Hey

Hey

The zone info look like a little boxe with question marks in them. You can open them up and change the properties of light brightness. Another simple way to do it all at once would be go level info and change the brightness. In looking at the map, in sdk, it only has one zone info box. That I can see. It has a few sunlight properties. This is the little round greenish yellow circles.

Lighting is fun and difficult. More pain the arse some times. You can build it once and get the perfect lighting. Then build it again and it changes. Sometime you have to rebuild a few times before it goes back to normal like you want.

On trick I do is to click on a light and jut move it and move it back to place. Then rebuild. It works sometimes.

If you do remake it into a new map remember to save as a new name. Like KF-FarmDay

Otherwise you risk messing up the farm map and others if you try to go public.

Before you try to play it. Remember to build all. Then save.

Good luck I hope this helps some.

Here is a quick pic.

You may also want to change the skybox so it doesn't have a moon and stars, it may look a tad of of place.

Hmm thanks for the help but i'm still unsure of what i have to change, i changed the ambientbrightness in the level options and fooled around with the sunlight but didn't notice much difference tbh:confused:

Edit: ok i got the ground to be pretty bright, but the sky is still black. How can i change the sky brightness?

Hey

Hey

There are two boxes. The main box (with the map in it) and the skyzone box. The skyzone box has an skyinfo box in it. Looks like the zone info box. You can change the lighting there for the sky. You may also do like suggested and get rid of the stars by replacing with another texture.

after you do these changes be sure to rebuild the lighting otherwise youre going to be scratching your head.

PS: imagine if there was a time function in UE, like you just change the clock and your entire map goes to nighttime lol. if only it were that easy.

That would be nice; however, I like learning it this way. Makes advancements easier. I hope.:confused:

Hey

Hey

Looking at the pic. You need to change the color of the fog. This is why it is dark in the distance. I am guessing it is in the zone info box. This is mostly where the fog is. If not check the skyboxzoneinfo. May have the dark fog in there also.
