"cries in console"

[@xavieryt412]

WOW crazy, i love it ! The PC version is amazing... Why did i NEVER see K-SEC drones in my game ? Are they only in a precise mission ? I finished the game and i never see them in freeroaming.

[@TinusOC]

Keep K-SEC on your tail long enough and they will deploy the drone

The lighting in this mod looks fucked, like the sky is still the same shade of blue but just the environments are darker despite being areas that have a lot of light sources around...

[@sonyviva308]

Comparing this to the SweetFx mod, which one looks better at night?

[@drunkcoconut]

so ive downloaded it and did what you did in those images, i tried running mec while the mec ct was on and it said mec has stopped working, do i have to click off mec ct to make it work or???

[@TinusOC]

Launch CT after the game then it should work :)

[@drunkcoconut]

Tinus okay thank you!

[@drunkcoconut]

Tinus and one more question, does it also affect daytime?

[@drunkcoconut]

i tried it and it didn't work, i tried turning down the brightness all the way and it doesn't look the same as in yours

[@KingLulzington]

its cool but looks so dark you can barely see whats in front of you

[@RennieAsh]

Overlord Lulzington yeah I thought there’d be a little more brightness from light pollution :)

[@Drawing_Pad]

That transition was insane, holy shit

[@frostywuff]

Still one of my favourite game to play, got it on steam when it was released there

[@suiiperable]

Awesome!

[@xpl0dinggamrguy808]

What is your FOV set to?

[@TinusOC]

I believe this is the highest FOV setting the game allows.

[@Frh0904]

Whats the soundtrack?

[@TinusOC]

The 'Family Matters' OST :)

[@Frh0904]

Martijn van Andel thanks!

Hey, if you are experimenting with mecct, maybe you know how the light manager thing works? I would like to add some lights here and there, but well, I have no idea how to use it :P

[@TinusOC]

Toffiklubitoffi I know how it works :) basically, whenever you add a light, it spawns inside faiths head. Spotlights also aim in the same direction as the player. You can move lights by clicking the move to camera button. The other settings should speak pretty much for themselves. If you still have issues i might find some time to make a tutorial video soon ;)

[@TinusOC]

Also, I'm not sure if this works since it has been a while, but if you use the NVIDIA Ansel tool, the lights should track that camera too, so you can easily position them around faith

[@toffiklubitoffi8561]

Ah, I mean more like, the light manager tool is kinda broken for me. It doesn't display any lights I added, and any settings I change do not work. No idea why.

[@TinusOC]

I'll try to make a tutorial this evening ;) I lost my MEC video templates however, so it'll probably not be of the usual quality, but I'll try :)

[@toffiklubitoffi8561]

OMG! Can't wait!

[@faithprime_]

I miss ME...

[@michaelus815]

Hmmm, looks good, but not real. In really big cities, like this, there are much more light pollution. And night is not so dark.

[@holymotherofshitt]

you should post the release mission with this effect. That'd look sweet!
