@Oblivious

Classic CA corner-cutting.

Thanks for continuing to support 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.
6 MILLION PIES Jul 14, 2021 @ 12:29am 
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.
Oblivious  [author] Jul 3, 2021 @ 11:48am 
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.
rusko887 May 25, 2021 @ 5:10pm 
Beautiful mod, I have noticed a really good difference, especially on the maps with snow.
sirmicou85 Dec 20, 2020 @ 12:38am 
Hello ! Could we get an update please ? :D
EraGOnSTR Dec 7, 2020 @ 8:27am 
can you update pls
Gleen Cross Sep 20, 2020 @ 2:24pm 
I wonder if this mod is responsable for the weird haze/heat effects in my game. Is anybody experienced glitched effects on desert regions? It looks blocky to me, it's weird
juanliam Jun 14, 2020 @ 7:51pm 
Merci beaucoup.
Oblivious  [author] Jun 14, 2020 @ 7:02pm 
@juanliam I use default, 12 and 20 or 20 and 12 whatever it is.
juanliam Jun 14, 2020 @ 6:42pm 
Thank you for your mod with the reshade at Matthew's it gives a super nice games thank you. A single question how much you put your brightness is gamma?
Oblivious  [author] Jun 8, 2020 @ 6:18am 
@In The Mud It will affect them. But i don't use GCCM so i don't know how their maps use environments. These environments were balanced around vanilla maps. If you use GCCM and see snow in badlands that's not my fault.
AgentChaos Jun 8, 2020 @ 3:42am 
Does this mod cover GCCM maps as well?
General Titmouse Jun 5, 2020 @ 9:17am 
Awesome mod, my dude! Thank you for your continued dedication!!
Badmagick Jun 1, 2020 @ 8:22pm 
That's actually a pretty good idea since winter is not a norsca exclusive season
Oblivious  [author] Jun 1, 2020 @ 10:41am 
I've added snow possibility for the empire environments. I've also just reduced the amount of snow to make it look like light snowfall and not Norsca.
Foxbyte May 28, 2020 @ 7:36am 
Wow, that was really fast!!!
I tried some random maps and it looks like your are right. Problem solved.
Maybe it is right what some people say: The Emporer protects!

Thanks again and i wish you a nice day.
Oblivious  [author] May 28, 2020 @ 7:24am 
@Schattenkind They should all be fixed now
Foxbyte May 28, 2020 @ 7:22am 
Hey, Oblivious.

That sounds like a lot of work for you, sadly.:steamsad:
If you dicide to fix it... just take your time, bud.
Even with this (imho) little issues the mod is a big improvement for the game.
At least for me.

btw: It seems not to be a problem on all maps with shallow water.

Do you want further reports on this topic? If so, with screenshot and skybox?
(Maybe open up a new map-report-thread? Just a suggestion.)

All the best
Oblivious  [author] May 28, 2020 @ 6:45am 
@Schattenkind Ok so turns out years ago when i started this mod and didn't know what i was doing, i messed with all the shallow water colors. I seem to have fixed all of them now. I'm not sure if the issue in the Estalian map is fix-able, i think that separate colors might be a default game issue.
Oblivious  [author] May 28, 2020 @ 6:42am 
@ReDDragon I saw this earlier https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/2280456883443482830/?appid=594570

someone removed a mod, try what they did in that thread might work out for you. GL
ReDDragon May 28, 2020 @ 6:34am 
@Oblivious thank you for your help
unfortunately the link could not help me. Since it is a bug of TWW2 vanila that apparently is still not fixed, apparently all savegames are corrupt for me and I have to start all over in the campanines.
Foxbyte May 28, 2020 @ 5:43am 
Hello.

Of cause, i can do.

1) Angerrial (Eataine) Minor-City-Battle

5) Copher (Coast of Arabia) A new one. Can't provide you with a better Screenshot (with Skybox) because it was a random battle and I have no savegame.
https://www.bilder-upload.eu/bild-8bd97d-1590669408.jpg.html

Hope that make it easier for you.

