Dark Skies v 1.0
« on: March 14, 2010, 11:34:48 PM »


Hi All,

This is a gift for all you nightfighters out there :D

With this small mod, you can change day to night on all the maps in the game!

Simply unpack into your MODS folder, and voila, your maps, buildings, airfields, and bridges will be 5x darker. The sky will also be clearer on most maps.

To revert them back to daylight, just rename the "CY6_Dark_Skies" folder to "-CY6_Dark_Skies".

Future releases might include darkened vehicles, artillery, and aircraft.

Now on night missions, you won't see sh*t! ;)

Update v1.1
=========

- Made trees darker.
- Made the Halifax Mk. III darker and removed the shine off the glass.

Download (version 1.1):

Checkyersix,

Thanks mate, sounds brilliant. Have not had chance to try yet, but does this stop you seeing the airfield from miles away in your "Battle Of The Rhur" map? That was the only thing i did not llike with an otherwise brilliant map.

well done mate

regards

Yes. It makes all the buildings, airstrips and bridges included, as dark as the surrounding terrain, and it applies to every map.

Only artillery, vehicles, ships, and parked a/c should stand out...which I may correct soon.

CY6,

Thanks mate you have made my day, also just read the Lanc is more or less ready, now with the release of 4.10 we will also have some nav aids. Getting closer to a night sim all the time, just need a radar.

When life gets back on track with me this will be the first really different mod to try out.

Really good idea CY6.

I've got sooo many map projects it isn't funny now and it will probably take a month to look

at them all with this great idea.

Love It.

Cheers Kirby

Here's a few screens of other peoples maps and my WIP's

Had to start off with CY6's North Korea map two summer,1 winter





A map by Agracier Madagascar



Redko's Japan Map




My WIP maps Hok/Kuril Islands




P.C.Z. (Panama)




I hope these screens will show much more of what this mod does.

I had to start with your map CY6.

Cheers Kirby
