I would like to add a few more objects throughout the game just to give it a bit more dynamics, but I did at least get the ceilings and lighting mostly to where I want them.  <br><br>I also added some lights to the lava room to help give the walls a red\/orange glow. I used 4 point lights to accomplish this.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"725\" src=\"https:\/\/wildtechgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-34-1024x725.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildtechgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-34-1024x725.png 1024w, https:\/\/wildtechgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-34-300x212.png 300w, https:\/\/wildtechgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-34-768x544.png 768w, https:\/\/wildtechgames.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/image-34.png 1500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bug Fixing:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I was able to finally fix the web bug. There was still a &#8216;plane&#8217; existing in the level editor after the original web burned away. Simply deleting the plane fixed the issue.  I remember doing this exact thing before, so I think this was another regression in Unreal Engine, likely related to a recovery of files during a crash.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m slowing down on actually following the tutorial videos since I&#8217;ve spent more time on my own just updating things throughout the game.  Next up will be adding some cinematics and new camera work and then more dynamic lighting work.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"My Unreal Engine Learning Journey \u2013 Day 44 \u2013 Lava Texture, Lighting, Bug Fixing\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dWvLnShxAJU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><br><\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Introduction: Finished up some more lighting, fixed a web bug and updated the first area&#8217;s floor to look like lava.
