Okay, I'm almost done converting the Lighting Storm to an Ion Cannon. I've got everything perfect (it doesn't even require a beacon like Psycho's version) except for the sky-darkening effect. I can't seem to get rid of it and it tends to bug up the screen since the modified code only calls the darken effect for a few frames. Is there any wat to remove the screen shading entirely?

One way is to edit the map; in FA2YR, there is a menu where you edit the normal light and the light when the storm is active.
I'll take a look to see if there is something in rulesmd to do the same, but i'm not sure I can find something...

I'm failrly sure that the only way to do that is by editing the maps, like BaRaKa_ said.

Okay, but is there any way to keep the darken effect off of random maps?

[Kravvitz]

I do not know of any method to change things like that in random maps.

try editing the ambient light in maps..it maybe hardcoded to trigger to darken and lightning clouds just create and lightning crashes..

AFAIK, those kind of settings are in the code of the types themselves.
