[REQUEST] Map with brightness-effect (day/night)

Hi!

I took a look at Jeppo´s map, I had the same bug with my first envelope maps but I don´t want to change his map. The envelopes in his map are very confusing, instad I want to make my own.

I made a simple day night rythm, it´s just a test and of course not high quality. You also have to make several changes to use it for other maps. But if you want I can change whatever you want, I just wanted to see if you would appreciate my work.

This map is quite old, I tried to make animated rain and thunder. I could do better if you want but it was also just a test.

Tell me more and I will do my best.

@Stephanator: Your example is a perfect template for using this d/n animation. Thanks Stephanator, very nice work!

Your old dm_rain has nice rain animation, however the n/d-effekt doesn't affect the game-group.

Ok nice to hear that.

The rain map was just an example, I could change so that it does not affect the game group if it is needed.

How I did that? It was very easy, just a group with a quad above the game group and the sun and moon are behind it.

I don´t know how pos_to works...

Anyway here you can see how it works.

You simply make a huge quad in a group in front of the game group, then you make it a bit gray... then assign it a color envelope that has a near 0% occupaciy at day, and a 100% occupacy at night. Set this group as 0, 0 parax/y, so it will cover the players screen.

Take care however never to have exact 0% occupacy as due to a teeworlds bug it will suddendly flip to 100%.

Also take care that envolopes are not synced between players, for example on bloodmusic, it turns night exactly five minutes after you have joined. That means some players have day while others have night.... Always made some confusion, since player go ooohhh and ahhh in the chat about the light and star effects when night comes, while others don't yet see a thing.

I think he meant: When you create a map please take into consideration that envelopes are not synced.

Hm you wrote "set this group as 0" and then a comma, so it sounds strange to me. Anyway forget about that the fact is we know how to do it don´t we xD (Maybe my english is too bad to understand exactly what you write xD)

So how to sync envelopes? oO

Does that mean:

sv_map_reload 0   --->   Envelopes start when player joins, so that everybody sees other things in the same moment

sv_map_reload 1   --->   Envelopes don´t start again when player join, it´s like binded to the server

??

Yeah I know that sv_reload_map 1 restarts the map but I wondered what Landil wanted to tell me.
I think reload everytime a player joins won´t be a good solution xD
