Improved Lighting & Weather

Description
Improvements to the environment lighting and weather.

Does not affect gameplay.

This mod was balanced around default gamma and brightness (20 gamma 12 brightness)




What this mod does:
  • Enables sun/moon (on appropriate maps)
  • Changed some skyboxes to fit the regions better
  • Varied skyboxes in regions
  • Fog overhaul for most maps. More or less fog depending on environment. Altered fog color for certain environments.
  • Color improvements in various maps. (post processing has been changed for most)
  • Balances brightness to be visually pleasing but still playable
  • Fixes contrast
  • Dynamic light has been changed for most maps, specifically underground maps (reduced spotlights on units)

I am open to suggestions, but because this has taken so long, (some want darker, some want brighter, some want rain, some don't, etc..) just keep in mind i can't please every person, i will use my own judgement on what is good for this mod.

@6MP The way the environments get used in the campaign sadly isn’t really a % chance, but more like individual maps almost always using the same 1 or 2 environments. So if i was to change an Empire environment you would see it very often in the same campaign map areas. For example the sigmar statue minor settlement only uses 1 unless there is corruption, so changing that would mean basically half the battles in the empire would be night since that map is used everywhere.

I think the lighting in battles is perfect. There's "Ultimate Lighting + Random Weather" mod that has day and night, but even though night isn't supposed to happen too often, every 3rd map is a night map where it's hard to see stuff and everything has a green tint and tinge to it. So I think this mod is fine how it is, we don't need every weather/lighting mod to be the same. If you want day and night, try a different mod.

Can you make night battles more statistically possible? I seem to get tons of days with empire battles in Empire regions, was wondering do you have the chance algorithm for each map? night day snow etc.

I've updated most environments to look as best as possible for the upcoming last WH2 DLC. Also updated the screenshots so they're up to date.

Beautiful mod, I have noticed a really good difference, especially on the maps with snow.
