Night time effect?

Cranium · Defense Minister **Joined**: 05 Dec 2009 **Location**: USA

Is there a way to make it look like it's night time in a map? If yes, could someone be kind enough to tell me what I need to do?
I've look at a few threads, but couldnt find one that actually said anything about making a map have a night time look.

You just have to change the map's lighting to reflect that time of day.

Adjust these values.

[Lighting]
Red=1.000000
Blue=1.000000
Green=1.000000
Level=0.032000
Ground=0.000000
IonRed=1.000000
Ambient=1.000000
IonBlue=1.000000
IonGreen=1.000000
IonLevel=0.032000
IonGround=0.000000
IonAmbient=1.000000
DominatorRed=0.850000
DominatorBlue=0.300000
DominatorGreen=0.200000
DominatorLevel=0.000000
DominatorGround=0.000000
DominatorAmbient=1.500000
DominatorAmbientChangeRate=0.009000

It can also be done with map triggers for night day effect.

Also note that brightness on multiple screens is important

A map might be dark on your lcd monitor, but tottally pitch black and dark on a laptop screen.

Be careful!

Whats with the 'Dominator...', I dont see that at my FA2. I see 'Lightning Storm' not the Dominator tags. I assume they are the same?

FA2 never got updated with a lot of the YR stuff. You have to set it manually in the map itself.
