Custom skytexture question. Created 17 years ago2007-03-31 17:33:07 UTC by Tosse

Is it possible to use another size on the images for the sky? the standard 256pixles looks awefull and I want to use something bigger, like 512, to give it a little more detail. I searched the forum but I didn't really find anything of use. I haven't tested this wich probably would be the best way to go, but for my own comfort I decided to ask TWHL for the truth.

I think I read somewhere that it's possible, I can't recall where I read it or if that's even what I read. And another question while im at it, if it works, will bigger sky images have an effect on the r_speeds and performance of my map?

-Thanks.

You can't use a diffrent size for a sky, and thats final. Just like you can't use a 100x200 texture. There are restrictions in the Hl1 engine, using a bigger sky image will require coding.

And as far as I know, that's part of the graphics engine, which Valve never released the code for.

Yeah isn't it a shame! I wonder why I never heard of anybody that managed to crack open that Hl.dll or other Hl mod dlls, it is possible.

I agree, it's rather strange.
