Best Distance View [Solved]
I've seen several forum topics about this but I found different information about it, so what would be the best NearScreen and FarScreen distant choices in the sky file that makes everything as visible as possible and without the white texture?

Re: Best Distance View
please, please, PLEASE PLEASE Change the yavin skydome/textures/files. They are a sign of an amateur. Your map would be so much better if it was changed to anything different, imho!
Try removing these lines:
unless you want fog in which case follow the fog tutorial.
Try removing these lines:
Code: Select all
FogColor(144,153,156); ReflectionFogColor(57, 66, 68); FogRange(90.000000, 350.000000)- DarthAphotic

Re: Best Distance View
YES! Thank you so much Loopy this has improved the map GREATLY!

Also, I do know Yavin sky stuff is a sign of an amature but I did skin it, adding skinned Kashyyk clouds, and lightning effects. Do you still think it'd be better changed?

Re: Best Distance View
Your welcome!
RE: yavin sky textures/dome/etc: Well, since it is not noticeable in game, I guess you can leave it. it was a just-so-you-know type of thing. I doubt anyone will notice its yavins since it is re-skinned.
emi-offtopic: I did not know the only thing you need in that first line is enable(1). That helps a lot for me too.

Re: Best Distance View
I don't see anything wrong with folks using the Yavin skydome and textures, it fits nicely in certain settings. I think some believe it is "a sign of an amateur" simply because it is default, use whatever you think works best with your map.
@DarthAphotic
Since you are satisfied with the result I will mark this thread as solved.
Removing all those parameters might not be the best decision though, because the game probably won't utilize the lowrez geometry and textures.
