Problem with the sky

Post by baumerindustries »

hi
I've got a new problem with my spacemap.
It's called 'Wild Space' and I don't want a planet in sight so I took the sky of the death star.
but now if I fly out of the hangar I can't see the enemy's ship and suddenly it's there. if I turn around from there, I can't see my own ship.
I probbably know the problem : I think the sky model is too small, but I'm not sure and I've got no idea how to solve the problem

Are you only using the Death Star skydome model or its entire .sky file?

I use:
dea1.sky (renamed to WS1.sky WS1 is my worldname)
dea1_sky_dome.msh
dea1_sky_dome.tga

thats all

EDIT:
This is my first sky-change so I maybe made a beginner's mistake

maybe the skydome isn't big enough for a space map?

the problem is that he uses the deathstar skyfile with the near and arscenerange values. natiurally they are far smaller for an indoor map than for a spacemap, thats why the ships arent displayed at a large distance. take the original skyfile, but change the skydomemodle and texture.

you obviously either added or deleted a bracket accidentally while editing the .sky-file.

the sky file:
Hidden/Spoiler:
SkyInfo()
{
Enable(1);
VisibilityRange(1000);

PS2()
{
NearSceneRange(0.3, 1000.0, 1100.0);
FarSceneRange(7000.0);
}
XBOX()
{
NearSceneRange(0.3, 1000.0, 1100.0);
FarSceneRange(7000.0);
}
PC()
{
NearSceneRange(1000.0, 1100.0, 1000.0, 1100.0);
FarSceneRange(7000.000000, 8000.0);
}
}


DomeInfo()
{
Texture("dea1_sky_dome.tga");
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(30);
}

DomeModel()
{
Geometry("dea1_sky_dome");
}
}

DomeInfo()
{
Texture("dea1_sky_dome.tga");
Softness(1);
SoftnessParam(30);
}

DomeModel()
{
Geometry("dea1_sky_dome");
}
}
remove this bracket. DomeModel() is part of DomeInfo(), thats why it is within the brackets.

EDIT
sorry, i forgot that the codetags dont allow coloring. you have to remove the marked bracket.
