A little history… SSL Mod has its beginnings in the middle of the year 2011, not compliant with the lighting of ArmA 2 and absolutely convinced that the lighting of Armed Assault was better, I put to work to use its configuration as a base for a mini mod that would replace the ArmA2 lighting with Armed Assault. I started making different changes, sometimes they were very good changes and sometimes really a disaster; Until I achieve what I was looking for, at least for my liking, to obtain a much clearer and more defined illumination. Over time I left him a little careless, in 2016 I decided to continue modifying him, and I give him the SSL name "Sky Sun & Lighting", in 2017 due to health problems the mod was abandoned, and in 2019 after my recovery I returned to work on it. Initially the mod was for ArmA2, currently it is for Arma2 Operation Arrowhead / Combined Operations. From 2011 until the writing of these lines, few people had access to this mini mod and they were the ones who encouraged me to release it. Description: It changes the global lighting of the islands, textures of the sky and prevents being blinded by light sources. Also has a module with 21 color profiles. Requirements: ArmA 2 Operation Arrowhead or ArmA 2 Combined Operations. Installation: Extract the @ssl folder in the root folder of ArmA2 Operation Arrowhead. You can also visit the following: FAQ link at www.armaholic.com to see in detail how to install and launch addons. How to use: The mod is activated by default, the color profiles are loaded from the mission editor. Open the mission editor, select modules in the right panel of the mission editor or press the F7 key, then double click anywhere on the map, search the list of modules for SSL profiles and select the desired profile. SSL Colors module: The SSL Colors module currently has 21 different profiles, some have a specific name like Takistan, Falujah, etc., but any profile can be used on any island, those profiles were simply created trying to look good on that island specifically. There are also profiles that specify: Day/Night or only Day Day/Night Profiles: Looks good day and night Profiles Day: They look good by day, but at night they look very dark, at least for my liking. You can try it to see how it is, maybe you like it. Shadow profiles lvl 1, 2, 3... These profiles make the shadows/black color even darker. (in the pdf that is inside the @ssl folder there are images of samples of the different levels of shadows) SAMPLE IMAGE GALLERY New image gallery http://arma2co.epizy.com Images on flickr Takistan images https://flic.kr/s/aHsmXjrunP Chernarus images https://flic.kr/s/aHsmXf6aVt Fallujah images https://flic.kr/s/aHsmXeAVxi Video 1 Video 2 Thread on the armaholic forum DOWNLOAD from WWW.ARMAHOLIC.COM - Link Dead DOWNLOAD from WWW.MODDB.COM NEW Added 03-06-2021 I recommend that you calibrate your monitor if you have never done so, or do not already have a color profile of the monitor itself. Why calibrate the monitor? simple, all monitors do not look or rather do not show colors in the same way, some are brighter, or more pale, some are dark, etc. Also sometimes we may have changed the configuration and leave it with too much brightness or more contrast, or leave it as when it arrived from the factory. With a calibration we make sure that we are seeing the colors correctly or in the best possible way. Here I leave some links so they can perform a correct monitor calibration LCD Monitor Test Online Monitor Test Changelog I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. GHOST
