Initial Experience

Whispers88,

As always, your plugins are top notch! I love the concept of this plugin and what it offers. I wanted to provide some feedback off my experience with this plugin. Setting it up was easy and straight forward. The only thing i would suggest (if possible) is adding the ability to control the world brightness in inverted mode. I like that the sky is dark and world is bright, but i would like to be able to adjust the world brightness so it doesn't look like noon with a dark sky.
 

As far as function goes, I am having an issue when I adjust the config and reload the plugin, it will set everything in my server (world and map) to pictch black whenever Inverted Nights Mode is turned on. I increased the sky darkness to 1.0 which lit up the sky, but everything in the map is dark. I've attached my config below, and a screenshot of my server.

{
  "Max Night Brightness": 5.0,
  "Night Contrast (Lower = brighter, Default = 1.5f)": 1.0,
  "Update Transition Rate Seconds (Time taken between transition updates)": 0.2,
  "Update Amount (Amount to update by to reach target brightness)": 0.05,
  "Night Delay (Delay till transition after sunset in seconds)": 1.0,
  "Inverted Nights Mode (Makes nights very bright)": true,
  "Inverted Nights Sky Darkness (lower is darker)": 1.0,
  "Use Night Light (Adds night vision to immediate proximity)": false,
  "Nightlight Brightness (Adds a night light around the player)": 5.0,
  "Nightlight Distance (Modifies the throw of the night light)": 5.0
}

Additionally, there was an instance where I turned the nightlight on to test it, but when i turned it off in the config It still stayed on (even after unloading the plugin). I found that logging off and back into the server did the trick to fix it.

same i can not work this one out i just want it Inverted Nights like it shows on the image on the plugin page

it starts to work then it get pitch black

Thanks for the feed back @AlphaBob ill have an update out in a few hours with the following:

• Fix for nightlight not being removed when unloading the plugin
• Fix for going to the correct inverted night setting when loading the plugin during a night cycle
• Admin /settime command (for testing settings and times)

@WarKingz These fixes should also fix your issue, but let me know how things go once the next update is out

@AlphaBob@WarKingz
The new update is out with the option to adjust brightness in the inverted mode. Here are the patch notes:

• Fix for nightlight not being removed when unloading the plugin
• Fix for going to the correct inverted night setting when loading the plugin during a night cycle
• Added Admin /settime command (for testing settings and times)
• Added brightnights.admin permission to use /settime
• Added config option - Inverted Nights Environment Darkness (1 Dark, 0 Bright)
• Added config option - Inverted Nights Start Position 0-100 (increases the starting pos of the bright moon)

Let me know how you go and if you have any other issues or questions.

I'm still running into the issue where it will show the inverted night for 1-2 seconds, and then everything turns pitch black darkness (black environment, blakc sky, and the oil rig lit in the distance).

For future reference:

Turned out to be a conflict with the night vision plugin

Hello Whispers88

Great plugin.

Using the below config, our players are commenting on the night sky being dark, but without any stars. Is it possible to show the stars while using the inverted mode?

{
  "Max Night Brightness": 5.0,
  "Night Contrast (Lower = brighter, Default = 1.5f)": 1.0,
  "Update Transition Rate Seconds (Time taken between transition updates)": 0.4,
  "Update Amount (Amount to update by to reach target brightness)": 0.04,
  "Night Delay (Delay till transition after sunset in seconds)": 1.0,
  "Inverted Nights Mode (Makes nights very bright)": true,
  "Inverted Nights Sky Darkness (lower is darker)": 0.01,
  "Inverted Nights Environment Darkness (1 Dark, 0 Bright)": 09,
  "Inverted Nights Start Position 0-100 (increases the starting pos of the bright moon)": 0,
  "Use Night Light (Adds night vision to immediate proximity)": false,
  "Nightlight Brightness (Adds a night light around the player)": 5.0,
  "Nightlight Distance (Modifies the throw of the night light)": 5.0
}

Glad you like the plugin ! Unfortunately the way the sky box is manipulated its not possible to see stars in the inverted night mode.
