Different Skies
« on: June 14, 2012, 09:13:49 am »
So I'm making a custom map and I want to have one side of my map with a normal sky, and the other side with a different sky... I was thinking of making a big shape on top of one side of my map and texture it to look like a sky. The problem is, I don't have any texture that could do that.
So, can someone make me a sky texture? It should be a dark and fiery sky...
Thanks in advance!  ;)

If you are asking someone to make it for you, You should probably make a request in the addons and mods section I believe. Also I dont believe you can make half the sky one colour and the other another, Never heard of that being done before.

You cant have the left/right side of the sky one colour and the other side another. You can only halve it horizontally.

Wouldn't it be possible if I would make a big object that looks like a sky? This is my own idea, so I'm not completely sure it would work. And as for posting it in the mods and addons section, I am also asking if it is possible. I want to know if there is some bug or something with my idea.

I actually did it and it works  :D The only problem with this method of sky making is that you can't put the sky object too far from the ground or else you can't see it...  :-\ So it looks a bit like a cloud of volcanic ash... but that's the effect I'm looking for. So it IS possible to make two, three, four, or as many skies as you want.  ;)

For the part of it vanishing on you, if you check the "Is large" tab, it won't just vanish on you when you get far away.
