Making my map darker

[Exide]

Hello.

Is there a way to make my map much darker?
I am already using the 'Night' -Time of Day, and it isn't dark enough.


I would also like to know if there's any sky boxes like roofs?
I am making a FPS-map (sort of), and would like to simulate an In-Door feeling.

Lightning Editor -> Colorization
Pretty much all the values there are able to make your map darker in one way or another, the most important one is Brightness.

I don't think that there's a roof like looking skybox. Raising some floor doodads should do the job though.

You can go to Window - Lightning and then set everything to black...

And if that's not enough, you can use fade in/fade out with 50% transparency (or more) in the trigger editor.

Ah nice, thanks.
I found out that you can't use any actions such as

Environment - Change the light used for time of day lighting to Agria Night

for this to work, though.

What floor doodads would be good for using as a roof?

Hard to say without knowing what exactly you have in mind since it depends on the rest of the indoor terrain, a metallic roof would look weird inside an old temple for example.

 

[Exide]

Indeed.
I have a space platform, so something metallic should work.

I tried the doodad 'Installation Roof', but when looking from underneath it it's all see-through. (Only the edges are visible.)
Maybe there's some way to pitch it so it's up-side-down?

 

[2-P]

No, you can't pitch doodads.

Just took a quick look, the potentially useful doodads I found are Carbon Marine Block, Crate, Scrap Cube and Tarsonis Hangar.

Carbon Marine Block looks great from underneath. :thup:
Too bad I can only scale it 500%. -I will have to use a couple of houndreds to cover my map.

I couldn't find Scrap Cube or Tarsonis Hangar.

Carbon Marine is my favourite as well. ^^
You can change the base size of a doodad under Models, the fields are called Scale Maximum/Minimum. Just make sure that Maximum and Minimum have the same value, if they have different values the doodad will randomly change its scale everytime you try to change its size.


Oh lol, sorry about that. When I noticed that there are a TON of "hidden" models (and units that should be doodads) I started some kind of UTM which has all those models as doodads and now I can't tell the originals and the new ones apart.
The Scrap Cube isn't that good anyway, but the Hangar is pretty nice.
The model path is Assets/Doodads/TarsonisHangar/...
