Author	Topic: better sky color?
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 08:07 PM Now that I have a nice sky going on, how can I change it to a nicer color than the dark swampy green I ended up with? Are there only certain colors I can pick from the palette? IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-03-2002 08:31 PM You could either get a daytime one by using trwest and replacing the city of the dead ones (i'm asuming cause of the green color) or edit the script file where it says Layer 1= ..(r),..(g),..(b),..speed and direction IP: Logged

jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 08:42 PM Thank you very much. I'll give it a try. I've never dealt with the script before, this should prove interesting... IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 08:46 PM So I change it in Script.txt ?? Or Script.bat ? IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-03-2002 09:18 PM In the txt. Then you'll have to out put the script. easy life is the best way to do this, all you have to do is install it, and whenever you want to output the script, click the icon and close.

jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 09:19 PM Where is Script.DAT? And what Can I open a DAT file with? Visual Studio ? IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 09:20 PM Oops..I was hasty, I changed it in script.txt and built the level again, But how do I output the script? IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-03-2002 09:21 PM Easy life out put's the script.txt to dat, and it automatically puts the .dat files where they need to go. IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 09:49 PM So now every time I make a change to my Script.txt file I just run easylife.bat and it will make all the necessary changes? I ran it but the sky still looked green, although it was moving slower. IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-03-2002 10:08 PM Yeah, it's definetly green every time. I tried a number of color and speed value combinations. How can I acheive any other color than green? IP: Logged

jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-04-2002 05:51 PM I changed the original "Layer1= R,G,B,S+D" to "Layer2 = 150,0,25,16" but got a very dark sky. Do I need to keep Layer1 ? IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-04-2002 08:00 PM I believe so, and sorry i took layer 2 out of my script, forgeting i was testing with two layers (does't quite work though). you do know that when i said R G B S+D, it was in order that they were (red, green, blue, speed and direction) [This message has been edited by Tomb_Raider_Nut (edited 01-04-2002).] IP: Logged

Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-05-2002 09:41 AM Script looks ok. did you do anything with the wad? IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-05-2002 09:45 AM No, nothing. The script changes kind of worked at first, except that the sky was a different shade of green. The changes you gave me made the sky go black, (or a very dark green). The only other thing I did was create a new room, with a new door to an existing room. Could there be an error there causing the crash? IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-05-2002 11:56 AM Well, I still have no clue as to how to get the sky to change from green. PLZ!! If anyone can post a city of the dead script with example changes, I'd appreciate it. IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-05-2002 02:18 PM does it crash when (which of the following);you click on the tr4 icon to enter, right away when you select your level, or when your level is almost done loading. IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-05-2002 03:03 PM I'm led to beleive It was crashing baceause there were too many animated textures in the same room. I'm back to square one: with the sky color not changing color from different shades of green. I tried that combination of numbers 150,0,25,16 but that didnt work. IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-05-2002 05:39 PM So you can play your level now? the sky should be working. are you sure you outputed your script? IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-05-2002 06:35 PM I thought I just had to save my script changes then run easylife before runnning the level...how do I output the script, by rebuilding the level in the Level Converter? Check it out... IP: Logged
TRoosevelt_26 Member Posts: 283 From:Akhetaton, Egypt Registered: Dec 2001	posted 01-05-2002 07:32 PM Take the sky graphics from the "Tut1" WAD set. You should get a nice shade of blue (I did). IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-05-2002 07:41 PM Now, do I need to use TrWest to add that sky graphic to the city wad? IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-06-2002 11:42 AM I believe that if you add the sky graphics to your city wad you'll still get the green color cause it's in the script. (what i ment about the output thing is just opening/closing easylife, nothing else. outputting script is my way of getting the script from txt to dat.) IP: Logged
jer_atch Member Posts: 91 From:canada Registered: Apr 2001	posted 01-06-2002 11:50 AM So I'm stuck with the green sky? I can't beleive it. There must be something I can do about that. IP: Logged
Tomb_Raider_Nut Member Posts: 701 From:Millwaukee,Wi,USA Registered: Jun 2001	posted 01-06-2002 11:57 AM It's all in the script, but your doing someting wrong why you can't get other colors. IP: Logged
