Does this sky work on Darkplaces?

[IronWarfare]

Please, tell me this sky works on darkplace:

QuakeWorld GFX - Other / Skyboxes / Purple chaos

I love it!!

eyup, darkplaces can use skyboxes.

you'd have to ask someone else about how though, i never used skyboxes with DP


EDIT:
ok nvm, i looked it up and found it. do this:
browse to your ID folder, and make a folder there called 'env'.
drop the contents of the zip in that folder

next, open darkplaces and then type 'loadsky purple_chaos_' into the console and voila

Tried and the console say it works but which sky replaces? I can't see it

[talisa]

it just replaces the sky for the map you're playign as far as i can tell. and only while playing that map.

have to re-enter it when you change maps.

itll only be that sky as long as you play the current map

[golden_boy]

that's the Doom 3 Hell skybox recoloured purple.

There is a way to have it always? For example, setting maps A,B,C etc.. to use this skybox and maps D,F,G etc.. to use another skybox?

[nahuel]

extract the files
create two folder in ID1 directory
gfx/env
in "env" put all the png images
start quake toggle console, and
paste this : loadsky purple_chaos_

yeah, with qc work or custom ent files.
dor the second option, for example in the map start put in console

sv_saveentfile

quit darkplaces and open the file located in id1/maps/start.ent
open the file with notepad or notepad ++ http://notepad-plus-plus.org/

above under

"classname" "worldspawn"

put this

"sky" "purple_chaos_"

where "purple_chaos_" is the name of the skybox that darkplaces will load in the "start" map.
for example you can do the same edition for to put all the skyboxes you want for another maps.

[talisa]

yes as nahuel said, use .ent files and add that line at top of the ent-file

i looked it up myself before i saw nahuels post, did that to several maps myself
