Moving sky DOME models

Post by **RepSharpshooter** » Sat Jul 28, 2007 10:55 am

Does anyone know how to move this galaxy so it's not on top of the moon? They have the same .msh, yav2_planet, I only hex-edited it so I could get different textures.
I tried using offset, but it only offsets up and down. Angle didn't work either. I've searched through the forums and haven't found an answer either. I've also tried using other sky msh's, but they either repeat all over the sky or are the wrong size/aspect ratio.

Actually, that looks really cool!
What kind of map is it? Space? And, these models that you are using, did you place them inside ZE, or in the Sky.file?

This is a ground map, Thule Moon. Temporarily, I have found a way to make them separate, but I'd still like to know if dome models in the .sky file can be moved left/right. I'm thinking it's probably has something to do with the .msh file instead of the .sky file. But I don't have the real XSI to make .msh.
Here's some screens:

I didn't think it was good enough for a WIP on gametoast, so I've been keeping it quiet, over here: http://jdslucasartsforum.forumotion.com ... ne-t35.htm.

Are you kidding?!!!!!!! That map looks awesome! I would be the first to offer to beta test it, and the first to download it. I love the look of the sky especially!

But I would advise just putting some stuff in the area in that first pic there, because it looks kinda empty.

Lol, there's nothing "not good enough" for a WIP on GT. Believe me, there have been some real stinkers before. Besides, yours looks nice. Might as well get it some attention here.

And I think you're probably right about it being a .msh issue, 'cause when I open the meshes up in 3D object viewer, those particular meshes are like a skydome, except they only have something visible in that one place.

Ok I'll put a WIP up. In that first picture, there's a assault ship behind you, and a federation lander up on the hill. It seems kind of empty, still. Perhaps a forward command?

Well, yeah, and maybe change the terrain a bit so it isn't so flat there. Or put a few retextured boulders there to provide at leasta little cover when running across the field.
