Night Time isnt dark enough

[Cheesytoe]

Im making a new vampirism and I want it to be much darker than just 12:00 or whatever... the only thing i could figure what to do for that would be to put a black fade... thats transparent.... but you cant see your mouse once you click to build something.. is there a way i can make it super dark like that but still be able to see my mouse when i click to build?

Thanks, Cheesytoe

You could use a fade filter when it becomes a certain time...
However, that makes it so that you cannot view the tooltips for abilities.
But, if you want it to be so dark you could do that... I mean tooltips aren't very important anyways...

Yes they are...say you learn a skill and have no idea what it does?

You can make a custom fade filter and alpha out that part ^_^

So do u mean like this:

turn on
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Cinematic - Apply a filter over 300.00 seconds using Key alpha blending on texture Black Mask, starting with color (100.00%, 100.00%, 100.00%) and 100.00% transparency and ending with color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) and 50.00% transparency

yes but he meant using a custom one which is not going black all over the screen if you don't know how look for tutorials about fade filters

 

[darkRae]

How about Fog?

 

[TheDamien]

darkRae's suggestion seems best. Fog is much better than a fade filter for these things.

 

[Cheesytoe]

but if i do a custom, like of a black screen, can you still build things while in that fade, during the whole game or not?

 

[Slapshot136]

id go with like some fog effect, maybe editing the model on that demonic storm thing and making it be like black

If you want your map dark you'll love this

call SetDayNightModels("","")

But it makes the hole map dark so you will only see your units body and no lightning, to add some light make him hold like a torch and an attached effect

Here is an Example with no TORCH EFFECT

Sorry for Double Posting

and to end the darkness effect

call SetDayNightModels( "Environment\\DNC\\DNCAshenvale\\DNCAshenvaleTerrain\\DNCAshenvaleTerrain.mdl", "Environment\\DNC\\DNCAshenvale\\DNCAshenvaleUnit\\DNCAshenvaleUnit.mdl" )
