About tail lights of the cars and the trucks.....

[eugenio1982 6]

Hi everybody ,

this post is about a tech question :

 

is that possible to have tail lights of the cars "on " even during day time?

 

....i noticed that when you swich from night to day , for a while , some car keep lights on ,

the FX is cool , actually seeing stops light during day time adds realism ,

 

 

2 considerations

 

1)since tail lights are already implemented i was wondering how hard is to have a script done that forces  traffic to have always lights on even during daytime

 

2)A  more skilled task could be to have "headlights off" and taillights "on " during daytime , this 

will give a very realistic touch   , since in the reality STOPS/TAILS lights are always working.

This would require some kind of retexturing of the car models tail lights, and I am not sure that kind of thing can be done without a considerable overhaul of however many of the automata there are in the default game.  Seems simple, but I think it is a horrendous job.

mmm....intersting prospective,

i thought it was a simpler job , obviusly you are talking about my 2nd consideration ,

cause talking about point 1)  t , i suspect that is not that hard to stop day-cycle in a "dawn like status" where is almost ( maybe with a further tweak completly) noon but car lights still on as well as some city lights , 

 

for example would be cool to have certain signs and ads that will never be turned off ( neon commerical ads for example ) ,

 

if i would try to do some "lights" tweak in a global way , where i have to check ?

what conf files are involved most ?

 

thx again

If you could pinpoint the trigger, one would simply only need to change that trigger. This could possibly be hardcoded or could be in a lua or cohort/exemplar (or even automata) file.

got the same idea , i just don't know where to look ................

another idea is to change perhaps , the automatas, fix their tail light as always on with a BAB like tool.........

or change this kind of values :
