“A skybox is loaded using either the “loadsky” console command”Jul 26 02:16:50
<OneManClan2> (https://quakewiki.org/wiki/Skybox_Support)Jul 26 02:17:12
<OneManClan2> …’loadsky’ (at the FTE console didnt do anything)Jul 26 02:18:39
<OneManClan2> ah ezquakwe recognises itJul 26 02:27:02 <OneManClan2> ok i got a skybox, 6 pics, 1024×1024, called grimmnight_Jul 26 02:27:45
<OneManClan2> “loadsky C:\Quake\fortress\textures\city_sky\grimmnight” no goJul 26 02:27:59 <Spoike1> r_skybox cvar. meaning you don’t have to reuse it every single map.Jul 26 02:28:41 <Spoike1> usually set on a per-map basis via the ‘_sky’ worldspawn keyJul 26 02:29:41
<OneManClan2> ahhJul 26 02:30:55
<OneManClan2> ok i tried “r_skybox fortress\textures\city_sky\grimnight” and…. some interesting things happenedJul 26 02:31:10 <Spoike1> it bitched about paths?Jul 26 02:31:29
<OneManClan2> well i tried the absolute path first and it bitched and moanedJul 26 02:31:37
<OneManClan2> but then i did the above ^ and it loadedJul 26 02:31:55 <OneManClan2> it replaced the sky texture with the checkerboardJul 26 02:32:26 <Spoike1> it compiles! ship it!Jul 26 02:32:43
<OneManClan2> and i learned that to make this work (ie w an ocean), means i need to have NO WALLSJul 26 02:33:16
<OneManClan2> gonne recompile w sky textures all aroundJul 26 02:36:09
<OneManClan2> bad news: it dodnt load the sky textureJul 26 02:36:17
<OneManClan2> good news: the world now seems MASSIVEJul 26 02:36:29
<OneManClan2> it just the checkerboard looks REALLY FAR AWAYJul 26 02:36:34
<OneManClan2> it = ieJul 26 02:37:48 <OneManClan2> can i just change it from the console?Jul 26 02:38:39 <OneManClan2> also can it be loaded from its current location?Jul 26 02:39:30 <OneManClan2> i didnt put it there, my quake must have put it there automatically (ie i didnt make the skybox)Jul 26 02:46:36 <OneManClan2> ]r_skybox textures\city_sky\grimnightJul 26 02:47:07 <OneManClan2> is the path/syntax ‘ok’?Jul 26 02:49:28 <OneManClan2> .. maybe the skybox isnt quake compatible .. maybe i dled it years ago and manually ‘just put it there’?Jul 26 02:49:40 * OneManClan2 googles quake skyboxJul 26 02:53:43 <OneManClan2> this guys (Q2) says the skyboxes have to be in a certain directory( http://tastyspleen.net/~panjoo/rust/tutorials/3/3.html)Jul 26 02:54:14 <OneManClan2> he also says “each image must be 256×256 pixels and there must be 2 seperate sets of images”..Jul 26 02:54:20 <OneManClan2> … “must”Jul 26 02:54:37 <OneManClan2> does anyone have a (working) Quake skybox i can test?Jul 26 03:00:08 <username12565> they should go to gfx/env/Jul 26 03:00:46 <username12565> ScunthorpeJul 26 03:00:49 <username12565> err lolJul 26 03:00:53 <username12565> https://www.quaddicted.com/reviews/ad_v1_50final.htmlJul 26 03:02:45 <OneManClan2> “r_skybox C:\Quake\fortress\gfx\env\grimmnight”Jul 26 03:02:51 <OneManClan2> no goJul 26 03:03:18 <username12565> r_skybox grimnightJul 26 03:03:48 <OneManClan2> no goJul 26 03:04:06 <OneManClan2> when i type: r_skybox “”Jul 26 03:04:19 <OneManClan2> it reverts, so i assujme i dotn need to hit vid_refresh every timeJul 26 03:04:41 <OneManClan2> maybe these skyboxes arent quake compatobleJul 26 03:05:00 <OneManClan2> gonna quiclly make some BS ones w the right domensionsJul 26 03:05:09 <username12565> you need to put the grimnight files into quake/yourmod/gfx/env/Jul 26 03:05:21 <username12565> and dont vid_refresh!Jul 26 03:07:45 <username12565> err, why “r_skybox”? isnt it just “sky” or “loadsky”?
