Mountains / skybox remove

[Snake Man]

I removed the mountains from the horizon, some call this "skybox". Here is the config how it was done:

Code: Select all

class CfgPatches
{
	class VTE_skybox_remove
	{
		units[] = {};
		weapons[] = {};
		requiredVersion = 1;
		requiredAddons[] = {};
	};
};

class CfgWorlds
{
	class DefaultWorld
	{
		class Weather
		{
			class Overcast
			{
				class Weather1;
				class Weather2;
				class Weather3;
				class Weather4;
				class Weather5;
			};
		};
	};

	class CAWorld: DefaultWorld
	{
		class Weather: Weather
		{
			class Overcast: Overcast
			{
				class Weather1: Weather1
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_clear_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_clear_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_clear_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather7: Weather1
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_veryclear_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_clear_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_veryclear_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather2: Weather2
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_almostclear_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_almostclear_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_almostclear_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather3: Weather3
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_semicloudy_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_semicloudy_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_semicloudy_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather4: Weather4
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_cloudy_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_cloudy_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_cloudy_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather5: Weather5
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_mostlycloudy_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_mostlycloudy_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_mostlycloudy_horizont_sky.paa";
				};

				class Weather6: Weather5
				{
					// sky = "ca\data\data\sky_overcast_sky.paa";
					// skyR = "ca\data\data\sky_overcast_lco.paa";
					horizon = "pmc\vte_skybox_remove\data\vte_sky_overcast_horizont_sky.paa";
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

The paa textures were edited, there is alpha channel transparent stuff included also so be careful when creating them.

Greetings goes to DMarkwick for getting me started, thanks man.

hehe

Yeah, but I think his solution resulted in a 30mb download!

[Snake Man]

It is the same size, the .paa files in my dev dir are 37.3mb in size. Big sky, big images.

Ah... :doh:

Any way to use some generic blank textures, and make it mostly a cfg change?

[Snake Man]

Dunno, try it out... those textures replace the sky... so they need to be there, unless you want no sky at all. Hmm maybe lower resolution? dunno
