Having played a couple missions with the new night lighting, I have to say that while it looks good, it could probably stand to be a tiny bit lighter for the purposes of actually playing - if there were X-COM style flares you could create your own lightsources with that would be one thing, but when all you have is lights that are present in the map (which are few and far between on some pieces), it's pretty difficult to actually see anything.

(It doesn't help that what lights there are are typically very narrow and don't spread much, whereas real streetlights and things actually carry pretty far, but I don't know if that's something that this mod could actually tweak.)

I'll probably lighten up some of the night maps.

Hi! First of all: good work!!

2nd, 2 fixes need to be done

1 - the heavyrain night doesn't work, it doesn't rain at all and it's all pitch black like the skydome and envlight is completely missing

2 - I don't know if it is possible to change this, but i noticed that the env maps contain even sounds. This mean that vanilla env maps have different ambience sound for day and night.
Your night maps have day sounds (Birds instead of crickets), it would be nice to have the same vanilla night sounds

1 - it works for me, so I dunno what happening with your game.

2 - The only sounds are the rain and wind at night. I didn't modify the ambient soundbanks for those maps, but I'll look into it.

Have to agree with FowlJ, in the night maps I can't work out what anything is :)

Ok i disabled all mods and it worked! i think that all the presets are nice, the only thing that must be changed is the darkness of the rain\snow..really too extreme, you can try to set the darkness and use the same u used on other night presets

Aw man, I really like the dark maps, but if people don't like it, I could make them brighter.
