Pitch Black

Mod name: Pitch Black v3
Version: 3a
Creator: KoGar
Created on: Wednesday, May 30, 2007

**Changes in v3***
NV is now very important, with NV on YOU rule the night. I have made some adjustments to the ambient light so NV will work as it should. Without NV the nights are still pitch black. Adjusted the far plane clipping and fog distance. ***


*** This DOES effect how NPCs can see you at night! They cannot see you unless you are in a light source area; ie: campfire, fall within their flashlight radius, or are using a flashlight yourself. They will fire in your direction if they hear you and consider you a threat. --The devs have done a great job with the AI's abilities to see at night, they need light sources to see just as we do.-- ***

Description: 
How would you like "The Zone" to be so dark at night that you cannot tell what the weapon looks like in your hand, even with NV on?
Well, now you can with "Pitch Black"...That's right, now you not only have to worry about the Bandit about to pop a cap in your buttocks, but you also have to worry about that landmine you can't see at your feet...BOOM!!...Ooppsss...:) When the sun goes down in the Zone you better hope to have a good hiding place.

This version only effects the weather_default, I have removed the other files (Yantar is sacry enough...:) ). 

Daytime is brighter with new sky textures from the game, nights are shorter (pitch black from about 10pm til about 5am). The fog and rain have been greatly reduced, there is still a little of each but not much.
