New character map is DARK

[Roja]

When you go to the new character screen, the time of day is set to 0. It's dark outside, you can't see enough to create a character properly. It should be fully daylight all the time on this map.

 

Can someone please fix this? It's a pretty big bug

Okay, I've changed it to use 2:00, which is midday. It's bright, but midday means we don't show off our shadows, so it could be changed an hour either way if you want, which wouldn't make it much darker.

Actually, the shadows suck big time on the character models..for a full effect, look at a bald human male

 

So the less shadows the better x.x

Maybe, but when I tested it, the bald head looked rather... Flat... Like frying pans were in use already.

well, i was actually trying to make that map a "dungeon" tagged map, so there would be no shadows, but full light. However it was still dark strangely.

This is why i'd prefer no shadows on the new character map:

You're a new player and you zoom in and you say..ewww!

 

So I hope I can get the dungeon map to work with your fix..don't know why it didn't work before.

Can you also check to see why Dungeon mode does not work on this map? And why particles do not show up?

The New Character screen has it's own seperate rendering code,
