Write a tutorial then, ZB. I think there is a LOT of confusion out there.

Judging by the work you did in ricebug's box, you ought to be the one writing a tutorial Larry. ;)

I can't imagine why. Skyboxes in NewDark are EXACTLY THE SAME as in classic Dark, except that they can be higher-res and use 24-bit color. There, that's my tutorial.

:confused: I had nothing to do with the skybox.

Can you point to a tutorial on skyboxes in any version of Dark? That's my point. People don't know how to set them up. They don't know the consequences of using high-resolution textures or any other options.

Not quite. That is all about porting Half-life skyboxes and renaming them and converting to pcx (which is no longer necessary) and there is no mention of what you do in DromEd to use them. I'm talking about a (from the) ground up explanation of what they are and how to use them. A discussion of the skybox merits vs. Newsky would be nice too. Cardia mentions something that might cover some of that, but no link. There's some stuff (

You seem to know a lot about Dromed, ZB, for someone who's never released a mission. Write some tutorials for the rest of us or do something else positive to help. As the old saying goes, "If it aint fun no more, it's time to go."
It's only a game. Doesn't sound like you're having any fun.

ZB is more a SS2 than a Thief guy, which explains why he knows so much but has never released a Thief mission. He actually made/coordinated ShTUP (Shock texture upgrade project) and has done a lot for the ShockEd community. As for not seeming to have fun, well, I think we all know by now that that's just ZB being himself.

Use Gimp V 2.6.5 and yes, I'm confused.
How do you create a sky 512x512?
