New look for checkout

Had it in my mind how checkout would look at night. So I did this .

Here is a run through to see how it looks

Prediction

Isn't checkout inside, so technically night time would still be bright inside if the lights were on?

Well done Muzzza makes the map feel totally different I like everyone having only m4.
for anyone that wants to play it I have added to our map rotation...

That is REALLY cool!

Have you used a "Skylight" actor to kill the shadows?

It would be interesting to knock the outer shell of the mall off that and make it an outdoor building area!

(This addresses the "it's indoor" comment above.)

original checkout has just short of 1000 light points inside and outside of the shops .
also has blazing sunshine coming through the roof , i am suprised there were any shadows on it at all .
i wanted to change the overall feel of the map . also wanted to try and tackle the shadow bleed we get .
to get the effect of night in the shopping mall that has a glass roof i had to remove over half of its light points.then give it a moon and night sky.
as you cant just copy and paste an official map and start changing stuff , you have to piece it all together like a huge jigsaw puzzle . as i struggle to line things up accurately you will notice i have had to use some bulky wood around some appatures to cover the small gaps.
a custom load out also gives a plain and simple fair play space .no sniper hooah lol.

and thank you guys for the comments.
keebs , i am finding it doesnt matter what i change in settings , we are still getting shadow bleed through mesh that is set to not accept dynamic shadows m8.
i wonder if a dev could answer this one , do the server settings for shadows over rule some editor settings ?

Good Job Muzza, I bet the Devs will be happy as the Light bill will be much less

This looks really cool! I didn't think arcade would look cool lit up but it does!

Have only put 2 lights over air hockey tables and removed lots of the original lights to let the black light volume actually do its job of lighting the arcade . So no smiling as yout teeth will glow lol. Lights up your camo pretty well too.

Good job Muzza

Love a bit of late night shopping.

Wow, I could definitely play the heck out of this version! We needed more diversity in smaller maps. Almost all the maps feel the same (not necessarily the layout), more like the atmosphere and limitations as far as interacting with the maps. Aside from the occasional door or elevator (few and far between), could just be me.

Cheers guys .
The custom load out is
M4a1 rifle
M1911 pistol
1 frag grenade
2 flash
Check my workshop for other maps that are immersive .

I am still working on the shadows in this map .

-SD-DELTON-ACI-

It seems the shadows show up when there is a door or window nearby have you noticed that m8..

=[101st]=Muzza455

yeh , its winding me up now .
one more update maybe tomorrow after light buil and we see if the shadow bleed still here .

=[101st]=Muzza455

well without switching all the shadows off , and i dont want to do that .
i dont know what else to do to stop shadow bleed from the window of furniture store .
have added a mesh in there to see if it helps will find out tomorrow but not holding out much hope . managed now to stop it bleeding through all the flooring , just the window surrounding wall that is the problem now.

try using a sky light , is dominant lighting set to render light shafts ?

=[101st]=Muzza455

yep . but had shadow bleed before that . all the way back to original checkout .
have disabled the dynamic shadows setting on all meshes and every light source .
