Atmospheric glow around the earth

(1/1)

eleazar:
I have redone the atmospheric layer which is placed over the globe.  This should make appear more realistic.

This is intended to layer over the globe, to provide the realistic hazing near the horizon.  I'm not sure if that's the way it currently works or not.

I haven't been able to test it because i'm not quite sure how to re-zip the pk3 files so that the game accepts them.

Destructavator:
The game is picky for some reason about what program you use to re-zip the pk3 files.  I've found from experience that the one built-in to windows xp works fine, but 7zip and others do not.

Thanks, but i have a mac.

Destructavator:
Congratulations, those are nice computers, I wish I had one myself but unfortunately can't afford one.

Regarding the pk3 files, I don't know off-hand what programs are available for macs that can make zip files, I'm afraid the only advice I can give is to try different compression settings until you can match the exact same format as the original pk3.  I realize that probably isn't much help, but being only barely familiar with how to operate a mac and (unhappily) not owning one I'm not in a good position to offer more advice for you.

I know a guy I see once in a while who does own a mac though, and he actually multi-boots his machines with various types of linux and sometimes even windows, and does all kind of crazy, advanced stuff with his gear.  He's a musician though, I don't know if he's into gaming at all but I'll see if I can get a reply from him at some point, although it may take a while...

thanks. but in another thread it was explained that it's not necessary to recompress the files.


Anyway the file doesn't work as intended.  please ignore it for now.
