sky maps

[insideJOB]

i have read the readme and still can't figure out how to change the sky map much less customize it. i am using a mac if that makes any difference.

this is noob but all i can figure to do is type

/loadsky moon

can someone explain this better please? i am a real noob and confused so the simpler the better.

thanks for the help.

you must modify a file with .cfg extension


look at your maps folder: there are files.cgz and files with same name .cfg

you must create a cfg (by copying the defaultmap.cfg for example) and modify it

is there a reason why i shouldn't just change all the sky maps and leave them?

I guess you've read this

http://assault.cubers.net/docs/mapediting5.html#skymap

and seen this

// The skymap for this map. You can change this by commenting the one below, and then uncommenting one of your choosing
// Alternatively, you can add your own into "packages/textures/skymaps" and use it as below.

loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini4" // Comment this if you want to use a different skymap.

// loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini2"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini3"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/makke/rocky"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/makke/mountain"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/iceflow/iceflow"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/ladynighthawk/inhcanyons1"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/socksky/nightball"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/socksky/grave"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/kothic/atsea"

already. Well, do you have a config file for the map, whichs' skymap you'd like to change? If not, you'll need to make one. Copy ../AssaultCube/configs/default-map-settings.cfg into your /maps folder and rename it to whatever your map is called, e.g. ac_yourmap.cfg.

Open this file, uncomment (removing "//" from the line) the skymap you like and either comment (putting "//" on the line) the other skymaps or simply remove them completely from the config.

For example:

//loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini4" // The default skymap is now "disabled"

loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini2" // This skymap is "enabled"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/steini/steini3"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/makke/rocky"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/makke/mountain"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/iceflow/iceflow"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/ladynighthawk/inhcanyons1"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/socksky/nightball"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/socksky/grave"
// loadsky "textures/skymaps/kothic/atsea"
