I just have a variety of questions on how to modify the environment in a space map. Please reply if you can answer any of these.

-Where does the game call for the planet skin that is used? How would I go about creating a custom skin?

-How would I change the size and position of the planet in a space map?

-How could I change the position of the sun? How could I change the lighting effects it uses?

-How would I change the space background for a map? How could I create a custom background?

Thanks for reading!

The skins are located in the world/msh folder. (with names like spa9_sky)

The only way I know how to switch the planet position is by switching the sky. (For instance, I got the Endor planet below the battle by using spa7_sky_Felucia and then giving it the endor skins)

idk

idk

for 1, 2 and 4, you can do all that with the TGAs, for 3, i think you can change it either in the sky file or the fx file

The problem though, is that I don't know what skins are being called for, so I don't know what I need to modify. Also, I don't think you can change the size or position of the planet in the TGA file... (and from the planet skins I've seen, I have no idea what mechanism is used to make continents/oceans out of them)

all the TGAs are in the world one folder, every thing in thr sky is a TGA, the planet is a TGA and the clouds that you see going over the world is another TGA, ships and lasers and explosions are fx and msh files that are called from the sky file
