MOHAA Sunflare Mod
 

I have had alot ask about a mod on the Sunflare, not to eliminate it, but make a more realistic version. Some would consider it a cheat. I share the same opinions as the original creator;

//SED: Nasty screen overlay

...that pretty much sums it up.

Below is a before and after, share your opinions on this. If accepted, I'll make this available.

The after looks better biggrin: It's the first time I heard of a sunflare mod.. I think it looks nicer and more realistic.

If a few others agree, I believe its a go. biggrin:

I like that a lot! be sure to let us know when its available

Availability...
 

In my opinion this only gives a more realistic atmosphere, give this a couple of days of input. If accepted i'll post a link, and incorporate it into the next version of EyeCandy

realistic? have you ever looked at the sun?

Ok newt. You go ahead and be blinded with that nasty overlay, and I'll enjoy a nonblinding, sweetlooking sun.

mmmmmmmmm i sense a cheat mod flame war coming on.

screw that mod, the freakin sun is already in my face enough on the game and im sick of it as it is

...

lmao bruno

the sun is saupposed to blind you, so the after is not realistic at all

...
 

thats a good mod, very helpful. i say release it and let who ever wants it take it, and whoever doesn't, well their loss

Re: ...
 

looll....... all I have to say is..... BOH to you.

i like the mod, but that doesnt meen i would use it!

How bout this folks. Its not meant to be realistic. Poor choice of words. Its meant to be a form of EyeCandy for you all to enjoy. If you don't like it because it isn't realistic, then enjoy being blinded and don't download it. Noone is twisting your arm to agree with us.

lol ur bum buddy is an asshole.

Calling people an asshole is really just contradicting yourself. You are the definition of an asshole. Nothing more to say. Now you dumbass, keep it on topic. Can you understand that? Good.

you tell em powell, I love how people come into threads with the sole intetion of flaming someone, then act innocent as they are bombarded with retorts. makes me sick. now, heres the scoop on this mod. If you like it, download it (once its available), if not, bugger off and forget this thread exists!

THE END!

honestly whats the piont of this mod?

in your games do you constaltly stare at the sunglare?

..point
 

The point of this mod is to limit the nasty screen overlay, lol

so hurry and release it, im lookin forward to it myself.

I think this mod really is just a waste of time. Why should we have to use it for the sun! I isnt part of the game the sun doesnt matter if it is life like or not.

Delator detects sunflare/fog 'hacks' so anyone that uses this will most likely be labeled as a cheater too.

ur saying ur bum doesn't have an asshole?

Gothic, you need to think clearly. How is it going to detect a modified shader file? If Delator cannot detect Chameleon Skins, it will never detect this. Anyways, we aren't offering a cheat here. Just a nicer looking sun. So what if you don't stare at it while you play. Little things like this make a big difference in the longrun.

I will be posting the link to the file shortly. Grab it if you want. Don't if you don't want to.

whats wrong with it?

It should be a non-cheat mod cause all it does is makes the sun look better cause a reall sun doesnt do that.

hmmm..... they'll find a way to spot ur cheat

exactly thats what i said.

I realy really like this
 

Coning from England i see far too little sun anyway but the after pic has the look of the sun around my part of the world. (ie Europe) I really cant see how its a cheat.
the sun does very little to alter if you get killed it just there to add to the ambience Which this mod does nicely.

As for you newt why you name yourself after a small piece of pond life that is slimy and generally revolting oh hold on I get it lol

By the way b4 u ask im called scorpion cos i let nades off as i die so anyone who takes my health etc gets dead aka a sting in the tail hence being called scorpion.

Thank you for your time

Think of it this way.
Souther france, the right corner of that catwalk with the sun glare.
Look at it normally and you wouldn't see if someone was standing there because of so much glare. Look at th same spot with reduced glare and you can see them.

That should definitely be a server side mod. Could give someone an unfair advantage.

One place I'm thinking of would be in Southern France when you look at that raised walkway leading into one of the houses. Less glare there would definitely be an advantage.

sun and sky
 

how do u make the sun and sky cos i aint got a bloody clue!!

Re: sun and sky
 

Too easy. evil:

I live in England and the sun is no less bright at mid-day during summer here than it is when I've visited countries around the equator.

You cannot look at the sun anywhere if it is not behind cloud or if you're not wearing eye protection (or it's not low in the sky) so no, this mod is not realistic and newt was right about that part.

It looks nicer, sure. It would also give advantage to players in particular situations (V2, SF particularly, less so Remagen because it's not a verticle map).

Is this cheating? No less or more than a no-flare mod is. It's not a really hard cheat but I'm sure a lot of ladders would disagree.

I do respect the fact that the eye-candy mod is not supposed to present realism nor is it supposed to be used in clan matches, so I honestly don't see anything wrong with it.

Nice effect.

But not realistic, no matter how you try to compare. I would not be against using though, certainly if I knew everyone else on the server had it (ie it was an "eyecandy" server).

lol
 

It will be considered a cheat by some some. Might as well make one so that the fog isnt so thick on the maps as well.

In response to all info given in this thread...
 

Two things:

- You can not look directly into the sun, and be able to see someone standing in that same direction clearly enough to have a good aim. Unless you squeeze your eyes.

- Squeezing your eyes doesn't give you a better view while looking at the monitor (the projected image remains the same).

So, this mod could give you an advantage in certain situations. For this reason, it should be a server side mod.

Personally, I couldn't care less if someone was using it. The advantage is minimal at best.
