About the skybox ??

[R@Rdeathmatch]

It is possbiel to make in hammer the skybox to change the texture every 20 minute .
Example-If now its day on the map over 20 min it will be night .

PS:SRY IF IT THE WRONG SECTION AND FOR MY BAD ENGLISH AND IF I DON'T EXPLAIN VERY GOOD.

[Hawx]

It would probably be done in LUA.

[ashton93]

A very slow animated texture maybe.

[Hawx]

How would the lighting change though?

[MaxOfS2D]

You can probably do it by not using the classic 2D skybox system but by having a huge "dome" model in the 3D skybox that has several skins — then fade between them.

That's how I would see it done personally

Once again, lighting...

I remember a while back some guy in the LUA section managed to do it...was really nice actually.

If this is about lua , can you give me community who know how to make this in PM or here.

[LosttoLauren]

With lighting, you can give your light_environment a name. You can then change it to a different brightness from 'a' (off basically) to 'z' (full brightness). This is how I've done it in one of my maps.

and then the shadows will not match the light :colbert:

Depends on if you want to use 24 different skyboxes and 24 different light_environments.

Or 86400 different light_environments if you want it to change per second :smug:

hey like in perp_sierracity , how he make there !

i think basic morning, noon, evening, night and repeat

I feel the urge to do this....

[Tennisball]

I think I heard something about using colour correction to do this. No idea how it would be done though.

Vrad only compiles 1 light_environment.

[melindagreen]

[QUOTE=Firegod522;27283323]Vrad only compiles 1 light_environment.[/QUOTE]

thank god.

Yeah I was thinking about colour correction, instead of light_environments.

That would also effect inside, you would need stencils and LUA to do this properly.

(because suddenly its late all lights dim in unison?)

meh can be done with the O/I system and light_environments that don't cover the map.

Hackishly.

No, it can be done quite well quite easily.

I have done it before with the input/output system and changing the brightness of lights from "A" to "Z", and I noticed that it only worked well with maps that had very few "outdoor" brush faces.

With a big, complex RP map with a day/night sequence, I noticed that it causes a BIG framerate lag when you have every single outdoor lightmap in the map change in brightness simultaneously. For example, from a to b, then b to c, then c to d, and so on. Each transition causes about 0.5 second lag on average RP maps. However, it looks quite nice...
