i was hoping to just do a search to avoid posting but the search isn't working. anyways i was just wondering about the values in a .sky file and if anyone can explain wat these values change?
SkyInfo()
{
Enable(1);
FogColor(194,197,199);
FogRange(0.5, 600.0);
PS2()
{
NearSceneRange(0.5, 50.0,80.0);
NearSplitScreenRange(0.5, 50.0, 80.0);
FarSceneRange(300.0);
}
XBOX()
{
NearSceneRange(0.5, 60.0, 100.0);
FarSceneRange(1000.0);
NearSplitScreenRange(0.1, 50.0, 80.0);
SplitOptions()
{
FarSceneRange(0.0);
FogRange(5.0, 70.0);
EnableFadeAdjustWithZoom(0);
}
}
PC()
{
NearSceneRange(0.5, 60.0, 100.0);
FarSceneRange(1000.0);
}
}
DomeInfo()
{
Texture("myg1_sky_dome.tga");
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(60);
DomeModel()
{
Geometry("myg1_sky_dome");
}
DomeModel()
{
Geometry("myg1_sky_mountains_01");
MovementScale(0.995);
}
}
EnvTexture("");

Enable(1); = Following lines; on or off.
FogColor(194,197,199); = Hex value for fog color
FogRange(0.5, 600.0); - first number = when the fog starts fading, last number = when fog is fully opaque.
NearSceneRange(0.5, 60.0, 100.0);
FarSceneRange(1000.0);
= where the map fades out and when to replace models with lowrez, never really experimented with what number does what.
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(60); = How blurred the sky is I think,
MovementScale(0.995); = How fast the sky rotates (i think)

Don't think so, and why would you want to remove the sky? lol

Penguin explained it perfectly, but somebody (sorry, but I forget who) gave me a link not too long ago about the same thing, so I'll post it here since I think it might have some other useful stuff regarding skydomes.

Very useful, and it even has pictures!

You can't literally "move" the skydome, but you can put objects in the sky and move them. Watch the clouds on Kashyyk.

FYI: For dome models such as the gas planet, yavin, that appear in the sky, you can offset them up and down, as for rotating them, I never discovered, that seems to be dependent on the dome model's msh itself.
Also the movement scale is how much the dome model moves around when you jump up and down. A value close to 1 means the object (ex a moon) will not move at all when the player moves. A value of .75 will make the moon move up and down along with the player! Kind of freaky!

NearSceneRange(0.5, 60.0, 100.0); = Controls highrez/lowrez
FarSceneRange(1000.0); = controls where the map fades out completely (all you'll see is the sky)
