Don’t want to hijack Avoc’s thread with this, so a new one.
I played around with the skies of the stock-maps and it was possible for me to change the skyboxes of Fueldump, Goldrush and Oasis.
Works well so far, but how can I remove the Sun and the Moon for Oasis and Goldrush?
How can I change the skybox for Battery, Railgun and Radar?
The attached file is only a example (Sorry Avoc for ruining the skybox you made).
:stroggtapir:
The problem with maps like Radar Battery and suchs will be the fog I guess. You cant erase that without a new compile and due to that the skybox may look ugly. Other than that I will have a look on the scripts later.
As Indy said, replace sun with transparent tga. And if fog is a sprite the replace it too. And not to ruin other maps, add some remapshaders to the script
I’m not sure how the sun placed on these maps, but if it is placed by shader, write a new shader that has no sun!
edit: here is the goldrushshader:
textures/skies/sd_goldrush
{
qer_editorimage textures/skies/sky_8.tga
q3map_skylight 65 3
q3map_sun 0.3 0.3 0.45 60 35 45

// rgbGen identityLighting
//rgbGen const ( 0.6 0.6 0.6 )
rgbGen const ( 0.4 0.4 0.4 )
}
}
that line creates the sun:
sunshader textures/skies_sd/full_moon2
so if you do a pak like z_skychangepak with a shader that overwrites this shader you should be able todo anything
no need to play around with scripts and remapshader
You do unless you want to ruin all maps that use the sky you are replacing, a script with remapshader ensures it only happens to what you intend the replacement for. Personally I hate all texture mods and similar nonsensical mods that servers insist on using.
