SF Map support and interactions
What entities do StormFox require?
For full support, SF requires these entities to be to be present on the map:
  • light_environment - Controls the map-light and supports smooth light transition.
  • env_fog_controller - Controls the fog on the map.
  • env_tonemap_controller - Controls the light-bloom on the map.
  • shadow_control - Controls the shadows on the map
  • AI nodegraphs - Used for better environment awareness and water puddles.

light_environment will delete itself by default
To stop the engine from deleting this useful entity, you need to set its targetname to something.
StormFox doesn’t mind what you set it to, but the community generally use “lightenv”.

FYI: This will make the map take longer to compile.

Lamps/Lights
List of names for light_spot’s that SF will turn on/off doing night/day:
  • <Unnamed>
  • “1”
  • “*night*”
  • “*day*”
If you don't want SF to interact with the light, you have to name it something that isn't on the list.

Logic Relays
SF also supports logic-relays with specific names, allowing the map-creator to trigger map-effects doing night and day.
  • 'day_events' or 'dawn' will be triggered in the day-time
  • 'night_events' or 'dusk' will be triggered in the night or doing dark weather-conditions.

This thread is for map-creators and questions relating to the creation maps.

Soporte e interacciones de SF Map
¿Qué entidades requiere StormFox?
Para obtener soporte completo, SF requiere que estas entidades estén presentes en el mapa:
light_environment: controla la luz del mapa y admite una transición de luz uniforme.
env_fog_controller - Controla la niebla en el mapa.
env_tonemap_controller - Controla la luz-floración en el mapa.
shadow_control - Controla las sombras en el mapa

Lámparas / luces
Según el mapa actual, "oscurecimiento", SF activará / desactivará todos los light_spot sin nombre, aquellos con "1" o si tienen "noche" o "día" en su nombre.

Como creador de mapas, necesitarías nombrar todos los light_spot que deberían permanecer en algo que no sea "1" y no tenga "day" o "night" en su nombre.

Relés lógicos
SF también admite relés lógicos con nombres específicos, lo que permite que el creador del mapa active los efectos del mapa durante la noche y el día.
- 'day_events' o 'amanecer' se activarán durante el día
- 'night_events' o 'dusk' se activarán por la noche o en condiciones climáticas oscuras.

Currently there are no way for mappers to interact with the texture system.

However working on a huge overhaul in v1.6(56% done). It will have a few entities that would allow mappers to make their own texture-settings, among a few other things.

Stay updated as v1.6 would be out the end of the weekend, if I'm lucky.

Hey. My map supports all mapentitys except the .ain nodes. Ingame the most is fun. But there are no rain effects etc. Any ideas? http://prntscr.com/no1um2

(SSC) shadow night 13 May, 2019 @ 12:16pm 
it could be because you could have turn off the effects and other stuff or you set it to the lowest or it could that theres a error with the map so the effects show it has it but it doesnt or i just dont know
