"r_skyscroll1" "0.040000"
"r_skyscroll2" "0.200000"

Hi Sean,

nice sky.

Just in case you didnt know:
There is already a thread with this topic and many different skies to chose from:

The one from BEEF34T3R also uses the texture from Moon[Drunk] (plus jeank´s):


That one got many positive feedback.
Find a link to it in above thread.

Great work sean. A welcome addition to my collection. I like custom skies on some of my maps!

Sean,
I get this issue with your tga file. I'm lost to what it might be. I renamed it to sky4 to use on the map in the pic

[seanstar]

sorry about the problem gdiddy...i tried to convert it to 24bit to compress it but it lost the alpha channel...lol.


i uploaded the 32bit version with an alpha channel.

here it is ------------->sky1.zip

Sean,
Was out of pocket most of the weekend and just now getting around to checking things. Thanks for getting the sky out!

Hello Planetnine,

a tutorial how to make your own moving sky textures is described in the linked thread.
As I mentioned above, that thread has the same topic and has some other variations.

What you need are seamless textures !

Just like the ones for world textures for example (or static skybox).
Textures are placed like a mosaic and MUST therefore be seamless:
Left side matches right side and upper side matches lower side.
There are existing software that can help you with it.

Best wishes,
Seven

Hello Planetnine,

I received your PM.
But I would like to answer it in the thread, so that other people can benefit from it as well.

A way to make a texture seamless:
I just started google and typed in:
"Make seamless texture"

You will get many hits and tutorials how to do it.
This one is maybe suitable for you, because you said, that you have photoshop:

Hope this could help a bit.

Kind regards,
Seven

Just wanted to say - this thing is killer. Tried it ingame, really conveys a sense of depth in the sky. SPooky.
