- - - Day-Night Cycle - - - for any map by CCCP84
The full Day-Night cycle.
The duration of day and night can be easily configured in the [Events] section.
It can be copy-pasted into any map. Simply copy the text from the file and paste it into any empty space in your map file.
Also, delete the old Lighting section from your map.
You don't need to do anything else. Everything will work.
If radiation was applied during a lighting change, post-radiation artifacts will appear. After daylight, these are erased by an invisible lamp.
If your map has lamps, they won't work properly. They should be removed.
You need to take into account that in a real game the time will be longer due to lags. 60, 45, 30 minutes it is time with ideal conditions without any lags.
I did this back in 2022 on Oceania. Now I've isolated the triggers that were previously mixed in with others.
As far as I know, from 2022 until now, Oceania was the only publicly available map with such a cycle implemented.
Now, I think there will be more )
We could also consider including this cycle as an option in the CNCNET client.
If you mention me inside your map file with this line, I will be pleased:

Fan made maps have been using day to night cycles since the Final Alert map maker was released 26 years ago. You can make the same lighting changes in TS maps too, so this has been common knowledge since before the game was even released.. _________________
I've never seen a map like this.
Can you show me?
I don't think such a full-blown smooth retint has ever been used anywhere. A simple brightness adjustment doesn't produce the desired effect. This is something completely different. It's a completely different level. QUICK_EDIT
If you search the forum you can find several old topics about day night cycles, you should be able find some maps in the archive with day night cycles too. _________________
When I was doing my cycle, I didn't find anything. The most I was told was that someone was doing ambient triggers, which is completely unsuitable for this purpose.
There has never been, and still isn't, a fully functional cycle suitable for use. Other than that. QUICK_EDIT
GREAT idea for extra immersion , wonder if this works on campagin missions too something like the soviets invading new York at evening and deploying the psychic beacon during afternoon or night makes for better storytelling element _________________ SQUARE ENIX REMAKE FINAL FANTASY 2 QUICK_EDIT
