[1.40]Diffuse Color Lights

[Alang7]

Hi guys!

I'm trying to figure out what kind of color system are using the new flares? The old color values no longer works on the newest update, so I bet SCS changed the color calculation.

On .sui file, I read that type of color system: "setup: lumen_hue_saturation". How it works? Maybe some devs could be so kindly to explain me? Thank you

EDIT: It's fine, I already understand it myself

Maybe you can tell how it works. My old colors are very overexposed. I use it for my interior light

I can be wrong, but looks like SCS move to HSB (Hue, Saturation, Brightness) color scheme when "setup" attribute used.

I have tried the red color with photoshop, but it comes to completely different HSB values than SCS indicates in e.g. the interior.lights.sii file in the hookup folder.

SCS code says "diffuse_color: (5, 0, 100)" but in photoshop is this white

@Braakie HSB might be Hue, Saturation, Brightness but in \unit\hookup\tr_light_flares.sii it says this:

Code: Select all

	setup: lumen_hue_saturation

which is Brightness, Hue, Saturation, in that order.

Okay, I'm using this website http://colorizer.org/ to try different color codes. But whatever combination I try, I don't get the red color with the values in vehicle_int_light.sii.
The closest thing to it is HSL, but then it is a darker shade of red.

I use this code from the vehicle_int_light.sii in e hookup folder.

Code: Select all

flare_vehicle: flare.vehicle.intlight_bck.red
{
	dir_type: wide
	light_type: electrics

	type: spot
	setup: lumen_hue_saturation
	diffuse_color: (5, 0, 100)               I use this color code
	specular_color: (3, 0, 100)
	range: 2.0
	inner_angle: 5.0
	outer_angle: 100.0
	forward_distance: false

@include "vehicle_bulb_type_incandescent.sui"
}

Maybe lumen equals Lightness. When I increase it from 5 to 50 red really turns red. In the game 5 is enough, when I use 50 it is very bright light.
But when you use the color converter with scs values, red is against black.

From my undertanding, "lumen" is a unit of light (more lumens, more bright). So HSL seems likely.

[Braakie]

I did some more tests this afternoon, if you determine the hue and saturation (the color), then you can determine the strength of the color with the lumen. Hence, with a low lumen value, the color is very dark. For red you would then come up with a lumen of 50. higher than 50 is lighter to white and lower than 50 is darker to black.

Thank you to everyone for their input

Interesting topic. I'm not in beta so I guess I have some work to do updating a whole lot of public mods, once I update my game. .

Hi guys,

The first number on the diffuse_color and also on specular_color is the "Lumen = Intensity of the light" second one is "HUE" and third one is "Saturation"

For example, my yellow lights for my talmu looks like this:

diffuse_color: (10, 37, 75)
specular_color: (7, 37, 75)

Hope it helps
