Sky changing (light and dark) Created 20 years ago2004-05-25 08:12:26 UTC by Luke

how do i make the map's light change depending on what type of day ur on? a Sven-Coop map for entmod called entmap_schouseshop does this and i think its kool! i just want to know. it goes from xen (dark) to cliffs (light). Is it something to do with sentences? or something like that?

Help would be great!

this Is'nt as hard as it sounds all you do is open the skys tga files in wally, now click on the lighten/darken tool, and color the skies, to make new ones-but darker ones, now save these.

Now with the new skies created just make a loading point in your map to load another map, this time it will load the other map with the new sky
or if you'd like---The Same Sky, Only darker.

If you don't now how to use the newly created skys, just put them
in the "valve/gfx/env" file, or in "yourmods/gfx/env" file

If you put the skys in your mods folder:

You will create a map with Hammer but when compiled it will not go in, it will just crash.. But don't worry this is because the sky is not in the valves folder--just your mods.

Instead try compiling your map With the "Dont Run Map"Box Checked.

Now load up half-life with this at the end of the target field

" -game yourmodfolder +map yourmapname"

In my case it would be

"-game BJ +map map1"

Now your sky will load fine because It is looking in your mods directory
(-game yourmodfolder) and there you have it.
