rendermax¶

This plugin provides a collection of OpenGL lighting filters that affect how the map is drawn to the screen.

Usage¶

rendermax light: Light the map tiles realistically. Outside tiles are light during the day and dark at night. Inside tiles are always dark unless a nearby unit is lighting it up, as if they were carrying torches.
rendermax light sun <hour>|cycle: Set the outside lighting to correspond with the specified day hour (1-24), or specify cycle to have the lighting follow the sun (which is the default).
rendermax light reload: Reload the lighting settings file.
rendermax trippy: Randomize the color of each tile. Used for fun, or testing.
rendermax disable: Disable any rendermax lighting filters that are currently active.

For better visibility, try changing the black color in palette to non totally black. See Bay12 forums thread 128487 for more info.
