    I decided to mess around a bit more with the numbers to see what other values would get in terms of darkness, pretty much to see which would look nicest.
    Oddly enough, the only number that gave me something that didn't look almost exactly like 1 or 0 was 0.5.
    It looks alright, too.

    Bug? i see no bug here. You somehow access a developer only feature, which they havent release yet, surely ?.

    Because this is how Nights are supposed to be and gonna be am i right?. i damn well better be :p

    Eroticburrito, may I just say that this whole thread needs a like button?

    Oh, and get a lava planet with actual lava on it to see the lighting. (...Hm, does the lava glow yet?)

    The SAO bug also kills the lava glow. It also should be fixed in the latest PTE build 66660.

    No, modding it in by setting the ambient intensity to zero won't do anything to lava glow. (Or at least shouldn't do anything.)

    Ooh, happy accident.
    Found out that if you have a ravine on the dark side it creates this cool little glow-y effect.

    It's just the stock skybox in the custom skybox mod.

    just an idea for if we can convince them to make a dark night effect like the bug, to combat the unable to see units thing, they could just render all units with little lights so all the units glow, now that would be friggin sweet as all hell breakin loose on christmas eve

    i really really like the idea of units all having like lights on the under sides of arms or whatever they would look sick man. trust me
