sakura_chan 9 Posted March 21, 2013 Well a new version of Arma is out, time for me to fiddle with the lighting haha. This time I found that the streetlamps don't work during the low light of dawn/dusk or when its cloudy out. A simple tweak changes that so now they show up until daylight. Just for fun I changed the flare texture as well, to a softer glow rather than the harsh streaks. I removed the flare from the decorative 3 bulb lamps, as they are designed to NOT produce a sharp light. This mod only changes the streetlamps, it doesn't affect the sun lens flares. http://www.filedropper.com/sakunightlights_1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Predator.v2 10 Posted March 21, 2013 Good idea. The default lights are too dark. But after trying your mod, i gotta say, that your lights appear a bit too bright (in my opinion) Here some comparison shots: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/default1.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/saku1.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/default2.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/saku2.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/default3.png https://dl.dropbox.com/u/106806270/Saku%20Lights/saku3.png Could you create a "darker" or "low" version with light strength just between the default one and yours?

M4Mkey 10 Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) oh yeah, still not tried it. ( Already DLed it though ). But I have to admit with Predator. I think something on the middle of default and your actual brightness would be top notch ! Edit : Also not sure but... can you confirm any performance impact ? I think there is one.

chrisb 196 Posted March 21, 2013 Thanks for this addon, not tried it yet but I'm sure it will work out great. Oh and I laugh every time I walk past a streetlight, could be why I keep getting shot:p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
captncaps 26 Posted March 21, 2013 Hey, great job with the lamps! just one question... I don't know if thats possible but can you fix flashlights/lights on cars? they seem to only work at night... thanks for any response :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SmallBlackSheep 0 Posted March 21, 2013 NICE, the streetlamps are one of the things that bug me the most in this alpha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
viper[cww] 14 Posted March 21, 2013 Great addition!! Street lamps in cities over here stay on almost until it's fully bright, same for greece. So this is a needed addition for realism. :ok: It's safe to say dev build is required for this correct? Just so Armaholic can add that as a requirement.

NeMeSiS 11 Posted March 21, 2013 From the screens they still don't seem to illuminate the ground. I made a ticket about this(and I am not the only one) since it seems like the HDR is broken at early dawn/late dusk. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nikiforos 450 Posted March 21, 2013 Great work, unfortunately the new lights have a huge negative impact on FPS. We are talking 10-15 FPS less than default lights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
