Skybox Clouds problem

[xandaxs]

Hey guys!

I am wondering if it is possible to have the clouds just on the top of the skybox, is it?
I just don't want it to come from the bottom as it is on this screenshot:

Looks really bad like that

Here's the shader I am using:

Code: Select all

textures/axanjumps/skybox
{
    qer_editorimage textures/xanjumps/skybox/ruins_ft.jpg
    surfaceparm noimpact
    surfaceparm nolightmap
    q3map_globaltexture
    q3map_lightsubdivide 256
    q3map_skylight 200 2
    surfaceparm sky
    q3map_sunExt 1 1 1 100 350 40 3 16
    skyparms textures/xanjumps/skybox/ruins - -
   {
      map textures/xanjumps/skybox/clouds.tga
      tcMod scale 4 4
      tcMod scroll 0.015 0.015
      blendFunc GL_ONE GL_ONE
   }
}

Thanks!

IIRC there's trick to hide clouds on bottom somehow, its used on mandolin as example. Check out these example maps: http://robotrenegade.com/q3map2/downloads/samples/maps/

Talked to MajkiFajki about it.

He said they animated their skyboxes.
NuLL in Mandolin, Clatoo in Paris, skaz in Beijing, etc...

I'll make some experiments and post here the results...
