I beleive the gloss reflects the surrounding if you take a good look (look for a rainy day in the woods_
Also, the gloss will react to the strength of the sunlight, so if you have too much sun, the gloss brightens up that it looks almost white.
Actually this is your lucky day
I'm releasing skymod 1.32 beta and see how you guys like it:
download it
HERE
Readme:
1.Unzip the file to a place on your hard drive
2. Copy the
data folder from there into your rome directory
so it overrides your data folder. (it should ask if the files should be overwritten)
3. You're done, try it in custom battles or campaign and since
it is a beta release , let me know if you find a funky looking sky or place!
How to back up your current vanilla files:
1.make a new folder somewhere on your hard drive (you can make one in the rome directory and name it something like "backup")
2. copy paste the following files(the original ones) into your new backup folder
rome-total war/data/
-descr_skydome.txt,
-descr_daytypes.txt ;
-descr_battle_map_lighting_and_fog_control.txt;
3. copy paste the following files also :
rome-total war/data/models/textures/
-#lensflare.tga.dds;
-lensflare.tga.dds;
data/sky/
-#sun.tga.dds
If you saved those into a folder , then you can restore those files later if you really hate me or my mod.
Changes:
Sunlight/strenght adjusted, see the previous posts of mine for screenshots.
-A new Lensflare, it is more visible, but still not the best (i'll try to make it better later)
-A new Sun. Completely my design with photoshop, you might not see a lot of difference, but it is slightly bigger and shinier.
- New colored skies, new colored days, there are a lot to list what has been changed,
just check them out and see if you like it or not!
-By controlling the amount of sunlight and different aspects of colors, the landscapes are more pronounced, sharper or perhaps has a better
coloration depending on the climate or the time of day, you decide!
- All the rest of the changes that was made in skymod 1.31 and 1.30 are still apply (4 different skydome, many many climates and daytypes, etc.)
Tested with
Rome - total war (vanilla)
Tested with the
SPQR 4.3 mod.
- no crashes or strange anomalies so far.....
Compatibility:
So far with every mod you can find.
