Skymaps

HanzGrub3r

<div class="IPBDescription">what is the deal?</div> Hey Guys... I feel kinda stupid for asking ...but what is the deal with skymaps now?

regardless of what skymap I specify in the map properties I get the wonderful desert...I've got no problems with any textures or anything like that...but I just get the desert - doesn't matter if I put nebular or gammu or whatever...

do you have to put a path now or something?

(is it just me or is steam more trouble than it's worth)

I've got this sexy readyroom ready to go but it aint gonna look too nice sitting in the arizona desert <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

If a sky has a '_' in the name, you have to add that to the skyname parameter as well. i.e. instead of "eclipse" it is "eclipse_"

The only signifying characters are the last two, which mark the location of each image. The underscore is merely for ease of reading.

Why does everyone think mapping for STEAM is so different? It wasn't for me, didn't use any tuts or anything... personally I love STEAM, great app, if not a tad taxing on the CPU at times. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This sky behavior in particular has NOTHING to do with Steam - it's been like that since 1998 <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' /><!--endemo-->
