How to darken the sky

Post by noMatt »

The titles is the question as alway :D
How to darken the sky? I am pretty sure its something in the .sky file but i saw no editing guide in the FAQ thread so i am asking here :) Do i have to darken the texture or is there a better way?
Maybe in the ZE on my directional light?
Thanks in advance

Are you talking about sky texture, sky fog, or sky lighting?

Take a look in the documentation that came with the modtools, too. This is just basic lighting stuff you'll edit through the lighting tab. I'd suggest using a deep blue color instead of a pure black (for your lighting), as that makes a better "nighttime" effect.

If you are talking about all of the glow in your Yavin sky (assuming this is about your recently released alpha) then you'd best be off changing the sky texture altogether, perhaps to a tatooine sky or something of the like. The Yavin sky is simply covered in nasty glow.

Don't forget about the vertex lighting that might be present in the skydome mesh.
