Turn On The Lights - Rosana's Garden Lamp Conversion

[misty_fluff]

The lamp comes in two versions: with brown glass (picture above) and gray glass (picture below); the gray glass is a little bit more transparent. You can only have one lamp version in your game as both versions share the same GUID.
Also, the lamp needs Mansion&Garden.  I tried to make it basegame compatible for those who don't have that stuff pack

Ohh, I love this lamp so much! Thank you for converting it!

You're very welcome.
By the way, lamps are the objects I have lots of difficulties to get my head around. The way they are build just isn't logical to me. %)

Agreed! Why they need different subsets for the inside and outside of the shade is beyond me. I've noticed that the base game lamps are the worst in that regard though so you probably had the right idea to clone something from a later EP. I have a lamp that's been a thorn in my side for months so I'm going to try it out. :)

You're right, the base game lamps are the most illogical devices, there's even a table light that hasn't got a lighting source attached to it. Go figure! :D
I also wonder why almost all of the lamps that have bulbs don't illuminate that bulb but only the shade around it. But then, I'm only a hobbyist, not a professional computer designer. One can only do so much without proper knowledge. Anyway, I'll root for you to get your lamp working.

Edit: My half-baked theory on the shade enigma is that by separating the shades they can have different values in the TXMTs, so that when lighted the inside shade looks brighter than the outside shade. For example, if you compare the lit shade inside with that of the lit shade outside, you'll see that they have different glow colors, defined by the values in the stdMatDiffCoef and stdMatEmissiveCoef. What else there might be to it, I have absolutely no idea. :)

Of course not, just don't forget to change the GUID of the recolors as well.
