Night and Day cycles

[Wizardry Dragon]

Is there a way to set a certain map to not follow night and day cycles? I have map01 sectioned off for the Underworld, so it really doesnt make sense that it's following night and day cycles

Not currently... Should the underworld be always in daylight, or should it be night?

[Wizardry Dragon]

Probably the low light you get adround dusk.

Reminds me of a Terry Pratchett quote:

Here and there huge patches of fungi, luminous with decay, cast a faint glow over the ancient stonework.

[Footnote: It didn't need to. Cuddy, belonging to a race that worked underground for preference, and Detritus, a member of a race notoriously nocturnal, had excellent vision in the dark. But mysterious caves and tunnels always have luminous fungi, strangely bright crystals or at a pinch merely an eldritch glow in the air, just in case a human hero comes in and needs to see in the dark. Strange but true.]

How do dungeons work? Couldn't you mark the whole map as being a dungeon? You dont get day/night cycles in dungeons.

Dungeons are flagged by their 'roof' shapes.

Well, problem solved. Just put a roof over the whole map.

'twould make sense, it being the Underworld and all...

Always good to see an unexpected Discworld fan.

Problem is, there's no quick way to put a roof over the entire map, Id have to do it by hand.

And it -already- takes ages to make chunks. I dont need -another- hour-long mapping endeavour.

At this rate, Lazarus will beat TFL in terms of development cycle :\

I agree. Don't waste your time doing that.

If you want, I have already done (in a quick, clever way of course) a rooftop cover for the entire map using mountain tops. I have to versions: one for the map 1 of the Keyring mod and another for a completely blank map.

[Wizardry Dragon]

It's still only a quick fix solution and not really a pernament fix, but if it works, I'm all ears

Is that how it's done in the dreamland in SI?
