hi, i was wondering if some experienced mappers could give me some advice on my worldspawn values. here are the values i got: _color 88 88 88 ambient 0.00 diffusefraction 0.35 suncolor 1.000000 1.000000 1 sundiffusecolor 1.00 0.86 0.89 sunlight .8 these values work fine, but on my map i want to create a grimmy grey-ish atmosfere, but it must not be to dark, i like shadows. with these values, my map is a little too "sunny afternoon" like. could anyone tell me wich values i should change, or ad new ones... any other tips on how to make a map more grimmy, like on the normady landings, with a little fog are very welcome, thanks

the best thing you can do is mess with the values. try turning down your sunlight and see what affect it has on your map. your sunlight is set to .8 try turning it down to .5 and see how it affects the light...just experiment alittle

And the best way to do that would be to start your map in dev mode ( /devmap mp_yourmapname ) and adjust the r_lighttweak* cvars ( these are your worldspawn settings), now you can see instantly how it effects your map without having to compile everytime

Open the console "~" key and type /devmap mp_yourmapname then once your map is loaded open the console again and type in one of these cvars. You will notice once you start typing it out the list will show up and when you finnish typing it you will see the range of values you can use for that cvar. Repeat the process for every cvar you wish to adjust.
