Community AbleGamers Tournament

That is really good!

*Edit*
Added that to the event page on exodus.

Awesome!

nice movie marshall!

Man, I hope lots of people tune in to watch. I'd be calling in my friends like crazy if it wasn't happening at 4AM in my timezone

Also I hope lot's of donations come in! (not just because I want able gamers to get plenty, but because donations are likely the only thing that'll keep me alive.)

That is a nice looking bracket. In game I play as Captain Conundrum, but I think the names are similar enough that I won't get in trouble for playing under a different name from what I am entered as.

Also, I'm scared now because I think I am the weakest of the four players in my round. Everybody start giving me units!

It's wrong! It's all wrong!



How could burntcustard be yellow?

Am I the only one for whom the purchasable units by spectators is reminiscent of the hunger games?

all we're missing is commander-mutts thirsty for blood(oil?) and revenge.

no it is a PA hunger games lol....minus all the political and social parts.

I'm feeling this is going to be expensive...

I wish I could be around for the tournament, as one of the rare legally blind gamers out there I actually have a personal stake in this...

It's an issue that is pretty personal to me, too. I was born with congenital cataracts and was legally blind by the time I was 4. Through the charity of people in my community and some very nice doctors that worked for free, I was able to get the (at the time) experimental surgery I needed. Without it I would have been able to get another surgery that would have given me some vision back but nothing like what I have today, which is actually very good with my glasses on.

This charity won't help correct the sight of gamers with vision problems, but maybe they can work with developers to come up with user interfaces that are easier for players that are blind or visually impaired.

Mine is a degenerative genetic disorder (retinitis pigmentosa) which currently has no treatment, so any improvement to game accessibility while my vision lasts is a great boon for me.

PA is already pretty good for me compared to most games. The light on dark UI, combined with the macro scale of the game make it feasible for me to play decently (area commands are awesome for this). The biggest problem I have is that daylight on a planet is rather overwhelming.

I'll be rooting for ya

@bgolus and @stuart98 have a darker nights mod. I think it would be possible to make a darker days mod from that for you.

Ya, to darken the night you simply have to lower the ambient light level in the .json, however it has little to no effect on the daylight. Haven't checked recently to see if any more lighting options are available though. Would be sweet.

I just took a quick look and it seems like there are lighting options for both night and day in those files.

ya


the problem is I don't know what most of those numbers mean, and what attempts I have made at trial and error have no noticeable effect.

Don't mess with the atmosphere, AFAIK that does nothing except give the biomes their unique look.

The block that's always hdr_intensity: 1 and ldr_intensity: 1 are what I changed to 0 to get the night to be black. Not sure if there's some sort of sun shader that controls daylight brightness.

I summon you from the depths. Reveal your secrets to all!
