Hold on...what do you mean by 'in the atmosphere' ? By that, are you saying with ground below?

You can simply reskin a skybox to cheat and get that effect. It won't look as nice as that, but it's a start.

whew sounds like quiet a project since there is no ground i do sugggest making it in a space template. Next i would scale the planet object to take up the entire bottem or one side of the map or make a sky file that would do something like that. Next change the lighting to match the map. I'm not sure how to get the cloud effects but possibly making some mist/ ground mist effects could do it. it would take a lot of work and you will probably now be able to get it as good as the pic but you could get it relatively close.

You could make it a ground map, as you can set it so the terrain is not there at all using an option in ZeroEditor.

That was also used for the original kamino map.

i highly do not advise that if you look in the map you have at least 3 venators in a normal ground map that would take up a ton of space instead of going through all the trouble just make it a space map and just do a lot of environment editing i think thats just an easier workaround than removing terrain and then doing all the editing

ok I will try both possibilities :wink:

two other questions :
How can I place more than 1 venator?
And how can I place capital ships on a ground map?

back on topic placing more than one venator is pretty easy it's just a series of objects that are next to each other in the shape of the venator second go to

bf2_modtools folder then look for the folder space_template open it and go to this directory

worlds/@#$ open it in there are odf and msh folders you need to look in there to find the venator odf and msh files i do not suggest copying the entire folder since it is huge and will add a lot to your map file size. also i believe there are premade cap ships in the released assets folder here at gt
