The mode can be activated like this: Go to the "View" menu and select the following three menu options:
- Bright visibility spotlight
- Dark surroundings
- Bold visibility spotlight
When I remembered this view mode I thought that it might be a much better default than the current "unmarked" mode. The bright/dark and bold/non-bold display nicely shows the currently visible area.
What do you think?
Never used the bold part, but always the bright vision / dark surroundings setting. First thing I did when starting the game for the first time. :) I think that should be default, the bold is, for me at least, redundant & unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteYep, looks great.
ReplyDeleteNice, wish I'd found that before. Please make default.
ReplyDeleteI use the bright always. Certainly should be default.
ReplyDeleteBold is redundant in my opinion. Highlighting by brightness level is enough.
ReplyDeleteAlso I noticed that you use font smoothing. Great! But will it be sub-pixel smoothing or that?
Ok, the defaults have been changed :-) Bold is still not a default.
ReplyDeleteYou know what I was thinking? It would be cool if when the colours were 'bright/bold', it represented daylight or torches, and if when the colours are 'dull/non-bold', it represented night. I think it would improve the atmosphere a lot.... there would be a different 'feel' to running around a city at night as opposed to during the day...
ReplyDeleteI always use these, not only in JADE, very handy.
ReplyDeleteI second what Lyle says, depending on the phase of the day, you could desaturate the RGB values by like, -30 or something, or introduce more purple and blue. I'd love to sneak around a city at night with that look!
