the som module is very good if u are board
Is there any documentatiion for parameters on the town construction module for OA? just wondering if you can adjust size of area covered to make bigger towns? - have tried placing a few near eachother which works to an extent but there are gaps, any help from BI would be appreciated.

The Wiki fails to tell you where to actually type the parameters though, something I have never been able to work out in any of the modules.
...for as long as there is life upon this planet, there will indeed be conflict...
...for without conflict, there can be no life.
Its init line.
any docu on the environment effects?
I am looking over the modules_e pbo content, and i can't find additional info about it..Is it merged with the weather effects now?
maybe i am getting to old for this..
Spoiler:
Does anybody know how the new OA modules "colours" and "effects" are working? thx for help.

I added wiki entries for them based on what I managed to figure out from the repository.
Environment - Effects
Environment - Colors
particle.fsm
postprocess.fsm
Colors will be desaturated during the night.? I thought the engine itself caused desaturation of dark nonlit surfaces at night. Ref previous beta fix. Does this artificially desaturate more, or what's the deal here?
The method Environment - Effects use to determine day or night is not good as long as it doesn't take into account island latitude. If used on Thirsk (way up north in Finland) you may not get good results. I.e. a bluenight effect will clash badly as they have midsummer sun (sun never sets, it just touches the horizon in the north at 0:00 before rising again). A better approach for this would be getting the suns actual altitude.
Btw, the .fsm's are not accessible from that location unless you register.
