Ambient Lighting

dlmos · October 2008

I've been playing around with the lighting effects form the annual and have to say they are awesome! The only problem I'm having is finding a way to do ambient lighting, basically I don't want the shadows to go all the way to black but more like a 25 intensity light. Is there any way to achieve this?

Check the Global Sun options (right-click Display Speed Settings or type SUNINFO). It has values for shadow blur and transparency which affects all ambient light shadows.

That worked perfect! Set the blur to 1 and the transparency to 15 and now I've got a good night map without messing up the colors. I appreciate the help.

Ralf I could use some help in this. I played with the blur and transparency but most of the time it turns everything blue or it reduces the shadows but kills the entire light that the light source should be giving off. What am I doing wrong? I'd like to keep the lighting but reduce the how dark everything else is as I'm getting complaints that when printed its just too dark.

This (the blue coloration) seems to be a bug with the transparency setting. We're looking into it.

Ok thanks. Even if I put symbols down they turn kind of blue as well. I will try to figure out some other way of doing the lighting until the bug is fixed

Hate to commit treadcromancy but I was just curious to see if any progress had been made on the blueing bug in the transparancy setting?

The problem will be fixed with the next patch.

This is still an issue, correct?
