Reduce Terrain Brightness

[Teirusu 38]

While messing with the the Lighting exemplar in hopes of figuring out why there's a bright spot in the middle of water , I stumbled upon this.  Not sure if anyone else has found this but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Apparently, property 0x29189BEB (Texture Floor) is adding brightness to all terrain textures, effectively white fadeing them.

 

This is what it looks like with the property set at it's default: 0.1

 

 

When it's set to 0.0

 

 

Plains w/snowcap before...

 

 

After...

 

Pretty big difference, no?   Here's a Dat for you guys to chew on.

Hey, Teirusu! Its the terrain master! Looks great, gives the landscape more depth. Combined with custom water, it'll look even better.

Thanks DarkMatter and NewYorkRunaway.

DM, long time no talk to!  I like how DatGen is coming long, btw.   Very nice.

 

I'll have to keep messing with this exemplar, there's several interesting shadow effects here.

Glad you like how DatGen's turned out. I have a treat for everyone comming in a couple days, and it might be very useful for you, with all the texture work you do.
