Default it looks like this:

Big, pixelated and ugly.IMO of course.
I resized the moon texture and put it onto my map and it looks much better, IMO.

Now please HT, it takes 2 mins to resize it.Sun and the moon are the ugliest part of this game atm, so large and unrealistic.
-
Croduh great work. Is that the map your making for the SEA? What setup is it? We need more AvA maps/setups.:D
-
Yes, looks a lot better.
-
The moon and the sun angular size is about 1/2 a degree. How big is AH field of view in default zoom? This would help you get the size correctly. The sun actually appears a little bigger because it saturates you eyes.
-
It's a game. Our big moon makes the game more romantic.
I'm so against this, it's not funny.. We're not getting some tiny invisible moon. We already lost night, that's enough.
-
I prefer the large moon because it's something to look at. In this part of the country a harvest moon is rare, at least in AH I can look at one.:)
-
Thats not a moon.....
-
Smaller moon is to less bright as less bright is to sleeping squeakers

I say no moon at all, no night time.... no stars.
and can someone please tell me why we can see stars mid day!?
okay, clouds night time and moon i can do without, but stars in the sky in the day?
enough, put the pipe down.

Mommy don't let you play outside yet huh?

Croduh is right.
Please make them smaller, not that worried about the moon but the Sun!
-
I haven't checked, but IIRC the stars are accurately modeled. If Croduh were right the moon would have been the right size in the first place.
-
agreed sun and moon are waaay too cartoon big, looks rubbish.
-
As if the game's graphics and environments aren't sterile enough? Let's make it even more empty and dry, nevermind the fact it'll remain cartoonish in realism for any length of foreseeable future.
No night, no clouds, no storm fronts, no lightning, no weather of any sort besides some sprite tricks on generic clouds, no turbulence... And you guys want the sky to get even more void...
-
no I want all the weather I can get, I just dont want a planet-sized moon which looks stupid. in the same way as I dont want clouds shaped like sheep or 40k mountains made of polished steel. its for more realism, not less.
-
I would like to see HTC look more at small little visual effects.
I don't buy into the FPS killer argument. Not asking for amazing visuals just little touches here and there that WILL make a difference, the finer details that people take notice of and think "hey thats cool, no other games have that"
The last terrain update did a little of that. The windmills, little farm houses all nicer than a generic terrain. I'm sure we could list 10 little things that wouldn't require much work and then get implemented.
Oil, fuel leaks, pilot wounds, heat, cloud thickness, waves on the beach, jet exhaust, explosions,
Again i'm only wishing here small things not massive changes that will disrupt the game.

croduh had waves on a beach on his map once...the one with lightning.

Moot are you from chile by chance or is it just where got the pics, btw my grandfather worked in the observatories in Vina Del Mar he repaired the eletronic equipment there
-
Matador, it's just where I got the pics from. My father's from Venezuela and a while back almost took the job as chief of the solar observatory in the Canaries.. That's as close as I got :P
Let me know if you've got any good links to astronomy pictures on the net :)
RTHolmes no tiny moon, sorry. I think that would look more stupid. It's just a game.
-
moon is fine, makes it more romantic with my sheep, oops.... i meant plane! but the sun is just to uberly big, way to bright, if sun was that close in real life Temps would probly be 130-145 Degrees all the time lol

I never laughed so hard :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl :rofl

nooo i dont want a tiny moon :( I want a realistic looking one, and it can look pretty big at certain times of year and atmospheric conditions. in AH it just looks like its dropping out of orbit and were 2 hours away from a cartoon apocalipse :eek:
-
And I think that idea's funny - that changing the moon's size is going to make any real difference to how cartoonish the game is.
"Realistic" my foot :lol It's a game.
