When asked devs say the reason the hunting scope doesn't go on the BK-18 is that it doesn't fit the model, but since the in-game description talks of a rail there has to be some scope that fits... But this: "Tweaked: Personal light access parameter (PlayerBaseClient.m_PersonalLight) changed from 'private' to 'protected' to allow modding" REMOVE THAT DAMN PERSONAL LIGHT!!! It is an awful idea, because A) it looks like crap B) we really should not have client side differences in what we see and C) you need to fix the moonlight, not do magic lamps! Why aren't more people reacting to this horrid thing? Even if you want to see better at night, there are so many better ways to go about that than to create fake, client-side "personal night lights"! I'm getting whiny about this issue, but no, I don't think I'll shut up about it. Night lighting is in need of some adjustments, that is true. But this idea really is terrible.

Why aren't more people reacting to this horrid thing? Even if you want to see better at night, there are so many better ways to go about that than to create fake, client-side "personal night lights"! Maybe they could make this an opt-in/opt-out thing? I haven't played EXP myself and don't plan to, but by the sounds of it, there are a lot of complaints and by the descriptions and screens - it doesn't look/sound cool. Being here from the literal beginning, Mod to SA through every EXP build and seeing variances of night...it looks like they're stabbing in the dark with night time adjustments/fixes. I'm not sure what the underlying motif is in the lab though. Is it they simply just they can't fix it, or they want it as black as possible to leave modding open, no clue. I'm going to say it again: STREET LIGHTS. It worked in the Mod and it looked great. It looked fantastic in early SA when one town had 1 light on each and the soda machines were lit up. They could make the power grids so they could get powered up by various craftable/maintenance means. It's the only real solution. They could just stop messing with the nights and just add the STREET LIGHTS. Hicks once said that sometimes you need to make concessions to make the experience fun which was in reference to something about Nespesney being overly into the simulation end of systems where it was too much and not fun anymore. This is exactly the time for this mode of thinking. If everyone stands up and demands it, I know for real the devs will do it. Get up, stand up...stand up for your lights! -Bob Marley 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pavlos Ge 6 Posted March 27, 2019 Guys I really don't know what your problem with night light is.It seems to be about PERFECT now.Before my screen was completely black like i switched my monitor off.You could literally do nothing with this than sit in a house and wait for the sunrise or logout and wait.Now u can see the basic figures of trees and houses in front you so you can AT LEAST find somewhere safe to settle for the night.Common you like staring at a switched off monitor ? Even with a light source it was almost impossible to make basic traveling in the game.I think they just found the perfect middle ground for people who want bright day-like night (which in my opinion is bad because it's no different than having daytime visibility) and those who want completely monitor-off like night.So this one is the best of both worlds imo.And don't tell me that you could see basic stuff with the old night because a) your monitor is problematic/bad with washed out colors or b) you set your monitor's gamma really high.I have a TN (which does not have the greatest blacks) calibrated for real life color reproduction (as close as it can be with a TN panel) and i couldnt see anything rather than a white dot in the middle of the screen.I can't imagine how this would be for people with VA or IPS panel which have more lifelike black colors...Just relax and enjoy, it doesn't make it less ''hardcore' being able to stare at your screen and see BASIC figures that makes you think 'oh my monitor is not turned off'. :) 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First of all, interiors are now much more bright than the outside, which should not be possible. Secondly, some stuff is just too bright at dark which makes it pretty ugly. Thirdly, like Derleth perfectly mentioned, moon illumination seems to be completely gone. I'm willing to even give the personal night light a chance, but before I do, it seriously needs to be toned down. Or at least make the interiors and some objects not as bright. I do think that the nights from 1.01 were too dark and my first reaction of the 1.02 night time was positive, until I noticed the interiors and some of these shiny objects. Nevertheless, I was already suspecting that the moon lightning was gone with 1.0 and I am happy that Derleth and others confirmed this suspicion. If the devs can just bring back moon light and use that as a light source to illuminate the night (perhaps not as much as during 0.63, as it sometimes was pretty bright at night) it would be perfect.... 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gabriel Martinelli 0 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Queria saber o que há de novo, mais armas, fuzis, atiradores ... Ter apenas um M4 ea AK como fuzil já está enjuando, deveria ter mais opções de armas. E também tem um problema que toda vez que tem um jogador perto do jogo de trava de 3 não consigo deslocar-se para uma curta distância. Outro erro é o escopo da AK TODA VEZ que eu dou zoom ela fica cinza por um tempo e isso atrapalha muito quando está em confronto.

odin_lowe 3686 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Yeah, that "personal light" thing is horrible. Leave it to the light sources we already have. The head lamp and weapon flashlights are perfect the way they are. Just add more ambient light with the proper moon phases and it'll be perfect. But that magic personal light radius was meant for Diablo 1, and should stay there. Edited March 27, 2019 by odin_lowe typo 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But that magic personal light radius was meant for Diablo 1, and should stay there. I agree. Ambient light should be the only lightsource in the nights. For an example, the Constructionlights lights up but anything outside its patch is plain dark like it a blackhole. An Example (Have in mind I am using as mod to boost the light in current stable release) But as you all can see. it's like you are inside a ripped box XD 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Influence_X 51 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) Has anyone actually been able to get an Olga working fully? With all fluids and parts? The past two patches we've tried we've been unable to put motor oil in the car. The little black thing on the right hand side that works for the 4X4 doesnt seem to open a prompt with the Olga. I see the hot topic of this forum is the personal light right now. But I'm really more curious if the new car is fully functional. Edit: I also have to say now that I experienced significantly more crashes today than yesterday. I stopped trying to play after verifying, reinstalling, deleting app data, and still getting crashes.

Kathosky 119 Posted March 27, 2019 Totally agree with others that the client side light should be removed and the moon light should be recovered depending on its moon phases and how cloudy the sky is, also projecting its corresponding tree/house/object's... shadows, and these (the shadows) be almost completelly black without any other light source. On the other hand (this might be even more difficult to pursue) is to make the player's eye adaptative in function on how light or dark the night around yourself is, even counting artificially generated light sources as flares, flashlights, campfires... Summarizing; make it as realistic as possible. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kopo79 426 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) okay....first test and spawned at night and it feels that i have chemlight as a builded in my hands. there is moon in sky...why it is not get some light on enviroment? for me it feels like devs have decided to input invisible chemlight in character models head that everyone can see at night, Edited March 27, 2019 by kopo79 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amadieus 315 Posted March 27, 2019 (edited) I do want to note, after toying a bit in the offline mode, that the overall increase in brightness at night is perfect. You can clearly see the night sky, tree tops and have at least a sense of where you are going while still being pretty dark around. Still, we need moon light back and the too bright interiors and some objects are still killer. Edited March 27, 2019 by amadieus 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Derleth 1357 Posted March 27, 2019 I uploaded a short video to illustrate how bad some trees look, along with the foggy breath that now glows even more than before. Only visible for me and others close to my position I guess, due to it being client-side. Not the best idea, that fog makes me nervous... 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
