Rec book too bright

[bstanko6]

Here’s one for you guys. I have TWOS and the recognition book is really bright against a dark scope. Hard to see. Can the brightness be lowered on the book?

That would only be possible if someone would edit the light map for that entire object.

Ok. Thanks. Maybe a future mod?

Hi!!!
I tried to make the recognition book darker and I can make it even darker. I can do a JSGME and TWoS compatible mod if you want it.

Ahh...Torpedo again! Very nice..very nice. Yes, the "stock" TWoS book is too bright at night, much too bright.

Your fix Torpedo.. - you only changed the background i hope. That would be very fine. Please upload a version that we could test this beta.

Iam sure Vecko will add the final selection (mod).

Thanks Torpedo.

That’s perfect! I assume it’s not an easy fix? Something I can’t do right here right now? I’m no modder. but if not I would love this mod! thanks!

did you use GIMP?

Hi all!!!
I used Paint.NET v4.0.21, it's a free program and it's very simple to use especially for the ".dds" format. Now give me time to darken all the flags and the mod will be ready in a few days. I uploaded the file recognitionmanual.dds in Paint.NET so with the rectangular section tool I highlighted the part of the page of the recognition book to be darkened. I used the brightness / contrast tool and I decreased the values to -50 for brightness and -30 for contrast. So I had to darken the three flags, which you see in the image I posted, in the same way, because they are very bright in the original mod and the result seemed good to me.
I'm glad you enjoyed it but I can always change the brightness and contrast values as you prefer.

Awesome thanks

Hi all!
Here is my version for a darker recognition manual, "Darker Recognition Manual v1.0 by Torpedo".
This mod is compatible with JSGME and TWoS and can be installed at any time because it only contains graphic files. I hope in the future to be able to evenly darken the images of some ships that have a too light background.

This is the link:

Awesome Torpedo... thanks!

[bstanko6]

Just tested it! good work dude! appreciate it. this is way better. Before I was blinded by the contrast of the dark scope and the bright rec book. This is just what this game needed.

Thanks Torpedo!!!This is much better

[Torpedo]

Thank you all for your appreciation. Now I am checking and arranging more than 200 ships for the silhouette with a too light background and for now I have arranged 20 ships, but I hope within a few days to complete the remaining ships. These silhouettes come from different mods with different graphics, I try to standardize the brightness and contrast.
See you soon ... with version 2.0!

Oh if we could get a proper recognition manual as the germans used

Just silhouettes.






Someone already did a lot of work but how to get that in the ship recognition manual....
