Description

This mod adds (not replaces) several new nightime skydomes/Environmental Lighting Maps to both the Tactical and Avenger map. This mod will change the lighting of the tactical map, when these maps are present. Note that this is a separate mod for those who want darker nights.

If you have issues with this mod or spotted a bug, please report it in the Bug Report Thread. If you want to provide feedback, whether its good or bad, then post in the General Feedback Thread.
If you are thinking of downvoting this mod, please provide feedback first, so I know what I should improve on/did wrong.

WHAT THIS MOD ADDS

Nightime - Clear and Overcast
More Rain maps at Nightime - Heavy Rain and Snow. They contain ambient noises (Rain and Wind).

KNOWN ISSUES

The Rain/Snow maps are disabled in the Avenger Basecape view. I'm pretty sure that the rain and snow will clip through the Avenger.

TODO

Fix some bugs, if any.
Port more skydomes (Nightime Skydomes mostly)
Add more weather varieties. (Heavy rain/snow at daytime, Hurricane weather)

COMPATIBILITY

It's compatible with all map mods, since it adds (NOT REPLACES) Environmental Lighting maps.

CREDITS

Textures:

CGSkies for the panoramic sky textures.

Material/Map Assembly/Misc:

E3245 for assembling the maps and materials for this mod.
Robojumper for figuring out post processing, and Color Lookup Tables.

I can confirm the reason for the blank skyboxes is caused by file paths linked to some assets from the other mod: More Environmental Lighting Maps.

Everything works correctly with both mods enabled at the same time.

If you still do not want to have the active maps from the other mod, you would need to delete the relevant config lines on the XComMaps.ini file.

On Wotc, Ver 1.001 bug comes back, skyboxes not loading causes maps to be pitch dark.If you want weather mods stick to Aquilio's Weather Pack, Tunnel & Abandoned Lighting Maps, and DLC lighting Maps.
