Ambient Light Level Equivalents

Post #1by jeffmack » 09.08.2012, 01:02

What "set AmbientLightLevel" values are equivalent to the manual "Low" and "Medium" ambient light levels? Obviously the value of 0.0 is equivalent to "None." Thanks...

Hi,

Here's a tip for you:

8) The ambient light is controlled with the keys } and {

Each time you hit one of these keys the ambient light increase or decrease by steps of 0.05
and the new value is displayed for one second at the bottom left of the screen.

Starting with "none" "low" or "medium" it is easy to find the corresponding values. :)

:mrgreen:

Thanks jogad, but I already know that. I'm looking for the CEL script "set AmbientLightLevel" equivalent values for "Low" and "Medium." Thanks!

:oops: Ok! I explain more...

The value displayed on the screen is the same than the parameter of SetAmbientLightLevel.

If you set ambient light to "none" in Celestia and hit { you see

The displayed level is 0.05 more than "none".
As you guessed "none" is thus 0.05 - 0.05 = 0

Se same method gives 0.1 for "low" and 0.25 for "medium"
