Sky light

[Steinin]

I'm using the bespin sky shader in a map I'm creating. It's generates too little light however. Are there any good ways to insert more lightning without having to use point-based entities?

Look for any of the following lines in the shader code:

 

q3map_surfacelight <amount>

q3map_skylight <amount> <iterations>

q3map_sun <R> <G> <B> <amount> <heading> <elevation>

 

Change the <amount> values to higher numbers to emit more light. Remember to save your new shader in a different shader file and with a new shader name so you don't overwrite people's bespin shaders.

1: How do I open up the shade code?

2: Where and how should I store it without it interferring with Raven's shaders?

3: How do I get my sky to use this shader?

I'd rather use an entity sun for my "sunlight."

jut copy the shader entry and paste it into a new shader file called mapname.shader and make sure you list mapname in shaderlist.txt and dont forget to change the name of your shader so its not the same as the raven one

 

eg. textures/skies/mapname

This is a SP map so I was a little opposed to create new shaders and so... But the sun entity seemed to work pretty good. Thanks everone for replying.
