ShackTac Map Autobrightness Mod

Recommended Posts

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.

See a video demonstration of it:

These little features are what makes the game more ergonomic and dynamic.

ARMA 3 Devs take note :)

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

1.3 is out and is a minor tweak to brightness levels after some further playtesting.

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 :)

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?

I have no plans to over-complicate a simple mod.
