It reminds me of goldsource flash. :)

I guess I should have, but I figured that this wasn't actually "mapping," so I decided to post here instead. Anyways, it doesn't work when you have HDR enabled.

One more screenshot.



The problems with this:

1) Not HDR-capable. Boo. :(
2) Only editing the texture, no lighting involved. This means shadows are still like the sun's right above them. And the 3d skybox has a "blue tone" to them. One more :(.

I tried other skys but this bland one looks best. :\

I don't like asking this, but is this release-worthy?

I certainly think so Silentsteps. It changes of the atmosphere of the map dramatically, for the better imo. I don't use hdr, so would this work for me on any server without any problems?

I've been using it for about 3 days now, and I have not gotten kicked on any of them. Doesn't conflict with consistancy.

I hate seeing bright blue skys in everymap, cause you know WWII was always dark.

Thats one of my pet peevs regarding source too, lovely blue sky's on most maps. I remember EZ doing the same thing for Ava on 1.3, and that totally changed the way that map felt too.

If it won't affect consitency, then you should experiment with differing sky's for other default maps too, because i much prefer your take on how flash should look over the official version:) Starting with a dark moody theme for Donner please;)

Is that a "won't work with full HDR but will with Bloom" or a "won't work with HDR full stop."

It looks great, gives a good late afternoon feel to the screenshots.

Looks sweet, since you might do some more skies, I thought I'd throw some ideas out there. How about a red/and or deep purple sunset, darker stormy sky. This last one is more of a question for the mapping experts, but is it possible to add exploding flak to argentan's sky?
