Changing Sunlight Effects In the DS9 System

[xg125]

Hello.

I have Kobayashi Maru installed and I've noticed that in the DeepSpace9 system, the sunlight is yellow, which to me makes the system look a little dark. Is there a way to change this to clear/white either in the configuration or editing the system files?

Thanks.

yes, there is, but due to the nature of python-which is case sensetive and fussy-plus the fact that the files are hard to find if you don't know where to look, well, it's a challenge.

You could do it in Edit() mode but you'd have to do it each time you load up BC

If you're feeling brave you can use the program I wrote for DS9FX development (somewhere in 2010 possibly I think) which allows you to load a script file which contains the light sources and allows you to more "easily" edit the values.

CAUTION: Obviously this was never intended for an outside release so I never took the time to refine the code, fix the bugs... Anyway if you're feeling brave you can try it out. I'm releasing the source also if someone wants to play around with this. Backup first before editing obviously, there is no documentation too but it should be fairly simple to use it, I think.

The file you want is located in:scripts\System\DeepSpace9\DeepSpace91.py
