Thanx, mohaa_rox, for the ad. I wouldn't call it 'exellent'

, I just thought, it could be of some use for one or the other!

I tried the tutorial inside my map, but it seems like the light beam would look better in an outdoor map.

I've used them inside a large storage room and found them okay. Send a screen or tell me what is wrong with them.
I wouldn't say, they're perfect but maybe we could change something quickly?!

you can find volumetric white texture and edit that for your light beam it already has the dust texture etc just adjust the $whiteimage alpha settings try rgbGen constant .1 .1 .1 and give the beam a custom name

one more thing adjust the scale of the dust for a better effect try

tcMod scale 100 100 in the shader
