nav comp affected by light

Post by safemode »

We really need to make the nav computer screen not affected by the light outside of the ship. Inside the cockpit should not be something that gets blacked out when you're not facing light. Really this is a huge playability issue. I shouldn't have to rotate around to see a screen on my hud, i should just be able to see it. Too much light and you can't read the writing on the buttons, too little and you can't see anything. Not good.


obviously this is directly related to the shader work being done, since this wasn't an issue before, and i have no experience with any of that new code.

I have seen that happen in the old stable version as well so it may not be shader related.

Enjoy the Choice :)

Really, like a true space sim there are light physics. So maybe it might have to do with the sim itself. Do you get what i am saying? 8) :?:

The nav computer is kind of an old bug. Not really sure what to do about that, however. Might just be easier to make it a 2-d texture.
