dslyecxi 23 Posted August 1, 2012 This one's something I've wanted to see for awhile and just randomly had time for today. Put simply, the map will automatically darken when dusk/night falls, then brighten again at dawn/daytime. Yeah, that's it. If you just went "Oh hell yeah!", this mod is for you.

panther42 52 Posted August 1, 2012 Nice work Dslyecxi. Any chance of taking this one step further and making red light readable for night ops. I haven't even looked into this, but figured with your skills, it would be possible... Thanks panther42 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CarlGustaffa 4 Posted August 3, 2012 Finally someone made something like this as a mod. It should be standard in Arma3 - I just completely hate getting blinded by the map in night missions. I made something similar for Domino (Domination offspring) where I used several red and black alpha markers controlled by some sun altitude function. I have to admit, map draw rectangle and sunormoon seems a bit more cleaner than my own attempt :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laqueesha 474 Posted August 4, 2012 Gone are the days of being blinded by a bright-arsed map in night missions! One suggestion though, is it possible to have it react to light sources at night, such as street lights and headlights? For example, if standing right under a street light, is it possible to have the map brighter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
