i found that making the number 0.000001 seems to make the sky not go dark even for a single frame and i havent noticed a sideeffect yet, tho in buildmode the sky is still dark when showing enviorement (doesnt bother me much tho)

also would it be possible to make a mod that changes the workbench to have the night sky instead of a dark version of the day sky? perhaps that could avoid that issue with the sky going dark?

Why would I make a shader mod mess with tile definitions? That would just make it even less compatible with other mods

you should make it edit the workbench size to 127x127x127 meters (max workbench size)

Which is exactly what I had

@CaptainWatt yeah it won’t work with opal

@NotSpringPizza you could try that yeah

nevermind, I figured out why it broke, I had a shader mod, I disabled it like Kezrah said below

I happened to have this pulled up still after coming back to my computer. I did have Opal Shaders still up. Thats something I enjoy having as well. I wonder if you could achieve a dark editor differently? I wouldn't know. Good luck.

To what? Like 0.1?

@NotSpringPizza try increasing the number slightly

For starters, everyone having issues with it not working at all, make sure you don’t have any other shader mods enabled

So is there a solution or should I try changing the number values? If so, then what do I change it to?

are you using any other shader mods?

It went back to not working. For now I just won't use the mod. I really hope you find a way to increase consistency! Good luck!

Lmao. Sadly it’s horribly inconsistent, idk if I can do anything about that but I’ll try

Update: Changed the value back to .004 now everything is working.

Update: I changed the value to 1, and it has turned my sky black, but it also turned the editor black! Half a win lol.

Nope, just default.

I see many other comments about it. It would be great to have a reference number to change the shader value. I can't get it to work and numerous reloads/changing the number hasn't worked. Thank you for the creation nonetheless.

and it isnt turning the workbench black?

Yes, I did.

@NotSpringPizza did you enable it when creating the world?

I don't know why but it won't work for me, I even disabled workbench addons just to see if it fixed this one it still doesn't work, if its the shader value I have to change in the description then what do i need to change it to?

Honestly should have been in the game from the start, Thank you for saving our eyesight.

Because people want that and it hasn’t been made before. Why are so many ocean liners popular if it’s just an ocean liner?

why is this soo popular if its just a modification to make the editor in dark mode

@M a g I c yeah I’m not sure if I can really fix that

this is something i didnt know i needed but now i do

@kezrah, the time was set to roughly mid day, I have a 3060

It works well but my eyes don't do well with dark backgrounds.

Finally. If the devs won't do it, the community will!

thank you so much, ive been waiting for something like this forever

At least for me it’s only black for part of 12:00, but it’s very inconsistent across devices

Ah, thank you. I don't know why I didn't think of the possibility of it being a threshold. I'll have to see if I can get it to work, but I have my doubts considering I typically keep the time locked at exactly 12:00 while I'm testing vehicles. Will likely have to forego appeasing my OCD and just find another time to lock it too.

@Drift_91 the mod works by detecting when the sun is in a certain position, the smaller the number the more precise it is, but if it’s too small it won’t work at all, and the bigger it is the more the sky will be black outside the workbench

nice my eyes thank you

How does one determine the correct number to change to if the sky is black outside of the editor? I don't understand what the step() function does, otherwise I'd probably be able to figure it out myself. I can see that distance() is comparing the two vectors, the current sun and the editor sun. Is step() rounding the distance or something, and I need to change the value it's rounded to the nearest of?

Ohhhhh i got it i feel so dumb now

@Kezrah How do i activate it because it doesn't work with stormloader.

So how would i activate it? Through Stormloader?

its not an addon, its a mod

I forgot to post the other half of the first comment lol

@Kezrah It will not show up in my addons for creating a world.

@M a g i c
yeah the sky and workbench share the same shader file, so sometimes the sky turns black, between what in game times is it black and what graphics system do you have?

@coastmanPC
whats the actual issue your having?

I've subscribed and unsubscribed to it, I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the game, and have verified the integrity of game files multiple times. Any help?

the mod makes the sky and world dark for some reason

yooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO you are fucking awesome dude

nothing else is required, you have to enable it on world creation though

this is the best thing anyone has added to the workshop, great job!

do i just need to subscribe, and should it just work? no like other mods that i need to install for this to work?
