(Bug) Night Sky has day lighting and sun glare

[Proto464]

The Night Sky mod in this modpack is bugged, it used to have cool/cold lighting and a glare from the moon that was colored differently or not as noticeable, now you see the sun shine through and it's literally just the skybox and sun texture changed. I believe this is because the environment XML files aren't being changed or something isn't being done right, I'd really appreciate if this could be fixed!

Included below are some videos I made a couple years ago that all show what it used to (and should) look like, along with screenshots of what it currently looks like in its bugged state.

(Not exclusive to the Frontline maps, having this issue in all maps and modes)

Could you attach replays from battles where you still see the sun? Also attach logs see my signature.

I deleted my old replays just last night so I'll have to re-install the mod and get a replay for you later, it's in every single map so I'm not sure why a replay or logs are needed though - I didn't change anything for this to happen, it just happens out of the box

Hmm that's odd, I definitely don't have it like you said on all maps, I randomly checked few maps and everything is fine, as of no sun instead of moon. Maybe you are installing something extra which is overwriting this mods settings?

Apologies for the late response!
Weirdly enough, I found that this mod fixes the issue but only in the few maps it affects. If possible, I would really love for this to be added to the modpack as an alternative / extension to the Night Sky mod (which it already is, tbf)

 

As for the issue itself, attached are a couple replays where I was seeing the sun over the moon and that odd day-sky colored overlay in the horizon (my above screenshots show the same thing). This affects every map the above mod doesn't change - It might be notable that the mod mentions it re-enables fog.

I've also attached my logs and whatnot, though notably they're a few days after the replays themselves.

Thanks, now I reproduced it, and found out it's on high settings, when I switched to medium quality the sun is gone, will investigate it further...

[Aslain]

Fixed it, it's because WG added more entries to the map files, fix will be available in next modpack update.

[Proto464]

Ah, thank you so much! Glad to hear 😄

[Proto464]

Hey, so I just noticed something - The lighting and whatnot is still the same sun-colored stuff in a bunch of maps, even though this isn't the case with the original mod. Any chance this could be fixed?

^ Bump ^

If there will be more issues like that I will remove this mod, use the other sky mods if this one gives you issues.
