I know those 2 has nothing to do with eachothers.

the duke3d.def is in my folder, same folder as duke.exe, maps, con (not inside con) and etc.

everything as Mikko and Commander say, and no working.
As I said above i'll finish the mod.

using an ordinary sky and when it release then I will put a txt file telling which tile num you put in .def file to make the sky boxes.
Mod will have 2 diff sky.

1 (on Earth)
2 (Earth's orbit) or (Big orbit)

[The Commander]

No, you havent done everything we said or it would be working.
You are still doing something wrong and because you won't bother to post any screenshots of what your directory looks like or a logfile then I am not even going to bother to try help anymore.

[Zaxtor]

I'll post a screenie.


Cyan arrow is my skybox folder (models/skybox/ (all the 6 jpegs)
I made all jpeg 512 x 512 in size (same as Mikko's skies)

red arrow is the duke3d.def.

Its content is:
include DEFS.CON

// Frozen skybox
defineskybox 94 0 0 models/skybox/frozen_rt.jpg models/skybox/frozen_ft.jpg models/skybox/frozen_lf.jpg models/skybox/frozen_bk.jpg models/skybox/frozen_up.jpg models/skybox/frozen_dn.jpg

duke3d.def should not include DEFS.CON

You also have the wrong tile number defined. You need to change the 94 to the correct sky tile.

[Zaxtor]

Is weird when Mikko's duke3d.def has def.con inside it and code is 100% same as mikko and it works for him but not for me

[Danukem]

I think the HRP defs included DEFS.CON at one time, and Mikko may have been using that as a base for his def. It shouldn't hurt anything, but it's useless. The real problem is the wrong tile number that Mblackwell pointed out, or something else you are doing wrong.

[Zaxtor]

When Mikko sent me his map it doesn't contain any def.con file.

Which is perfectly consistent with what I said *exits thread*

[Mblackwell]

You are using the wrong tile number. You won't see the skybox in your map until you change the tile number in the def to be the tile you are using for the parallaxed sky.

[Zaxtor]

In the map (Mikko's map for example you see an ordinary sky) tile num of sky is 94. With Pal 2.

But ingame is a cool wintery sky box.

[Gambini]

Are you trying to run a skybox in 8bits (software renderer)?

If you want your skybox to replace the sky texture 94 so, define it as the 94 texture and not 34xx, or define it as 34xx in any case.

The pal should not make any change unless you make a pal version of it.

Skyboxes work only in polymost/polymer. Also, be sure your png files have power of 2 measures 512x512, 1024x1024.

[Zaxtor]

In Mikko's map it remove the sky in 8bitz

Maybe is my problem Ill test

[The Commander]

[Zaxtor]

wont work still :Z

[Lunick]

Picture is hilarious XD

[Zaxtor]

Update is:

Codes are correct.
Everything are correct.
I did everything well.

Error was something has to do with the Jpegs.

When I removed mines and put Mikko's pictures it worked.
When I put mine it stop working.

Maybe it can be the size, maybe if it doesn't follow it wont work.

[Gambini]

as i said, resize your images in power of 2 measures:

Example #1: 256 x 256

Example #2: 512 x 512

Example #3: 1024x1024

Also, be sure all them have the same size.

[Roma Loom]

make sure JPGs are not progressive, there were problems with that back in jfDuke era... Just convert them to PNG.

[Mikko]

What skybox are you trying to use? Can you provide a link?

By now we're just as curious as you're to fix this problem.

[Zaxtor]

Was making a test jpeg and see if it would work,

Some random skybox.

Also what program do you use to make skyboxes?

I used one from
http://www.tutorialsforblender3d.com/Textu...ds-Few-Dawn.png (as the test)
When didn't work I turned it into jpeg and still did not work.
At the end made em all 512x512. still no working.

since it had 5 I made a random 6th one (floor)

[Gambini]

Of course, a cube is composed by six faces.

Why dont you just post the files you´re using and let somebody else to do the job. It seems is going to take you a year to make it work this way man.

[Zaxtor]

When I checked Mikko's sky the sky I used is not compatible for duke.
The edges wont follow.

Top was 512x512 rest were 512 x 256 or otherwise it would be stretchy the sides..

I searched some sites about skybox for duke they showed a nebula and 6 pieces took from them.
etc etc.


All I need is a good skybox for the arctic, Like Mikko's sky accept less mountains.
first and 2nd level is in the ANWR (Arctic National Wildlife Refuge)
Forested place with snow, ice, some trees.

[Mikko]

I've got tons of great arctic skyboxes on my hd. I'd point you to Wadfather where I got them but it went down along with all other Planet Network sites.

I'll try to catch you on msn.

[Zaxtor]

Finally it works thx Mikko
