question to the devs : the blue lantern... - Deu sex - 01-10-2011
I mean when you can see in the dark, simulating the HDR's eye adaptation effect, its a great idea, but you can see really too much... (in my point of view)
is there a way to turn it off, or to reduce the effect ?
I'm sorry I am so lazy to search it ! please just tell me in what folder it is, I'll try to manage to tweak it, like I did with the parallax effect 3 month ago ! XD
and I take the opportunity to congratulate Mikko Tarmia for the work he did on the audio parts, I bought a good sound card this chrismas to do sound recording (I'm a pianist, but not professionally ^^) and when I heard (in a pure hazard) amnesia playing on it, the sound was just incedible, and I was really freaked out (even if I finished the game 4 times).
so i'm also glad to see you have the success you deserve.
PS : sorry for my bad english --> frenchie ^^

its in the .cfg files, but you should adjust your games gamma first so its about 0.7 too about 0.9
your most likely playing to bright

That's true. I completely turned it off in a map that I'm making, so yes.. You can do it. But it will require users to download extra config files or make it a "total" conversion.

he wants to set it as a global setting, so a total conversion isn't necessary
could you post what he needs to change to lower it?

open Amnesia_install_dir/config/game.cfg with notepad or a similar program.
Hit ctrl + f and search for: "Player_Darkness". It should be more or less at the bottom.
Now, I didn't look these up or anything, so I'll just give a brief explanation that seems logical to me for each line.
MinLightLevel = "0.15" -> The minimum light 'shining' on you before your 'nightvision' starts.
RadiusAdd = "3" -> The extra outer radius that you will see with your 'nightvision'?
AmbientLightMinLightLevel = "0.2" -> No clue what the difference is with MinLightLevel.
AmbientLightRadius = "6.5" -> How far you can see.
AmbientLightIntensity = "0.32" -> Howmuch lighter it gets.
AmbientLightFadeInTime = "2.8" -> How long the fade from dark to full nightvision takes.
AmbientLightFadeOutTime = "2.3" -> Same but reversed: going from darkness to a more well-lit area.
AmbientLightColor = "0.5 0.5 1 0" -> The colour of the 'nightvision' (Red | Green | Blue)

very interesting, thank you !
I'll try that when I can.
