind walls, and is not enforced by sv_forcegldefaults.

Additional Information

Considering that even the default size of 1 can be theoretically used as a wallhack, it might be preferable to introduce a new cvar to force light size (for maps that require them) or disable dynamic lights. Something like sv_maxlightsize with a default of -1 (unlimited), 0 being force off, 1 being no larger than default size.

Notes
(0018110) jdagenet (reporter) 2017-07-28 00:45	I think it'd be better and easier to just force them on with a size of 1 if SV_ForceGLDefaults is true. Seems pointless to have a separate server variable.

(0018175) Dusk (developer) 2017-08-13 10:39	I agree, this should be tacked onto sv_forcegldefaults.

(0018190) Filystea (reporter) 2017-08-14 18:38	since my ticket was closed due to duplicate i clicked strong support tho i think your issue is different.

(0019218) StrikerMan780 (reporter) 2018-05-07 20:09 edited on: 2018-05-07 20:10	In the latest GZDoom, the ability to change dynamic light size was removed. (And for good reason.) Might as well follow that.

(0021920) Kaminsky (developer) 2021-12-17 14:44	gl_lights_size is now forced to 1.0 if sv_forcegldefaults (also known as sv_forcevideodefaults) is enabled, and cannot be changed by the client.
