Jex 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 I'm trying to create a night map on embassy for a mission I'm making. I completely new to Igor so I'm a little stuck. I have edited the .env file thruogh the Environment editor and ticked 'night' and also chosen a night sky - however when I get into the map I have the night sky but the actual map is not dark. Is this because embassy simply does not have the textures for night time? Also to save me work does anyone know where I can get a night time embassy map? Thanks in advance Jwex.

H-Hour 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Share Posted November 26, 2003 (edited) D'oh! Sorry Jex. I thought you were asking something else earlier. I could have answered this then. Turning day maps into night maps is tough because the textures usually end up too bright. One way to get around this is to turn your fog to black and then put a negative near range value. When I did this with the Plantation map I had near range set to -150 and far range set to 100. This way the fog had more then half darkened the textures at my feet. It can make things a bit fuzzy, but when I did this it worked out well enough for me. One thing to keep in mind is that if the fog is faded out over such a long distance, there will be a greater area between what the player can see and where the fog is fully faded out, so experiment with your max view distance to make sure the enemy can't see past fog. That's my recommendation. Some of the other guys here will likely have some good ideas for you. ps - Any more immediate questions, I hopped on TS. I'll be up a bit longer.

Jex 0 Posted November 26, 2003 Author Share Posted November 26, 2003 lol get back ter TG yer varmit! OK that was what I was thinking lol but I didn't realise you could put in a negative value for the fog near distance which now makes a lot more sense. I will try that at home when I get back and thanks once again H. As forr TS at work no way Sux don't it thanks ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There has been a retextured night embassy map already made. It is on the Downloads portion of GhostRecon.net The map is under Retextured levels and is entitled: "TOTAL REVERSAL" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
