New skysettings for some maps

[BigBang]

Fallujah change looks good. Changes on Silent Eagle etc. why not but there is something Mineral pointed out. On the other hand why not to make one map e.g. alt version with different skysettinggs and skybox

sky.con = infinite possibilites.


Who even cares about confusion.

Dark maps like Silent and Yamalia get repetitive real real quick. You change the sky and you have a brand new atmosphere, you know?

[Heavy Death]

Fallujah really would need this rework. I like Silent Eagle's cold murky weather. Not all maps should be bright sunny day. War is fought in all conditions.

actually it's sky.con + groundhemi.dds

I'm absolutely for multipule light settings per map, just difficult to do if lightmaps don't match acceptably or the groundhemi isn't done as well

sbeneh night hurts my eyes, it's headache inducing.

It seems any light values between twilight and night, are just too hard for the eyes to adjust. Especially when the squad leader is going from a day map to check position on the map, to a twilight screen to orient themselves, its very distracting.

I'd also make the moonlight on fools road night brighter to simulate ocular adaptation to darkness.

Looks away better with the new colors, totally love it !!

how much until the update that is going to give us Full weather and light control?

[arm-off-please-help]

Silent Eagle used to have a nicer Sky in a earlier Version.
I wouldnt mind if all sky's would change with every update.

..or even better "Full weather and light control" if that is possible at all..

[Heavy Death]

Time cycle was done as a proof of concept, but ground shadows are baked to the ground and objects, so they cannot move. Weather... highly doubt it.

[SHADOWNET]

WOW! I remember doing a night sky for Muttrah City back in the day, this is nice, maybe these should be applied on the LARGE or ALT layers?

the update which contains the magic words "ENGINE SWITCH"

Perhaps the coders could make a script to rotate between different sky.con + groundhemi.dds settings on a single map deppending on the time of the server / how long has the match been going.

Mappers would add "sky1.con" "sky2.con" "sky3.con" to their map files and the script would switch between them at XX amount of time. (like every 20 minutes) =)

YES! and they should add in dynamic lightmaps too!

[Fastjack]

Question about lights in bf engine.

Can you add a lightsource to an object? I mean a lightsource that lighting up the map or parts of it?
The signalpistol i saw once here, how is that done?

Guys, I understand this is a Joke post, but just in case... I think that if we wanted to play games with 100 meters viewdistances we would be playing Quake 1 and not PR.

A great part of the PR experience is to be able to see engagements taking place at a very long distance, only then you can really appreciate the grandness, scope and strategies taking place in PR.

Having viewdistances like this turns PR into a COD like corridor shooter expecience where you must rely solely on your map to really understand what is going on on the battlefield.

I am not against weather effects... but temporal ones not the whole time/whole map and certainly not as strong as this one...

No modern "smart" army would fight on such conditions where their advantages (scopes/long range weapons) are rendered completely useless by the weather. It is like fighting with torches under heavy rain
