Opinion on guard light/visual acuity after 1.08?

[grayman]

Send me the map you're using, plus instructions on how you're setting up your 25% etc light levels.

 

I can't gauge this stuff w/o looking at the math behind it. The factors involved are:

 

1 - lightgem brightness

2 - the visibility equation

3 - AI visual acuity

4 - probability

5 - distance

6 - time of day

7 - whether it's snowing outside

8 - whether it's Tuesday or Saturday in Belgium

9 - whether I've been fed or not

Wow! Yeah, that is way too forgiving in low light. I wouldn't expect that type of behavior until around 10 or 15% brightness.

This is a fine example of game makers who are gamers! To all the people involved in The Dark Mod, you are awesome, and keep up the great work!!

I've attached the map to the relevant bug report: http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=3492

 

I think the light is currently set to 35%. The map has only one light, the ambient_world light. I just change the "value" setting in the light properties window to change the brightness of the light. Thus far I've tested 75, 50, 35, and 25.

 

The AI starts facing away from you, so you can step straight to the side so he has a clear line of sight, and then wait for him to turn around. He faces each direction for 20 seconds.

Just to let people know...2.0 will include a menu option to adjust how well AI see the player, so those that find the current settings too forgiving will have the option to boost it.

May the god of videogames bless you people.

There will actually be 4 settings: Nearly Blind, Forgiving (the default, similar to 1.08), Challenging, and Hardcore.
