Sky Replacement

Recommended Posts

Me and The D made a little sky replacement addon. It replaces most of the cloudy sky textures, and slightly changes the clear blue sky texture.

Updated to v3.1 (definitely the last)

Credits: The D - made all of the textures.

It would be great if we could had Llauma or Husky Sky Pack to ARMA tounge2.gif

Anyway, nice work mate.

There's no fps hit at all!

Texture transitions are still a bit awkward (my Freudian perception recognizes several vaginae floating in the sky) but I am sure Ryan can get that under control - nice job! notworthy.gif

PS: Would anybody know how to edit the second "moving" layer of clouds?

To be honest this may seem something to knock up when bored, but you will be amazed who will grab this. The sky is always missed from modders, as in .. not many play with it, but the sky is a large part of the whole scene it makes a big impact.

Oh my! I have been putting off releasing my Science-Fiction Alieny Island (which I thought was pretty BAD ASS btw) just because of this issue, I didnt want the ugly sky (ugly for an alien world anyway...) interfering, I will look into this smile_o.gif

(May have to fire up the ol vistor and start working again tounge2.gif )

I wonder if there would be anyway to JUST change the sky for one map....

Yeah, well... it's hard to do the textures with clouds especially without mirroring the image. The rainy ones looked even worse. tounge2.gif

Did you make your own addon folder and add it to your shortcut or put it direct in to Arma's addon folder?

I made an addon folder for it and it works fine, make sure the addon folder is higher priority, then it will show up.

Do you have any other mods that effect the weather / sky, or are you using a total conversion mod like XAM? If so that kind of thing will probably work priority over it anyway.

Try arma with no other mods apart from sky ... see if that works, if that doesn't then, i'm as lost as you.

PS - I hate to add this one, but, its not the case its working but you haven't really noticed a difference? whistle.gifsmile_o.gif

You'd have to be blind not to see a difference lol. tounge2.gif

The D is helping me make the sky look even better. Looks awesom, and the images aren't mirrored. smile_o.gif

It's the GPS display (right CTRL + M, mostly available as squad leader only) tweaked with rg7621's "TrueMods - 2nd Release".
