IrrBMAX and lights?

Hey ive been toying with IrrBMAX for a little while (thanks Gman) and its awesome ive got my mesh loaded in and started learning my way around irrlicht prety good. My question though is with the following code I cant seem to get a light to show up and shine onto this model (terrain.B3d)

Strict

Import BRL.StandardIO
Import gg.IrrBMAX

Include "B3DLoader.bmx"

Global node:T_irrISceneNode


Type MyEventReceiver Extends T_irrIEventReceiver

	Method OnEvent:Int(event:T_irrSEvent)

		If (node<>Null And event.getEventType()=EET_KEY_INPUT_EVENT And event.getKeyPressedDown()=False)
			
			Local key:Int=event.getKeyInputKey()
					
			Select key
				Case EKEY_KEY_W
					'Move Forward
					
					Return True
				Case EKEY_KEY_S
					'Move Backwards
					Return True
					
				Case EKEY_ESCAPE
					End	
					Return True
					
				Default
					Return False
			EndSelect
		EndIf

		Return False
	EndMethod

	Function generate:T_irrIEventReceiver()
		Return T_irrIEventReceiver(New MyEventReceiver)
	EndFunction
EndType

End If

device.drop()

anyone?

greetings ckob :) first off, i notice you are specifically setting the lighting to off for the model material:

node.setMaterialFlag(EMF_LIGHTING,False)

try changing that False to True. next, i notice you are using a .B3D model. i think we should narrow it down to either the Irrlicht engine or the B3D loader. could you try a non-B3D model and see what happens?

Yeah it's something to do with B3d models. I loaded a 3ds and changed false to true and it worked out fine. While ive got your attention in that code how can I make the rendering distance farther? the model is getting cut off I tried using

Local camera:T_irrICameraSceneNode=smgr.addCameraSceneNodeFPS(Null,100.0,20.0,-1,Null,True)
camera.setnearvalue(1)
camera.setfarvalue(1000)

i think you are doing it correctly although your #s may be a bit off. the default value for setfarvalue is 2000.0 so i would try something obscenely large like 10000.0 and see what happens.

well after testing it a little more I only have a problem with B3d for some reason.
