Trouble with sky and terrain
Hi,
So I did everything the docs said about changing a new sky, I got the sky assets from Polis Massa, and renamed pol.sky to KPF.sky (I deleted the old one), and everything is where it should be. And then I munge the map, only to find that the top part of the sky is stretched and all weird, pol1_sky_roids does not show up ingame, and there is still that blue mist all across the map.
Also, parts of my terrain don't seem to blend well with each other. They look fine in ZE though. Is it because I added color to them?
I don't know what I'm missing here, so any help will be appreciated.

Re: Trouble with sky and terrain

Well, I have pol1_skydome and it's texture, as well as pol1_sky_roids and it's texture, and pol1.sky which I renamed to KPF.sky. I don't know what I'm missing.

Re: Trouble with sky and terrain
first try a clean and munge if that doesn't work post your sky file and the names of all the files that deal with sky in your world 1 folder (just their names will do)

Re: Trouble with sky and terrain
open it with a text editing program such as notepad or word pad
fyi most swbf2 .something files can be opened with word pad some of them will give you giberish others you can read.

Re: Trouble with sky and terrain
Ok, I did a manual clean, and it fixed the sky. But how do I fix the terrain?

Please Search first, i'll bet it took less time to find the answer than it did for you to type up your reply and submit it.

I read that, but how do I erase the textures I've already made?

Re: Trouble with sky and terrain
select the texture in the texture selector and right click instead of left click and drag around just like placing texture just right click
