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. :hmmm:

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".

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. :know:

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

:huh: 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...
