BTW, in my last post I did a typo:
"I don't like the lack of two levels of zoom, but I like to see the sea waves at full scale, and not a flat sea, so I think I'll try to use the Special version if I can (instead of can't  ) get rid of the dark look. " |
Yes, han did a great deal of work on it. The WAC3 sunlit daytime environment sometimes looks much better than OLCE2 even to me. I get a bit jealous!
Regarding light/dark:
Some things in OLC GUI Special are darkened simply by using darker TGA images for them. Others are darkened by adding a semi-transparent black layer over the top. I won't go into the reasons why but these were not whimsical decisions. Anyway, the simplest way to brighten things up would be to go through every TGA in the mod and:
1) Leave "undarkened" images alone.
2) Double the brightness of the darkened images.
3) Make all the semi-transparent black layers into fully-transparent layers.
That should do the trick.
But if you like the ubermod and stick with it, I'd wager that sooner or later you'll want that dark GUI back.
