You can, but you'd have to program it yourself into a mod.

Or: Write a shader and use that with a gamma change to emulate a headlight. It'd be only local, but it would probably work.

I was going to suggest a model, like the vweps.

Of course, it all depends on what he wants... if it's just a cosmetic change, a model would certainly work. If he wants flashlight-style functionality, then yeah, a shader'd probably do it.

Or a permanent dynlight infront of the player?

the thing that I want is a light that moves with the player and can turn of or turn on that iluminates a cone in front of you, or a weapon that do the same thing

i think a shader is pretty much your only option to have the light change/move in real time.

good luck with this - keep us all posted.

i'd start here:

my originial idea was a flashlight in the head(something similar to the headlight of the vrml in the avatar(for the people that don't know, is a programing languge for making 3d worlds)) but later I had the idea to have a flashlight, a torch or something similar, but I thinked that is much easier the first idea

well the good news is you don't need to know c++ - just opengl shader language.

the bad news its just as hard and if you can't program you're pretty much out of luck here...

stdshader.cfg - there are all shaders used in sauerbraten, ALL SHADERS (bloom, glare, shadows, shadowmap, water effects, bump maps, etc....)

Just make a command to add a dynamic light to wherever you're looking at. That's what Half-Life 1 does.

#14: A possible solution

You could try putting a dynamic light wherever the player is looking at. That's how the flashlight worked in Half-Life. It wouldn't look that good, but that's what Sauer can do right now. This ain't Doom 3.
