Possibly the best graphics yet in the game, and still unfinished.

That is quite something. I'd never have thought we'd see someone reach "breathtaking" in BZ2.

Pictures aren't appearing for me :/

That looks absolutly amazing.

Thanks mate!!

I'm thinking that I might re-use that sky in the HD mod. It could fit Mire pretty well.

IMO Mire has a foggier atmosphere and there isn't really any night maps for it in vanilla.

I was thinking of the 'on-foot' mission where you have to trek through the jungle. That is set at night.

The purpose of fog in the original game was to reduce the viewing distances. I'll be increasing them for the HD mod, so the amount of fog will be reduced on all maps.

i'm thinking a day/night cycle would be nice

also, thinking of calling you b³

I prefer to use threebie

I'm not making any missions that last for a full day.

not in real time

Now you have to make a real time day/night map something with no end, for fun ...

That wouldnt be necessary. The map could start at dusk, and have it gradually transition into night (by, say loading 5 or so steps of sky files over the course of 20 minutes). The next mission could then start out at night and transition into dawn. You would effectively have a bit of a day-night cycle.

The multiplayer mods that do implement it do have a bit of a problem of day/night flashing whenever theres a resync but it could work nicely in an SP campaign.
