r_fastsky texture

Post by Superboyy »

Hi

i'm wondering how i could change the texture, used for basic sky, from gray to plain black? is there a command, or is a texture for it in the pak0?

i know i used to have it black, but then i was tinkering around with the ET instalation and now its gray :P

tnx

/seta r_fastsky "1" is the only way I know, possibly the grey texture is from a different mod

Is it always the same color?
My guess:
It's the average color of the sky texture (although I don't play with fastsky).

It would probably involve replacing the sky texture, but everyone would hate you for dropping that kind of PK3 on their system \o/
Got any old idtech3 tutorials you made or saved? Send them my way.

I think its related to the ambient light color of the map.

And I think that is set in the .bsp

So you'd either need mod support, or to remake the map with whatever color you want. And no, I dont think you'll get mappers to start using black because they'll want it to be something else so all the rest of the map looks good.

It can also be done with an OpenGL wrapper, but then you won't be able to play on cheat protected servers. :P
