very nice work, like always love the icicles from 2nd picture on the left side!

[dose]

thank you!
I also love it!
Btw the road and the plateformfloor are semi-transparent.Like if you were driving on a frozen lake.
you even can see the marks on the icy floor (road) but still see through !
the icicles ;they really look good when you go cam7 on a 45 degres angle , they look like 3d
Hey, what's a window without icicles in winter^^


"icicles" sounds like a word for "bicycle who can go on ice" LOL

[Sensi]

it looks great

[Nyco]

Very nice work, i prefr this winter mod than other glacial mod and the others of this style =)

[eie]

I like it. Might use it on my next track. It's nearing summer so I guess we could all need a cold adventure soon to make the warmth bearable, or might I be mistaken? =)

Lovely mod as usual,

but I did notice that StadiumRoadGrid seems to have missed the chill (on pic 4).

How do you make the nighttime brighter then the day mood?

[dose]

to have a brighter ambiance than the day

you need to make changes in "Night Mood" folder to:

#1. AmbGrad.dds, to a brighter tint ( i use the "exposure" option in PS and drag it to + 1.5 )
#2. LightAmbiant.tga , you do the same thing.(You can also change it with "Brightness/contrast but its not that accurate)
#3. SkyColor.tga ,make it blue gray or something pale (base white)
#4. LightSun.tga , i have change the "Hue" separatly , of the color ( peach and beige ) to 2 almost the same blue.
#5. Grass.tga , change to a white base color (pale) . Thats what makes
the shinny white reflection on the ground.

This is most of the file you need to change to have it brighter
AmbGrad.dds, LightAmbiant.tga and LightSun are the three more important to get the effect.

But dont forget , at night mood you also need to change the Light.
So in the "Image" folder, you can help your effect by changing all the lights.dds file
to a white color .of course the same way of #1 apply here.and the ones with colors, just put them in black and white (or just steal mine from this mod ^^)

they are:
*StadiumControlL.dds
*StadiumFabricL.dds
*StadiumRoadL.dds
*StadiumWarpL.dds
*StadiumWarpL2.dds
*StadiumWarpSpotsD.dds


Hope it help !

TRICK: to see the effect without doing anything make backup first than copy all files from C:\Program Files\TmUnitedForever\GameData\Stadium\Media\Moods\Day mood and paste it to "night" mood.
