Sky too Bright [Solved]

Master_Ben · Post by **Master_Ben** » Wed Nov 19, 2008 7:51 pm

So I changed the sky on my map (edited the existing yav tga) And all of a sudden the sky Is super- bright (so bright that the reflection makes most objects look invisible). I think it may be that the existing tga was semi transparent and this isn't, but I'm not sure.
EDIT: It isn't semi-transparency, I thought the tga was semi trans, but it isn't (checked assets)

I once took the white.tga and used it on the terrain (long story) it came out darker than it should have. It probably isn't, but could it be the type of... viewer you used to editthe file? Sometimes I think they mess up the brightness.

I don't think so, I'm using gimp.

Oh. I'll leave it to wiser minds then...

I also tried editing the .sky file and decreased the number under intensity:

Hidden/Spoiler:

[code]SkyInfo()

{

	Enable(1);

	FogColor(85,108,142,128);

	PS2()

	{

		FogRange(0, 0);

		NearSceneRange(0.5, 85.0, 100.0);

		FarSceneRange(5000.0);

		SplitOptions()

		{

			PropClusterEnable(1);

			PropClusterFadeAdj(0.6);

			PropClusterDensity(0.1);

		}

	}

	XBOX()

	{

		FogRange(-200.0, 1300.0);

		NearSceneRange(0.5, 85.0, 100.0);

		FarSceneRange(3000.0);

		NearSplitScreenRange(0.2, 110.0, 160.0);

		FarSplitScreenRange(0.0);

		SplitOptions()

		{

			FogRange(5.0, 140.0);

			PropClusterEnable(0);

		}

	}

	PC()

	{

		NearSceneRange(30.0, 160.0, 40.0, 200.0);

		FarSceneRange(5000.0, 5000.0);

		FarSceneRange(5000.0);

		FogRange(-100.0, 600.0);

	}

}

DomeInfo()

{

	Texture("sky_yav2");

	Angle(-90.000000);

	Ambient(255.000000, 255.000000, 255.000000);

	Filter(1);

	Threshold(150);	

	Intensity(10);<----this was 25

	Softness(1);

	SoftnessParam(60);

	DomeModel()

	{	

		Geometry("sky_yav2");

	}

}[/code]

It helped little.

Thanks anyway Tourny

Your welcome.

In Gimp is there a function that reduces brightness? If there is you can make it darker than you want and then it would be the way you want it.

I tried this and it worked a little(sadly not enough), and anyway I want to know how to solve this in another way so I don't have to do this. Plus I'm interested in why this is.

Ok. Good Luck.

idk what you all have concluded but the game just does this. easiest way to fix is in gimp go to colors>brightness/contrast and lower brightness. (drag bar all the way to the right) works for me.

Ok I will bring it down more than before. Problem solved.
