Textures of buildings looking dark

Post by Gonzalo »

Hi, I don't understand why textures of certain buildings which look ok on Art of Supremacy look very dark on Empire Earth 2. I have tried lightening textures and materials but the problem persists. I add images from the campaigns on original Empire Earth 2:

The vanilla EE2 has no lighting system which EE2: AOS has. I usually create two versions of the .nif model when such issue occurs, and then modify one to change the diffuse color and other stuff until it looks good. Things needed to change seem to be random, depending on the model.

Wouldn't it be easier to create a mod just for the expansion pack? Why do you need to have it on the normal EE2?

Thank you for the explanation. You are right, it would be easier to limit myself to the expansion, but I'd like to mod also the vanilla version, or at least not to break it.
