Vertical + Horizontal Sky Scrolling

Post by **Tormentor667** » Thu May 11, 2006 11:08

Just to make sure that this doesn't get lost: What about another MAPINFO part that also defines the vertical scroll of a SKYTEXTURE or 360Â° SKY to make maps like "Facing Worlds" that seem to float in the space void or something like this?!

wouldnt you use a skybox that is really high and place the skybox camera object in the middle somewhere so it cant see the floor or ceiling? Then you can scroll the sky? Cheap hack, but might work. Just make a big circulor skybox.

You have no idea what Tormentor wants, apparently.

This would look absolutely BEAUTIFUL with a 360-degree skybox.

So any news? Is it possible? Is it likely to be implemented in the next GZD?

Sorry if this sounds rude but you *must* get yourself some patience. It is my belief Graf has someting more important to do now, otherwise, this would be implemented long time ago. And here, in Gzdoom, everything depends on him (and partially on Zdoom and Randy). This goes double for everyone requesting new features to be added tomorrow. There's a bunch of hacks or tricks to get similair effects with a bit of creativity.

Yeah, sure, I only wanted to know if this is possible and likely to be added to the next GZDoom, thats all

Just a little info

I was trying to do something a couple of days ago and this feature would have been very useful. Has it been forgotten about or is it something that could still happen?

Any news? Sorry for reviving this from the dead but I still think it could be quite useful

Sorry for the wait. I didn't want to add MAPINFO incompatibilities for this but now that a mechanism is in place to add GZDoom specific options without making ZDoom complain it should be ok,

Great, thx alot, this is greatly appreciated for Stronghold

Added. It works a little different though. You have to specify a vector that is used as the axis for the sky rotation.

I'll write some documentation tomorrow.

I appreciate that you have probably been busy but, could you maybe just give the basics if you get a chance? I'd love to try this out.

You can find it in the ZDoom Wiki.

BTW, I will gradually take down the documentation thread since most info is already in the Wiki
