Funky screenshots of ODS

Post by T_Rex »

Snakeman-
Seemed easier to start a new thread like this rather than clutter the bug report thread with screenies. If you'd rather have them all in one place, that's cool. Let me know and I'll do the same thing there.

Anyhoo, here's some cartoonish transition tiling:

Heya T-rex

would you mind for future shots using
T-bones platinum skyfix. :)

Manfred didn't go through all the trouble implementing skyfixes in the UI so thjat you Don't use them...

Good Catch

Too bad the skyfix isn't tied to the theater...

One of these days I will make a new skyfix for the theaters set in the middle east with tangerine sunsets and sunrises and sand tinged horizons... hehe thanks for reminding me.

How do the skyfixes actually work??? Like is it possible to do the EAW style thing and have clouds as part of the sky image??? What files control the sky and sunrise/sunset/sunlight colours???

Skyfix is really just a modification of a bunch of color variables in the tod.lst located in the weather folder of korea/theater directory. However, making a good skyfix is not an easy task because you have to type in numbers that represent colors in the palleta on the sky. There are also variables for haze, sky color, texture lighting, and sunrise/sets. Be sure to make sunrises and sunsets the same color or else it will band the horizon. Skyfix making takes some time if you want to perfect your creation. I went through 4 versions until I found one that I was moderately happy with. I'm going to create one for ODS and Iran theaters soon.
