yep and actually I like crysis the most when its sunny because you see all the details and textures much better.

And how can I add multiple tods to a map ? there some custom maps out which have dynamic daynight lightning.

Personally, I think it's great, I like the cold render, it reminds me the cold shaders setting in Far Cry. It makes Crysis look REAL.

when I say more sunny, I mean something like this :

Just tested the mod. I am agree with opinoins above thet it is too dark.
Here is what I get with VeryHigh DX10.

I am sure it is impossible to get so dark picture in August in place so close to the equator.

Thanks for your comments. I'll give what the audience is asking for: more HDR.

The fog color on "Ascension" is also on my todo list. It is too red/pink in the last part of the mission.

Screenshots with the modifications will arrive soon...

thats great ) I just want to ask if there will be a update any time.

Maybe you can make the sun and his light a very little bit more yellow,like in the default game.
This way it looks more like a natural summer day.But you have to pay attention,to much yellow looks like vanilla and not that realistic.you have to keep the realistic and clear look.

gn8 I looking forward for the new pics

edit: if it is not too much trouble ,you could release one tod with all daytimes.
So it would be optimal to use it for custom maps with 24 h circle.And maybe other peoples like also to edit finished custom maps and have a use for such a 24h tod.

looks nice gj )

Here are the modifications I have done for now. More sun intensity, less ambient fog, deeper shadows and a little bit more HDR.


Village map near midday:












In fact, it demanded more work I thought, because the modification of the HDR rate acts more has a "gamma" or "luminosity" setting than a real "sun intensity" factor. Fog may need some adjustments.

Does it work on medium or low shaders and shadows, other's high?

yeah,that looks better.
but its hard to say if you are not ingame.

Shaders must be set on high, especially for HDR: r_HDRRendering=1

You may activate sunshafts and sunrays with these cvars: q_Renderer=2 and r_sunshafts=1.


Other settings than shaders do not need to be set on high quality, as far as I know.

Here's Village, the render corresponds better to a sunny day in August.

Changelog for version 1.1:
-more lighting, especially in the morning
-deeper shadows
-better ambient fog


I'll upload this map in a couple of minutes.

yeah 1.1 looks quite good ... did you change the sunset settings too?

If you refer to the first version of Island (beta 1), the dawn has been fixed in version beta 2. Otherwise, the morning is brighter too in version 1.1.



The map "Village" with the latest modification is available for download:

Natural Mod 1.1 Village map (test version) (RapidShare, 34 Mo)

For installation, just extract the level.pak in your "...\Crysis\Game\Levels\Village" directory.


(please do not link the file, it will be erased when the complete pack v1.1 is released)

Can you please tweak the colors a bit? I personally think that the colors are too "washed out". and maybe too grey.
And why dont you post your custom tod? :rolleyes:
