I would like to adjust the Light/Dark conditions, could someone point to a link for descriptions of the different settings or point out in this example what effects Dark/Light conditions?


flares = flares_moon
sky_texture = sky\sky_13_cube_night
sky_rotation = 0
sky_color = 0.5, 0.5, 0.5
clouds_texture = sky\sky_oblaka
clouds_color = 0.030, 0.030, 0.050, 0.0, 0.1
far_plane = 300
fog_distance = 300
fog_color = 0.0015, 0.0015, 0.0015
fog_density = 0.1
rain_density = 0.0
rain_color = 0.21, 0.21, 0.27
thunderbolt =
bolt_period = 3.f
bolt_duration = 0.25f
wind_velocity = 0.0
wind_direction = 0.0
ambient = 0.01, 0.01, 0.01
lmap_color = 1.0, 1.0, 1.0
hemi_color = 0.08, 0.08, 0.08, 0.08
sun_color = 0.1, 0.1, 0.1
sun_dir = -24.0, 262
env_ambient = ambient_env_night


Thanks for any tips.

Thanks Kanyhalos.

Here what I used for all night time settings in case anyone else is intrested, this solves the too dark to see the sky. I didn't read the notes on the upgrade well enough at first to realize the Darkness was intended as a Scariness factor for OL, so if you anyone prefers the Scariness Factor you would want to avoid these settings. :boo:
However that being said damn this makes a beautiful night.

So exactly how can i use those settings? I would also like the nights to be a lot darker but not too dark so i can't see anything like a lot of mods do. It's either always too bright or too dark.

So can i just edit those factors in the weather file and paste it to my gamedata folder and it should make the nights darker? Which database file is it located in?
