Schwarze Berge, Fehler auf Freiburg-Basel

Hast du irgendwelche Updates installiert ?

black forest

Does this happen in editor only?

I have read somewhere that distant mountains are covered with google maps images in Freiburg-Basel. Could that be a reason?

The same here, distant mountains are black. I think this is wanted and therefore ok.

Regarding the underlaid Google maps I have made this screenshot in the editor:

Did you install something new, like a new route or other assets ?

Please check the routes, where the issue happens, with RW-Tools/TS-Tools, then you maybe can find out, if there are any problems.

StS füge bitte dem Thread-Titel auch das Wort "Strecke" hinzu, danke und nichts für ungut.

Hi Tarik,

what you described is a problem with the timeofday files. I don´t have this specific route so I can only give a general explanation:

In the assets folder of the route ist a timeof day folder and within this folder are four timeofday files (spring, summer, autumn, winter). Each of this files has the same logic. There are sections for the different times of the day, normally dawn, early morning, morning, noon and so on. In each of these sections, mostly near the end, you find a line called fog colour and below this three lines with blue, red and green which give the fog colour. If the distant mountains are to dark take a higher value in these three lines and if they are to bright take a lower one. I normally start with 30% more or less. ignore the alpha channel. No change necessary there. I recommand to use RWtools to change these bin files as RWtools saves a bak file automatically. If something is wrong you can restore the original file without problems.

Used Time Of Day Files are named in the RoutesProperties.xml of the Route.

Editid this .bin files with Rw- or Ts-Tools.

you installed all Updates? So which made the failure? Or wich can not install with an other one?

Start with an empty Routes Directory.

Then Install the Original Route.

test

first Update, Look in the Package what the Update will do.

Then install

test

second Update ....

a.s.o.

Hi Tarik,

as I have said, it is a matter of the timeofday files and no fault at all. After selecting a specific scenario in TS the season and the time of day used in this scenario is named in the lower left screen of the TS menue. Simply open the respective bin file (spring or summer or...) with RWtools (windows will ask you which program it should use to open the bin files) and change all lines as I have described. Try what I have recommended in my previous post and your black mountains are gone.

Hi Tarik,

please read and try to understand what I have written in my previous posts.

• You do not have 50 TOD files per route. Normally you have four: spring, summer, autumn and winter. The syntax of all these four files is identical: If you read and understand the syntax of these files you will find sections which describe the different times of the day, e. g. "Breakofdawn TOD" up to "Midnight TOD".

• In all of these sections all relevant parameters for the specific TOD are described. The important parameter for the problem of black or white distant mountains is "fog colour" and within fog colour the red, blue and green value. You will find "fog colour" nearly at the end of each of these sections. You have to change the three decimal values (red, blue and green) in all TOD sections of the file.

• E. g. if the value is 1.2 and you want to increase it by approx. 30% you will get 1.6. If you want to reduce it by 30% you will get 0.8. A calculator certainly is helpful. If the mountains are too dark you have to increase and if they are too light or white you have to decrease the values.

Greetings

Peter
