Aighty... for my torch, if it were multiplayer no one else would be able to see it unless a message were sent to them telling them where to put it. I dont have a need for that so I dont do it.
Also what it looks like to me is that your dlight is HUGE. That is why the effect is weird. (Im going on the client side here) In my last example of how I allocated the dlight: dlight_t *dl = gEngfuncs.pEfxAPI->CL_AllocDlight (2); There is a property of dl called radius. dl->radius that I set later down the line that changes the size of it. On the server side when you pass the message to the client (im going by the dlight in effect.cpp around line 1660) It looks as though the 5th write, (The 2nd byte to be sent) is the radius of the dlight. If you make that smaller the overall size of the dlight should be smaller and should eliminate the effect you are looking at. Hope this helps!
