SH3 engine has no moonlight.

:hmm:

Im not sure what you mean here. Its true SH3 does not support moonlight. Ive used a trick. The Moonlight is actualy not real Moonlight. Its the reflection from the sun. Ive noticed that the sun is always rendered (also at night) but they have just elimineted its light effects. Ive reactivated just the reflection from the sun so you dont see the sunlight at night but you see a little bit of its reflection. Its not just ambient light like in the old moonlight mod. This light is now directional, you will see ships enlighted from only one side, the other remains dark.

It simulates real moonlight very good. ive noticed that the moon and the sun in sh3 are always in the same part of the sky. (you can see it if you make the sun visible at night). So even the direction of light is in most cases correct. However, sometimes you wont see the moon itself when it is under the horizon but you will still see the light. Unfortunaly there is no way around.

Id love to have the ai use the moonlight. So your crew can spot the ships sooner when they see it from the illuminated side. And on the other hand to have you take care about the moonlight direction when you meet the desision from which side you are going to attack the convoi. But this is unfrotunaly not implemented.
