NIGHT TO DAY /DAY TO NIGHT

[king1 0]

ok i now have made my night map and put it in my mod but

when i activate my mod it makes the original map change to night aswell

1 - how would i modify the files in my mod so it doesnt affect the orignal map ,

for example i made a night version of m01_caves

but when i activate my mod it also makes the orignal map night , i need to get the orignal day map and my night map , not 2 night maps wich i currently have lol

2 - when i make a night version of a day map

the trees are bright , and when i make a day version of a night map the trees are dark

how can i fix this so the trees are dark on he night map and the trees are bright on a day map

are there any tutorials for changing the lighting of the trees using the lighting tool? ???

can anyone shed some light on these problems plz ??

You have to use Photoshop or Paintshop Pro, Then you get the rsb plugin from the IT cd and put it in the plugins folder.

You can then edit the rsbs and make them lighter/darker and add alphas over them to give them different sounds. Like i took a grass ground texture that sounded like grass when you walked on it and turned it into snow texture with snow sound.

AH cool i have photoshop pro 9 with the rsb plugin already

but i cant use photoshop to its full extent yet lol

i have made m01 caves snowing with the ground texture as snow

, but when i try to the same for night version of caves

it comes out good, but it uses the ground texture from the snow map

i made a new ground texture for the night using photoshop renamed env file and so on

used skinner tools 1.1 to make map run run of the new named textures i have but

it still runs of the snow ground texture

i dunno why this happens

2 - when i make a night version of a day map

the trees are bright , and when i make a day version of a night map the trees are dark

Pfew... Those tools are ancient. But if I remember correctly, the trees in GR are purely dynamic vertex lit. Basically, the lighting is not stored in a texture but rather in the vertices of the mesh, and therefore inside the .MAP file.

The best you could probably do is just tweak the textures that are on the trees until they're bright or dark enough for you to use.

The darkmaps however are very much tweakable.
