The units unfolds like dominoes (Graphic issue)

**Gas Panic** · March 29, 2009, 06:13 PM

I have a problem when I'm in the battle map. My units are very bright, almost glowing, when I'm zoomed out but when I get closer they unfold and reveal their true looks.

Here's an example:

This is really annoying and I've tried changing the graphic settings to make it go away but with no luck so far.

Can anyone help me?

Have you considered you're seeing the light from the torches? It is night on your photo.

The problem is even more noticeable in day light so torches are not the issue.

Thanks for your reply though.

Soo... show a daylight pic!

That's just because the 2d sprites the units use are much brighter than the 3d model textures. Perhaps the mod you're playing doesn't use custom sprites, or maybe it does but the sprites came out wonky like that. In any case you can try generating your own sprites or using darker sprites from a different unit.

Interesting. Thank you. I'm playing Stainless Steel 6.1 so I will bring up the issue on their board.
