Changelogs
Version 2.1
The thirteenth and fourteenth locations have become more like night, and the fog in these locations is better combined with lighting.
Version 2.0
There is a little less fog in the eleventh location, and it has become darker to better match the ambient lighting.
Version 1.9
Slightly better visibility in the eighth location
Darker fog in the eighth and ninth locations
Version 1.8
The fifth location became more like night
In the fifth location there is slightly less fog near and more in the distance
Version 1.7
The fog parameters in the fourth location have been slightly changed
Version 1.6
The mod is divided into an immutable part and an updatable one
The fog parameters in the second and third locations have been slightly changed
Version 1.5
The more natural version is now the main one
Some locations have become more like night
Fog in several locations is even better combined with lighting
Up-close visibility has been improved in some locations
Version 1.2
The fog is slightly darker, for a better combination with the lighting, and its density increases even more smoothly
Version 1.0
Slightly smoother increase in fog density for better scene depth and naturalness
Version 0.3
In some locations, the amount of fog near the player is slightly reduced
Changes:
- Ambient lighting is much darker and a slightly different shade - The color of the fog is more natural and matches the lighting better - Less fog and more visibility distance
I use it with Color Grading disabled, so the picture is more natural and there is no complete blackness in the shadows. The changes are applied after loading a new location or for a new game.
Installation
The first option (if no other mods are installed):
1) (only for the first install or if the game has received an official update) Unzip "necessary_files.rar" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Thing Remastered" 2) Unzip "Dark.rar" to "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Thing Remastered" 3) In the directory "\Saved Games\Nightdive Studios\The Thing" open "thingconfig.cfg" 4) At the very bottom, add the line: "ResourceDir" = "mods"
The second option (if there is already a folder with resources of another mod):
Just place the "levels" folder from the archive "necessary_files.rar" and from "Dark.rar" to the folder of any already installed mod (mods that change locations are incompatible with Darkness)
