Spring RTS Engine

We need a Day night Cycle (alala Earth 201something or other). So when night falls, your bases lights turn on, and the enemy may be sneaking at you with their head lights off, and their night vision on.

That would be nice.

They should be custimizable for each map, so an alien planet will have much longer days and maybe 2 suns and so on.

can't believe that someone doesn't know its name! i have been using it as a example for YONKS + it is a good game! shame on you! shame! (misceallaneous flaming + ranting {Alantai please feel free to elaborate!})

I finally managed to post, 10 posts or somethign I musta made in thsi thread that got deleted, I was trying to say e already ahve a day/night thread but no no no the modly modness considers that sam and deleted it(spam? I didnt knwo we could embed emails in posts without copy pasting)

Don't worry, it was one of the first things I put on the request list.

didnt i make a thread on a night day cycle?! anyway we must have day night cycles.

See I told you we already ahd a day night cycle and it was just dissmissed as spam, what about twilight though?

i wanna too :))

Hey i foget every ones name, inculding...... whats hir face... and whoists. You know... the guy with the ax. Uh.......... and the star treck caricture. cool about the Daynight cycle though, also a binary star system would be realy cool, so imagin haveing night setting over a bunt out and destroyed batilfield, with two suns like molten mountans boilling into the sunset.

one thing is ti change the light settings its another thing to animate the skybox...

On the contrary the skybox is almost already animated. Look at the old spring ro the old old spring. At least one of those if I aint mistaken has moving clouds. I think that a moving sun or a changing background aswell as cloud shadows should be implemented. Perhaps it could just be huge objects that the engine floats and mvoes but exist at a height that can never be reached by aircraft
