Make the Night Darker?

[warcraftmodding123]

How do I use triggers to control the brightness of the night time?

 

[pOke]

What do you mean by that? I don't know much about the lighting between day and night (although I wasn't aware there was much too know), but isn't the only thing that changes is unit vision?

Are you wanting units to have less vision at night?

native SetDayNightModels takes string terrainDNCFile, string unitDNCFile returns nothing

see by WE generated main functions in the war3map.j when you change light environment in the map options.

You can also try with filters and fog it's pretty easy, but doesn't give very realistic effect.

Arrr this is what I want, but it can't be done with ordinary WE?

This can be done without importing any models

 

[pOke]

Yeah, take a look at what Arr provided. You just need to

call SetDayNightModels("","")

Then add your torches to provide light.

WC3 default day/night models are insanely bright. It is possible the development team messed up the colour management pipeline.

Each 4*4 tile chunk and mesh is limited to 8 different light sources. When under the affect of more than 8, WC3 automatically selects which 8 to use even if the choice might not be optimal. Day/night model probably counts as at least 1 light source.
