Darker Boundaries?

[GreeN!X]

hey guys, kinda wondering, is there any more ways to make the terrain within covered with boundaries (black part at the edge of the map for those who don't know) "darker"? I mean, is there any other ways to make the terrain just appear black-er to the player other than using abyss tile or doodads??

Use glows?

Sorry kinda slow.. what do you mean by glow? *mental block here

 

[UndeadImmortal]

Like this glows.

Why wouldn't you use doodads or tiles?

for tiles... well just use the abyss but for doodads i recently saw a nice one. you get 1 doodad, any (i choose a house doodad), RGB all to 0 and then you place it, once placed you can edit it and get a flat item, which serves well as a wall.

kinda conserving doodads coz my map uses a bunch of them.. well almost all of the content are doodads and I really don't want to resort on using newgen WE just for the doodad limits... I also liked to have more variations to my terrain pallet.. well anyways, the abyss tile will have to do for now..

Still you can opt to remove the boundaries, if you do that the end of the map is a lot darker.. try it

Oh, and BTW, the boundaries aren't just found on the edges of the map.. it's kinda like hmmm, dunno how to explain it but it's also an cover of an indoor area..

I think you guys might understand it better with pictures than my explanations.. [attached] ingame, tiles covered by boundaries are too visible. and I'm kinda having a hard time using Abyss tiles with my weird doodad placement...

 

[Lightskin]

umm.. for such a detailed job every good terrainer uses doodads, there is no way else i'm afraid :/

 

[GreeN!X]

Well, thanks anyways.. +rep to you both..

You could use

• Custom script: call SetDayNightModels("","")

And place custom lights everywhere.

I could try that.. hmm, that is set at init right?

Yes.

Just keep in mind, it will greatly change lighting in your map.

so you want darker boundaries?

you have an option.
Import the black tile from Aegaeus
