DirectX 9 materials acting weird

When I apply a material that has a specular values, my cube (wich is made from multi colored vertices) turns pure yellow/green.

Here is my light:

Code:

	eng.SetLighting(true);
	eng.GetDevice()->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SPECULARENABLE, true);
	eng.GetDevice()->SetRenderState(D3DRS_SPECULARMATERIALSOURCE, D3DMCS_MATERIAL);
	
	
    LIGHT light;
    ZeroMemory(&light, sizeof(light));
    light.Type = D3DLIGHT_POINT;
    light.Position.x = 0;
    light.Position.y = 5;
    light.Position.z = 0;
    light.Diffuse.r = 1;
    light.Diffuse.g = 1;
    light.Diffuse.b = 1;
    light.Diffuse.a = 1;
    light.Attenuation0 = 1;
    light.Range = 20;
    
    light.Specular.r = 1.0f;
	light.Specular.g = 1.0f;
	light.Specular.b = 1.0f;
	light.Specular.a = 1.0f;
    
    eng.LightAdd(0, light);
    eng.LightEnable(0, true);

eng is my engine, and there are NO errors, it runs just fine.

Here is my material:

Code:

	MATERIAL mat;
	ZeroMemory(&mat, sizeof(mat));
	
	mat.Specular.r = 0.5f;
	mat.Specular.g = 0.5f;
	mat.Specular.b = 0.5f;
	mat.Specular.a = 0.5f;
	mat.Power = 20.0f;
	
	buf.SetMaterial(mat);

Where buf is my vertex buffer, and yes the material is loaded and applied, I already tested that.

The problem is, if I take away the buf.SetMaterial(...) line of code it works fine but without the specular effects. Any idea why this is happening?

I have now found out that this single line of code:

Code:

light.Specular.g = 1.0f;

in my light is making everything Green/Yellow (It looks yellow to me).

I tried october and december releases of directx 9 to make sure it wasn't a bug and it happened with both versions.

Sorry for triple post but I got pics now. The first pic is what it looks like with the line of code and the second is what it looks like without that line of code.

EDIT: I just figured out that the shinyness that you see in the pic is only on the blue sides. If I change those sides to anouther color that shinyness won't happen and it will be green.
..

The power is too high.

Ok I did a quick test, I turned power to 0 (I even tried 0.0f) and it did the same exact thing.

For your material make sure you specify the other properties. Diffuse, Ambient, and Emissive all play a role in the final equation.

I set them all. I tried all to 1 than all to 0 than difuse at 1 the rest at 0. (non of these tests count changing the specular value).

I'm now wondering if anyone can show me there code to do this. Both light and material.

I feel stupid now, it was my engines fault! I accidently incorectly used pointers. And I am good with pointers too, they never trubled me from the start so why now!?

Anyways it is all fixed now, thanks for your help. Although it makes me wonder what it really was doing to get those weird effects.
