Football Manager 26 - Enhanced Environment Overhaul ALPHA v0.03

Hey everyone,

Thanks for sticking with everything with the Enhanced Environment Overhaul, especially with the recent bugs that were introduced for 0.02. A lot is fixed and improved in those aspects. Much of it performance wise came from the fact that the light cones were rendering multiplicative and hence sometimes gave you two million rendered objects. This has been severely changed and now you have 4 presets to choose from using numpad 0.

• Low, Medium (default), High and Ultra.

Another note is tha the skybox and bloom picker have been totally removed from the lightinginject, meaning no more issues on that front! You do not need to do anything else, just install them in the places the installation guide tells you.

Daylight in non custom stadiums was too harsh, and night light was too dark, so that has been tweaked. Now sunlight is less harsh reflecting off the pitch. My floodlights were fading up the moment the sun came off its peak, rather than waiting until it was actually getting dark. On a winter afternoon with the sun low, that had them running at 29% at two o'clock. On your custom grounds that's barely noticeable because the fixtures are gentler. On FM's own grounds the floodlights are enormous, so 29% of enormous is a pitch that looks like somebody turned a searchlight on it.

Floodlights now stay completely off until it's genuinely dim, then come up from there. A real dusk still lights them, and so does a proper storm at any hour, which is the behaviour I wanted in the first place. If you think they come on too early or too late for your taste, it's a config value now.

Keep in mind, this is still an Alpha build, and you may encounter rough edges.

For this build specifically: if you find a CUSTOM ground where the players are still dark at night, tell me which one and roughly what time the match kicked off. That's enough for me to go and look at it.
