Actually, they aren't being covered by it' -- it's a side effect of doing an Additive blend with the lasers. An additive blend takes the source and adds the destination to it, which makes it whiter where two colors overlap. The effect looks really cool, and would look markedly less clear if it wasn't around. With the electric floors, the problem is that those are already extremely white, and thus the addition of the additive-blended line above it causes it to hardly change at all. I tried darkening the electric floors, but they have to get pretty dark before this can really be visible, and even then it's very subtle. And then the electric floors look much less impressive. It is possible to turn off the additive blending in the code, and I tried that and of course then the lines are very visible. But without their blending, the lines look... well, pretty cruddy, to be honest. It kind of creates an impasse, and I think the current situation is what looks best all around. |
