Converted terrain is dark and refuse to lighten up [Solved]

Post by Nedarb7 »

The topics title says it all. I converted Rhen Var but the terrain is
dark an will not lighten up even if I lighten the texture itself.

It might be somewhere in here:
Hidden/Spoiler:
Effect("ColorControl")
{
Enable(1);
WorldBrightness(0.46);
WorldContrast(0.48);
WorldSaturation(0.65);

PC()
{
GammaBrightness(0.6);
GammaContrast(0.7);
GammaHue(0.0);
GammaColorBalance(0.5);
}
}

Effect("Godray")
{
Enable(1);

MaxGodraysInWorld(300);
MaxGodraysOnScreen(8);

MaxViewDistance(80.0);
FadeViewDistance(70.0);
MaxLength(40.0);
OffsetAngle(0.0);

MinRaysPerGodray(3);
MaxRaysPerGodray(6);
RadiusForMaxRays(2.0);

Texture("fx_godray");
TextureScale(0.75, 0.1875);
TextureVelocity(0.0, -0.1, 0.0);
TextureJitterSpeed(0.05);
}

Effect("Water")
{

// general parameters
PatchDivisions(8,8);
Tile(2.0,2.0);

// ocean parameters
OceanEnable(0);

// water event parameters
WaterRingColor(148, 170, 192,255);
WaterWakeColor(192, 192, 192,255);
WaterSplashColor((192, 192, 192,255);

// PS2 parameters
PS2()
{
LODDecimation(8);
Velocity(0.1,0.02);
MainTexture("Rhn_water.tga");
MinDiffuseColor(32, 40, 32, 255);
MaxDiffuseColor(128, 130, 128, 255);
BorderDiffuseColor(160, 160, 160, 255);
SpecularColor(192, 192, 192, 192);
SpeckleSpecularColor(160, 160, 160, 255);
SpeckleAmbientColor(0, 0, 0, 255);
SpeckleTextures("water_specularmask_",25, 2.0);
SpeckleTile(4.0, 4.0);
SpeckleScrollSpeed(0.2,0.0);
SpeckleCoordShift(10.0,10.0);
LightAzimAndElev(1.0,0.0);
}


// XBOX parameters
XBOX()
{
Velocity(0.01,0.002);
LODDecimation(1);
DiffuseColor(128, 130, 128, 64);
NormalMapTextures("water_normalmap_",16,8.0);
}


// PC parameters
PC()
{
Velocity(0.01,0.002);
MainTexture("yav_water.tga");
SpecularMaskTile(4.0,4.0);
SpecularMaskScrollSpeed(0.2,0.0);
LODDecimation(1);
DiffuseColor(128, 130, 128, 64);
NormalMapTextures("water_normalmap_",16,8.0);
BumpMapTextures("water_bumpmap_",16,8.0);
SpecularMaskTextures("water_specularmask_",25, 2);
}

}
Effect("Blur")
{
Enable(1);
Mode(1)
ConstantBlend(0.45)
DownSizeFactor(0.2500)
}
but I'm not sure. Any ideas?

Have you tried burning the terrain? Click the "Image" button in the upper righthand corner of ZE to reveal this option.

You might also get something with ZE's color tab.

Okay I'll try it out and see how it goes.

-EDIT-
Burning the terrain didn't work.
One thing I noticed is when I open a default map (plain with nothing on it) and
go into light mode and turn "real lightning" off the terrain gets brighter but when I do
the same on Rhen Var it stays the terrain stays the same and the objects lighten
like they should.

It could be something to do with the colors,.

If you paint the terrain white in ZE, it should remove all the non-texture colors.

I've tried that. Its strange that the terrain will not lighten up when I make the textures brighter in GIMP. :?

I'll try changing these lines:
Effect("ColorControl")
{
Enable(1);
WorldBrightness(0.46);
WorldContrast(0.48);
WorldSaturation(0.65);

Is the .ter file set to Read-Only for some reason? Or is your lighting just really dark?

It was at first until I tried saving because it wouldn't let me.
I don't think the lighting is dark because there are no lights.

No lights? That's a problem there. You should give the map lighting. Lighting is one of the things that don't convert over from SWBF1.

Okay I'll try adding some lights.

-EDIT-
Well the light only affected the objects which means the terrain is sticking to a dark color that will not change for some reason. :?

Now that you actually have lighting, burn the terrain.
