Afternoon mode

Wanted a lil change from the constant same time of day in the game. Been increasing refBrightness in config file, got it at = 24.0 right now and this is what it looks like. Also changed the fog color to 0.3 to give it darker, grey color. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=806462726 Makes the lights on locos look better http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=806462742 Imo, looks a lil better from the always bright setting http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=803723843
Now the skyBox is textures, so those need to be changed by another texture file, to make a full on evening/night mod so unless devs could change it do a dynamic skybox there won't be an ingame time change

Yeah, this looks really good. I like the early evening effect. It would be nice if someone made this into a script that ajusted the settings accordingly to provide a dynamic day/night cycle...

I did something similar, although not using it atm.. Toggling the HDR option on / off allowed me to have day & evening at will, aside from the skybox :)

Prob with a scripted day night cycle is, there are no city lights so even if somebody did it, it wouldn't look great unless they added those and also made the light from vehicles project :(

Your light level changed while playing the game, going from bright to dark?? I thought that setting would be loaded per game from config file and what it's set to, that's what the ingame brightness would stay at.. So how did u make it change from day to evening?

And yeah, no external light sources or city lights atm, so I wouldn't think going full night mode would be good.. Prolly from default 2.0 to maybe a lil higher from the 24 I got it at.. like 30-40.. Also full night mode wouldn't be good.. I tried this EA game life is feudal; forest village, its a rip off of banished, and in this pos game they made nights so dark, couldn't see sht, can't build anything for the duration, so you're forced to wait for the night to pass.
