Changing Lighting (beginner level)
Lighting includes five values for both storm and non-storm modes. Storm mode is what you see around the map whenever the Weather Storm is used; non-storm is anytime else. Temperate and Snow each have their own color settings for Morning, Afternoon, Dusk, and Nighttime.
To access the lighting and set up a morning temperate map:
1) Under the Edit menu, select Lighting.2) There are five settings each for the Normal and Storm Modes, as described above. All of the values are on a decimal-percentage scale, so 1.00 is normal lighting, and 0.6 is 60% lighting. The five settings are:a. Ambient - Controls the general lighting for any objects on the map, such as structures, units, and terrain brightness.b. Level - Controls how much the lighting changes for each tile of elevation. DO NOT set the level to a value greater than about 0.30 (30%) or the lighting will change so drastically that high elevation will be almost pure white, and lower elevation will be so black as to be unobservable. 0.032 (3.2 % change) is about the average lighting step for most maps.c. Red - Adjusts how red the terrain looks.d. Green - Adjusts how green the terrain looks.e. Blue - Adjusts how blue the terrain looks.f. The Storm Mode settings are identical in function to all the regular mode settings.3) Change the following Normal attributes:a. Ambient = 0.750000 // Decreases the normal lighting to 75%b. Level = 0.032000 // Level is the same for most maps.c. Red = 1.090000 // Slightly increases red (by 9%)d. Green = 0.800000 // Decreases green to 80%e. Blue = 0.490000 // Decreases blue to 49%4) Change the following Storm Mode attributes:a. Ambient = 0.650000 // Storm is darker than normal lighting (at 65%)b. Level = 0.032000 // Level is the same for most maps.c. Red = 0.695000 // The Red, Green, and Blue values are shiftedd. Green = 0.445000 // from primarily red to primarily blue, whilee. Blue = 0.775000 // still maintaining the Morning effect.5) Your temperate map will now show the morning effect in RAII, and will have a bluish tint whenever a Weather Storm is created. A table follows with some other lighting values from within RAII.
