Darkness

Post by CCC »

Hello,

I've been reading through the Wiki and trying various things, but I can't work out how to make a map dark. I can change the sky to black, but the grass (or other) textures of everything remain bright. Is there a way to make everything darker? As if it were night?


Thanks.

Just make a light, place it any where you want and type

Code: Select all

/calclight 
via command prompt.

Thanks for the responses.

Neither of those worked though.

I know about placing a light, but all it seems to do it brighten, if I put it to 0 0 0, it just does nothing, it doesn't make it blacker/darker.

And the fog thing didn't do anything at all.

Once in edit mode, press Esc and click 'New Light' change the values to whatever you want and hit spawn. You won't see any light. Hit F3 and click 'Quick light'

If it isn't dark after that, make sure all your shaders and all the graphics features are ON. ;)
