kya4life Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Do skies count as a light sorce? Today while i was messing around with sky textures this window popped up in .txt format this is what it said: // skyparms work like this: // q3map_sun <red> <green> <blue> <intensity> <degrees> <elevation> // color will be normalized, so it doesn't matter what range you use // intensity falls off with angle but not distance 100 is a fairly bright sun // degree of 0 = from the east, 90 = north, etc. altitude of 0 = sunrise/set, 90 = noon textures/skies/normallight { qer_editorimage textures/skies/sky.tga q3map_surfacelight 75 q3map_lightsubdivide 512 sun 0.75 0.79 1 250 0 65 surfaceparm sky surfaceparm noimpact surfaceparm nomarks q3map_nolightmap skyParms textures/skies/nebula2 512 -

} What are skyparms? and how do i access them? does this mean skies can act as a light source depending what texture they are?? if anyone could clear this up with me please do because whenever i put a sky in my bounding box my room is completely dark until i add lights... would be great if i didnt have to.
Schizophrenic Posted April 27, 2002 Posted April 27, 2002 Any texture can act as a light source as long as you use a shader that has "q3map_surfacelight" in it. Unfortunately most of the "normal" sky shaders in JK2 don't have this function, but you could change it yourself.
kya4life Posted April 27, 2002 Author Posted April 27, 2002 most of the skys are just textures... and theres only like 5 real [shaders] and like 2 [shader_lights]. Why isnt there a shader for every texture you see? If theres a way to do it manually could someone post it? thanx...
