Cave Lighting Change

Description
I always found the lighting in the underground too bright and don't get me started on the salmon hue. The solution was obvious, if you don't like it change it! So I did, and now you too can enjoy my interpretation of what a giant cave system lit by magma and luminescent fungus should look like.

1.1 update: Made my own lighting profile instead of using one in the game files. Tweaked up the bloom so the lava and shrooms actually glow a bit and changed the directional light so you can see small details a bit better. I'll add more images as I find nice areas during play.

Thanks for the mod! Is it still working?

Hey thx for the reply. Another modder gave me this link and it worked great: http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/view/529328279 (all you have to do is insert the steam page url into the link, dl it, put it in the right folder, and your done)
Tested your mod yesterday and it was good. I always thought it was dumb how bright caves are...atleast they don't have trees growing in them like the last game

Sure I can throw it up on Nexus, though the AoW3 section seems pretty dead.

While granted its both an old post and for a different game you might check out this thread over on the Torchlight 2 forums.

It details two methods for getting Workshop mods without owning the game on steam. While I have no idea if they work it might be worth giving a try as plenty of good mods on here seems to be abandoned. It would be a shame to lose out on access to some of them if the auther can't or won't upload them elsewhere.

Anyways, hope that helps, and as said above I'll throw my stuff up in the meantime.

Mod looks cool, could you upload it to Nexus? Bought AOW3 on sale from GOG, but steam workshop doesn't let you download files unless you bought the game from them.

I can be a dwarf now and not be annoyed by the lighting 10/10

Definitely a fan of the orange tint removal, but it is a little too dark for me. Certain terrain features are nearly impossible to spot.

Beautifull!

Love this mod but was wondering if it was possible to increase the lighting just slightly as it can be hard to see things

Needed some time to get used to it, but would not want to miss it now. Maybe better than the vanilla lighing, definitly different.
