*Skydome now follows the camera (if found)

*Skydome resizes to the camera's drawdistance (if found)

Just amazing shadmar! one last bug when you shoot at the sky or if the sky is in sight the gun decal is black

[AggrorJorn]

If payed items are available in the workshop, you should put it up there shadmar. I would be happy to pay for this.

[shadmar]

Thanks Jorn, maybe one day.

 

This will be a workshop item only very soon, and I will remove the links to the "standalone" one.

The new version have some improvements.

[Pastaspace]

Is there a link to this still out there? Been looking but, no luck.

[TattieBoJangle]

I believe Shadmar is making improvements to it just now then will be on sale in the workshop

[Pastaspace]

What about older versions? I'd like to test this out in game.

[TattieBoJangle]

I think the links for the old one was removed but trust me when and if goes on sale its worth every penny

[shadmar]

ws version still a bit away

Thank you!

[CoolBeans]

Thanks a lot. I can't find where you edit the .mat file. for the muzzle flash problem.

The topic you redirect to is locked so I can't ask there. Looks like from your image its being edited in LW but I can't find it.

Thanks again.

[shadmar]

DayNight.mat ?

It's probably in the Materials/DayNight folder.

[CoolBeans]

Sorry I wasn't more clear and thank you very much for answering! I meant to say I can't find in LeadWerks where to

edit the .mat file. Is there a material editor in LW? From the screen shot it looks like its edited in LW, thanks.

[shadmar]

Yes there is, you can't find the material editor in Leadwerks? I don't understand, if that is the case just right click the material choose edit, or doubleclick the material, or find the mat file and edit it using notepad or vi.

[CoolBeans]

Thank you kindly for completely answering my question. I was looking for it in the menu systems.

 

If only I could ask you a 100 more...

 

Also thank you for letting us use the script.

Does anybody know how to tweak the cloud direction? THey are coming towards and right to left in my standard setup and I really want them to come left to right ( and probably towards a little bit).

 

I see how you can change the way the sky moves and the speed but the clouds themselves seem separate and I'd like to control them so they match the way I'm making the wind blow in the level (puffs of dust etc.). It seems a bit odd when the sky doesn't match the direction the ground wind seems to be blowwing.

 

I COULD change my level so my wind effects match the the sky but matching the SKY to the LEVEL seems the logical way to me.

 

I've had a look through the related lua and shader files and tried changing various values (guessing incorrectly every time) and I've never worked out which one I need to change.

 

SO, anybody worked out how to change the cloud direction?

[shadmar]

This generates clouds in the DayNight.shader

if you change ctime to -ctime they go the opposite way.

 

vec3 cloud2(float cloudheight,float scale)
{
   vec2 p=vec2(vp.zx/(vp.y))*cloudheight;
   vec3 c = vec3(.0, .0, .2);
   c.rgb += vec3(.6, .6, .8) * cloud(p*.3+ctime*.0002,scale)*.5;
   c.gbr += vec3(.8, .8, 1.) * cloud(p*.2+ctime*.0002,scale)*.1;
   c.grb += vec3(1., 1., 1.) * cloud(p*.1+ctime*.0002,scale)*1.;
   return c.rrr;
}

[mdgunn]

Thanks Shadmar. I'd tried changing some of the other values in that section before, but not ctime. It goes right to left now and away from me which is better. I wish I could make it go any way I'd choose which after some more fiddling I've not sorted, but it's great that it now better matches the way I'd setup the level.

 

This is a fantastic shader and prefab/map. Not sure why it isn't yet visible in the public workshop section on Steam. Maybe waiting for possible changes to the how the workshop will operate?

 

Many many thanks for your stellar work Shadmar!

[tray.geboy1]

Wasn't sure where to put this since I can't get it to work in the workshop since it needs a big controlscript.

 

 

Anyway here it is :

 

General

• Preetham skymodel is used (look up on wikipedia)
  
• UnCharted2 tonemap
  
• Procedural stars at night
  
• Procedural Clouds.
  
• Alot of adjustables
  

Install

• Download at bottom of page here
  
• Unzip straight into the projects root folder
  

Use

• Drag the Sun prefab from the prefab folder
  
• You can adjust all sorts of stuff in the script tab of the Sun object
  
• It will adjust to the rotation of the Sun (which is a directionallight) when you run (F5/6)
  
• Works very well with bloomsettings : luminance=0.11 midgray=0.158 whitecutoff=0.298
  
• Added one small example map as well in the maps folder.
  

Update :

• Fixed the ATI issue, thanks TattieBoJangle
  
• Fixed the cloudscale issue, thanks HaydenMango
  
• Skydome now follows the camera (if found)
  
• Skydome resizes to the camera's drawdistance (if found)
  
• Added adjustable bloom settings (if workshop the bloom is added the scene)
  

Edit: soon inthe workshop.

Where can i download it i know it says at the bottom of the page but i do not see it?

[Thirsty Panther]

There are some links here.

Not sure if they are up to date.

I'm sure Shadmar will reply soon.

He is on here regularly.

This is indeed incredibly cool. Will the clouds throw a shadow on terrain in a future version?
