tFighterPilot Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 You know, the one with the buildings and moving cars.
Leslie Judge Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 In short: No. Unfortunately a skybox can be static only as far as I know. If somebody knows a way to make it dynamic (and I don't mean the moving clouds) then I'm interested.
Eldritch Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 Wedge's Thunder map has flashes of lightning in it. But you could create a skybox with buildings in it, then use different shaders to create the moving traffic (there's one included with the stock JK2 stuff).
tFighterPilot Posted July 13, 2003 Author Posted July 13, 2003 The whole point is that it will be a sky. It just looked weird at the Jedi Order map, it looked like an animated wallpaper.
Emon Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 A sky can have a farbox and a nearbox, so you could have the farbox be the distant buildings, and the nearbox could be a shader with tcMod scroll.

Emon Posted July 13, 2003 Posted July 13, 2003 If the nearbox part of the sky shader works in JO, then you can do it. I can't say for sure, though, I have never tested it.

Emon Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Sure I could do it, but you wouldn't learn anything then, would you? Consult the portion of the Q3 shader manual that talks about skies. It comes with GtkRadiant, under the Help menu. Or find it on Google.
Eldritch Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 Originally posted by imyourfather That's what I said. Actually, you called it animated wallpaper, so roll your uninformed, short-term-memory-problem-having eyes elsewhere.
tFighterPilot Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 In the Jedi Order map, they didn't use the shader as a skybox, but just textured the windows with it. That made it look like a wallpaper.
Leslie Judge Posted July 14, 2003 Posted July 14, 2003 What I meant was that you can't do a skybox out of that animated shader in the kejim texture set. Wedge, how are those flashes? Did you cheat? About nearbox: I was thinking on it a few month ago when I first saw it in the Q3A Shader Manual, but never tried. Funny that nobody ever tested it. I'll give it a try at home.
tFighterPilot Posted July 14, 2003 Author Posted July 14, 2003 I knew I can't do that. The problem, is that this nearbox, farbox seems to have only two layers. The curascant shader has 4. It won't look as good with only one layer of buildings and one layer of cars.
