I love the look of the new lighting. Glorious!

It does seem to click on and click off a bit, hopefully that's a known issue?

But my real question is -- How do I rescript my advanced automatic lamps to work? It seems that my script can't set Material to Light like it did before.

Righto!

I don't know if Lindens didn't figure this out already, but a command like "llSetLight" would be great. Like:
CODE
llSetLight(vector color, float intensity, float radius, float falloff);

Simple and straightforward.

It's been mentioned in other threads - basically there's no command at the moment but given the number of people saying "wtf" there very likely will be.

I'm guessing as part of llSetPrimitiveParms but I'm really just making that bit up.

It is our goal to have those parameters accessible through llSetPrimitiveParams, yes. Hopefully this will be complete and tested in time for 1.9.1 release.

I just tried it out in 1.9.1.13, seems light works awesome, I'll have to try to script some flex tomorrow. 8D

From: Latest release notes

* Added support for flexible object and light parameters to llSetPrimitiveParams()
** To set the light parameters of a primitive, use llSetPrimitiveParams with the keyword PRIM_POINT_LIGHT
*** USAGE:
*** llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, BOOL Enabled, Vector Color, Float Intensity, Float Raduis, Float Falloff]);
** To set the flexible parameters of a primitive, use llSetPrimitiveParams with the keyword PRIM_FLEXIBLE
*** USAGE:
*** llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_FLEXIBLE, BOOL Enabled, Integer Softness, Float Gravity, Float Friction, Float Wind, Float Tension, Vector Force]);
