Custom Skies in a Single Map File Created 17 years ago2007-07-28 22:40:46 UTC by StoneFrog

Is it possible to make a custom sky texture and package the textures into the map so that they can be downloaded if you download the map from a server in-game?

I've downloaded maps from servers, such as escape_usa which use custom skyboxes, which are downloaded along with the map rather than me having to download the skies elsewhere and put them into a game directory - as other threads I found using search said you had to do.

Downloading from servers still requires the skybox to be put in your directory. You'll probably find that the custom skybox from escape_usa will be in your gfx/env folder somewhere.

As far as I am aware there is no other way. You have to DL the skyboxes.

Stonefrog, I don't see your problem. When you join the server, it automatically downloads all the resources you need for the map to run. As far as I know you don't have to do anything special to get this to work with your own maps.

I've never had to track down custom skyboxes off the internet for any map.
