Battle map lighting skies and weather

[Makanyane]

Does anyone know if there is anything written up on this? I've been trying to change descr_daytypes for a while now - and whilst it is definitely moddable it is a complete pain, I think due to interaction with other files like skydome / pallete etc.

I'm also not sure how the weather sound file relationship works or how any of it relates into the options you get in custom battle..

any advice ?

You see, Mak, no one can answer our questions anymore ;)

(nope, I've not seen any tutorials on it).

If in doubt write it yourself....

I can now make it go funny colours very easily - what I've been having trouble with is little things like getting white snow.... think I've finally sussed out what was up with that, I hadn't realised that when it gives times for the daytype you don't get colour for time x until you get to time y what you actually get is a transition between colour at x and colour of y, according to exact time in between the two. And if colour at y is the very green colour that can get used at night then you get some rather odd green snow in the daytime if you don't have transition times working correctly... :wall:


weather sounds are equally fun but can understand bits of that - you do however get the most creative error message I've seen from CA yet:
