My crew is illuminated at night

james_nix · 07-13-15, 04:35 PM

My crew is illuminated at night. Each crew member is lit up, I guess so you can see them. I don't want each to have there own lighting system, I want them to be lit up by the same ambient light that lights ups the sub.

How do I do that?

I checked the sub .dat files but didn't see any light node. Is there another setting somewhere that I can turn off so my crew is just as dark as the rest of the sub is?

This is something I've never heard of in SH4. Could you post a screenie of this, if possible. I'd be interested in seeing it.

What are your mods? In vanilla and GFO - default environment - the nights are no so dark and the crew is visible - but not "illuminated".

Regards.

Maybe it's just my imagination, and this sub looks really dark because I am using a black skin. My crew just seems to have a glow on them. I mean, compared to say, the water or the radar masts, which looks darker.

Probably not the cause of your problem but you have some redundances and incompatibilities in your list:

TMO 25 include the Interiors mods.
If you use OTC you don't need MaxOptics and it is incompatible with OTC. You must not overwrite the file "cameras.dat".

Regards.

Tell the last one to turn the light out

I know it looks confusing, but that really isn't MaxOptics, I just used the folder to add an extra zoom to my binoculars. It uses the OTC cameras.dat

I didn't know how to do it at first so I used the MaxOptics folder to understand how it was set-up.

I didn't know that about the interiors but I believe OTC overwrites them anyway. I'll check. Thanks for the heads-up!

Lolo. "Mod Soup" much?

Anyway, judging by your posted screenshot, I don't see anything wrong. Your crew will always be a bit "visible" at night, and this would be true in real life if the moon or even just the stars are out. They won't be pitch-black or anything. Not sure what you were expecting. This is an old game, after all.

...but seriously, your JSGME urgently needs some housekeeping...
