Texture mod

[Hyrumb]

many of you people requested a texture mod I was wondering what i should make the sky's look like?
first ill test it and do the noon sky.
What do you want the noon Clear weather sky look like?

You can take example from the sky textures of the Shader Mod 2.
I prefer to have a completely smoothed blue sky for the noon clear time in SF; for the morning time skies, make a bit of pink effect, not like in the Shader Mod 2; for the raining time ones, a more grey sky for the noon time.

About night sky
don't forget to put stars with good quality , Because you can find some pics of stars that won't look good ingame
Don't put Moon because you will see (4) moons

...Unless you put it high in the sky.

I always wanted to see a map with a big moon in the background. Now that gives me an idea for a track.

The main problem of the MM2 default sky is that the texture is repeated, and almost any used texture won't look so good just because it'll be repeated. My testing was to replace the .pkg file of the sky, so you can assign the texture how you want to the half sphere, getting better results. Another problem is that isn't possible to import the .pkg files of the game skies.
A moon or a sun, as possible, can be put as PKG object through the INST file.

Maybe you could try to make the sun shine effect, like in other games, like Racer. When I contacted Tuning about their Shader Mod 3 Future, he said it's possible to make it and that it'll be in the SM3 Future, when they'll release it.

I see this a very hard thing to do, like something related with the DirectX. It's a very interesting thing, but let's wait the Shader Mod 3 to see something...
This is going to be just a sky textures mod.

Yeah it would be awesome if you could replace the sky dome of mm2 and make it more realistic and allow for nice, high res textures without being repeated.

[Hyrumb]

yeah its a pain to make every tiny thing work every coner go right becase how it take's a flat square texture and makes it a dome when i was testing it one time i copyed and pasted a real sky and it was sqare to and opened mm2 and there was a sqare sky!:lol:
