Me & DancZer started a two point function to modify the game:

1. Better Sunligth, more intensive and colors depending on time of day

2. Better Sky

Looks good, but for my taste it should have less saturation, so that the colors look more realistic, look at the color of the trees, stand too, I think.

Not to take it personally, it's just what it seems to me, I like desaturated, in most games and simulators, the colors are too saturated.

Best regards

It looks good but a question, what's the impact on performances?

Anyway, nice result ;)

well u can have same sun lighting, with ACE yellow sunglasses.

Well, now you can have the same Ace sunglasses effect without ACE

Don't get whats your point.

Hogthar posted the first release on the Armaholic so I think you can try it soon. :)

[NeuroFunker 11]

well, it's kinda unrealistic.

[abs 2]

So don't use it. Not so hard, eh? :j:

Maybe next I can help you with some more difficult things, like putting your shoes on. (shut uuuuuup!)

[kilrbe3 37]

With your avatar it's just better if you check double time before talk there about "realism".

You are without respect and you just don't get how much is demoralizing for someone who is spending his free time for make something for us.

And by the way this effect is great in my opinion, it gives a warm atmosphere!

sorry for the offtopic

[jeza 5416]

Enjoy the look of this, very nice, adds a whole new atmosphere as mentioned above (also as mentioned above when someone puts the effort in, acknowledge it and thank them) , many thanks for your efforts.

Kind regards Jeza

@Hogthar

Thank you very much for this great addon, its kind to let the community have it. Tried it out and it looks really nice, reminds me that the quality of daylight varies from country to country. This gives a fresh feel to the surroundings, 'mana island fiji' looks really lush.

One thing I would say, maybe a little less green, as it gives sandy beeches a slight tinge. Other than that its great and thanks again, will be using it on certain islands that’s for sure..

Edit: forgot to mention 2-3fps hit on mine, but still well worth it for some terrains..

[Opticalsnare 12]

Bit too much green.

[jeza 5416]

feedback wise as well, in certain islands it really stands out, the green could do with a little edit as it is a bit.....green :) . But as this is a first beta, well on the way.

Also, not too sure on night, the stars are very bright, but each to their own i guess :)

Good work. For me personally this is much better than the drab greens and browns.

[dingyisun 10]

Let me preface this by saying, MY GOD, this just gave the game a kick of incredible vibrancy and I freaking love it. I do agree with what others have said about the green being a bit too intense. Other than that, I must say that this addon is darn near to being perfect to reproducing what I see when I go outdoors and take photos. OUTSTANDING work on the addon! :) Keep it up!

[seba1976 98]

I like this kind of mods, thanks a lot.

Does it make any difference to have the post-processing on/off in game settings?

Regarding the ACE comment... One big problem with ACE is it took the best modders and after that very few of them released their work stand alone (i.e. the great looking weapon textures, the soundmod, the tweaked recoil, etc.). So if I can have any feature that went into ACE, without having to have the whole ACE mod loaded, fantastic.

[dingyisun 10]

One thing I just noticed is that, under certain conditions, there is a temporary purple cast on the screen that suddenly disappears after about 15 seconds. I tried this on Mana Island Fiji at 20:00, and I spawned in with a purple cast on the screen, which then abruptly went away.

[RSF TheCapulet 59]

Like the idea, but like some others have said, it's just a bit too green for me. I like the direction your heading. Hopefully our feedback contributes to a better mod. :)

[kilrbe3 37]

After testing, I had to take it off as well, its just too much for some terrain /islands.

Nothing against you personally, But I rather just slide up Digital Vibrance in Control panel...

But BETA is beta! Will try the next release.

[kevaskous 10]

Well one bug I noticed, it doesn't play kind with some conditional effects like getting too tired, or being injured. At night the moonlight will go pretty well completely dark with a blue hue and you can't see anything period ever. It's like the white light is removed and replaced with dark blue, dunno how else to explain it.
