Make the Moon bigger

(1/3) > >>

TheMetalCarrots:
Apologies if this question has been asked previously, but I was wondering if there was any way to resize the moon that appears on the default night sky - I assume, if it is at all possible, it requires the editing of textures/DBC files, but that's merely speculation, so I thought I'd ask here before I plunged blindly into resizing the moon.

Thanks in advance,
Me.

Alastor:
I think its geoset with plane structure in M2 of sky so you will have to extroduse it

schlumpf:
As far as I remember that had been part of the day night cycle stuff and is hard coded. You can try reverse engineering stuff around DNPlanet, and try to find a size field there. If there is, you would have to patch the binary to override the value.

TheMetalCarrots:
Aight, I'll try these suggestions and report back. Thanks!

schlumpf:
It is in fact hardcoded:


--- Code: ---void DayNight::CDayNightObjectInt::LoadMap (int map)
{
  if (info.g_initialized)
  {
    UnloadMap();
  }
  info.Initialize (map, s_useNewFog);
  lightRecs.LightLoad (map);
  assert (g_areaLightOverrides.Count()==0);
  info.g_initialized = true;
 
  sky.Initialize();
  clouds.Initialize();
  sunGlare.Initialize ("Textures\sunGlare.blp", &sun);
  moonGlare.Initialize ("Textures\moonGlare.blp", &moon);
  sun.Initialize ("Textures\sunCenter.blp", 1.0, 1.0);
  moon.Initialize ("Textures\moon.blp", 1.75, 1.0);
  moon2.Initialize ("Textures\moon02.blp", 1.0, 1.7);
  stars.Initialize();
}
--- End code ---

You would want to change those two floats in DayNight::DNPlanet::Initialize, I guess. Not sure which one is which.
