Multiple sky textures [Solved]

Post by linksith »

Hi, I'm planning on making a map for transporting to different worlds. I'm wanting to make it very big so it will give the effect of different worlds. I want to know how I can give certain areas a certain sky to complete the "different world" effect. Also, is there any way I can add a space part to this?

To make a skydome with different effects in different places, you can try reskinning it to your liking and then placing mountains to block the view of the other parts of the sky.

you should use small skydome/boxes for the seperate areas, however i dont know if battlefront displays them if they are too big or if it supports multiple skydomes at once (this way they would be displayed even in great distance)

Is the skydome an object? Where do I find this magical skydome you speak of? Seriously where do I find it.

I was hoping it would be an object instead of a targa file. But there has to be some sort of file for the game to know the shape of the sky isn't there?