Best regards.
Oblivious  [author] May 27, 2020 @ 3:47pm 
@Schattenkind Could you post a screenshot of the maps? also try to include the skybox, i find the files easier if i know which skybox it is.
Foxbyte May 27, 2020 @ 3:38pm 
Hello Oblivious

I found some other small "bugs" in the Mortal Empire Campaign.

- Angerrial Map (it's next to Lothern) also bright blue water.

- First Quest-Mission for Eltharion the Grim has the same blue water issue.
(Sorry, but i don't know the english name for the mission... something with Hoeth... i guess)

- On the Tobaro Map (Estalia, South-Realm) the ocean in the background looks "broken".
You can see a lot of bright blue squares in the sea.

Most of these issues seem to be directly connected with the Screen-Space-Reflection & Screen Space Ambient Occlusion Option in the grafic-menu. Without this it looks a lot less extreme.

- Some of the water (right side and background) on the Eagle-Gate map (Ulthuan) has bright green edges. It looks similar to a faction border but it appears even without the hud.

None the less: It's a really fantastic mod witch improves the game so much. :steamhappy:
Thanks for your hard work!

Stay save.
Oblivious  [author] May 27, 2020 @ 3:00pm 
@ReDDragon A quick google search led me here https://steamcommunity.com/app/594570/discussions/0/1639788130279415544/ (Ctrl+F skybox_fix) It seems like it's the name of another mod. Might have been removed or changed on the workshop.
ReDDragon May 27, 2020 @ 2:46pm 
@Oblivious first super mod that I've been in my playlist for years thank you

But since the last update today I can't no load my savegame. when i select the savegame from menu it show a message "skybox_fix is not a part of the mods".
have you change the name or other changes for "skybox_fix"?
Oblivious  [author] May 26, 2020 @ 9:04pm 
@quietly hooting I think i fixed it. If you still see it, let me know.
quietly hooting May 26, 2020 @ 8:52pm 
One thing I noticed is in the Helmgart map, the water is a really weird shade of bright blue, it looks quite out of place. It might be on a few other empire maps as well, but I'd have to check.
Divine May 25, 2020 @ 9:07pm 
@oblivious awesome thanks! Ill let u know if i notice anymore
Oblivious  [author] May 25, 2020 @ 2:45am 
@Balkenkreuz I improved it. I have to look at some of those dark elf maps again, that was one i had a hard time editing in the past.
Divine May 25, 2020 @ 1:59am 
Terrific mod, easily the best lighting mod.

Just played caledors campaign battle against blood dragon vampire and found battle map to be unusually dark. You're probably aware
juanliam May 22, 2020 @ 12:13am 
Damn damage thank you for your answer.
Oblivious  [author] May 22, 2020 @ 12:11am 
@juanliam No, only one of them will be active
juanliam May 21, 2020 @ 11:59pm 
Hello, is your mod compatible with Fixed Skydome - Sun / Moon? Thank you.
spellsnare May 21, 2020 @ 8:17am 
nice really appreciate
Oblivious  [author] May 18, 2020 @ 5:08pm 
I've improved some Lustria/Skaven map environments. It had been a while since i looked at them and they were either too bright or too dark. Should be fine now.
Smaug May 16, 2020 @ 6:09am 
Cool, I am currently doing a vamp campaign I will comment if anything looks strange.
Oblivious  [author] May 12, 2020 @ 10:43am 
I've added the moon texture from Three Kingdoms to vampire maps (Used in Mazisky's Mod).

This will be a work in progress for now, if there are any issues with the vampire maps, or moons where there shouldn't be, let me know.
no May 12, 2020 @ 7:23am 
can this mod stack with Mazisky's? would love your lighting but also want night time :(
siren_shadows May 7, 2020 @ 9:17am 
Beautiful. Love how you balanced the colors so it no longer feels so bleak, especially sunset maps
Ogaburan Mar 21, 2020 @ 6:54pm 
Wow, this really blew my mind. Great work.

I actually tried hazards mod first for some reason, but your mod is clearly done by a master!
Melinda Safitri Mar 20, 2020 @ 10:54am 
im just try hazard's weather but my warhammer 2 looks blurry T_T
GDI Feb 22, 2020 @ 10:49am 
update plz
Chance Jan 22, 2020 @ 10:02pm
