Re: Adding your very own textures.
I think you should try out urself, I think it's almost the same way 2 do it
Re: Adding your very own textures.
I have no idea what the coding would be, or where to place it. I looked at some of the Skybox files and there was no .CGF file, so the code must be placed somewhere else.

Re: Adding your very own textures.
You can add your own skyboxes through menus.cfg in the data folder.
Line 99 of that file:
loopix = "daysky"
For eg.
If you were to add your own skybox images to the loopix folder
Make sure you have 6 images named skyboxfilename_**.jpg to correspond to each side of the skybox(_ft, _bk ect file extensions), like all the other skyboxes.
then your cfg would go something like this.
loopix = "daysky skyboxfilename"
Its fairly straightforward, and thats the easiest way I know how to do it.
If theres an easier way someone correct me.
take care

Re: Adding your very own textures.
This worked very well for me, after a bit of double checking on file names and locations...
Thank you very much, so glad I can import my own custom textures now...
Thanks!

Re: Adding your very own textures.
How can you add textures to an existing map? What once you start a map you'll never think of or want to add a new texture or you have to start completely over? That kinda sucks.

Re: Adding your very own textures.
I have tried every tutorial I can find. ( youtube and on here)
I am not seeming to get it tho. Says "cannot read packages.Cfg."
Yes I have tried in Data and all other ways I have seen demonstrated but it is still not working.
Can you elaborate a bit more into it please.
I tried on a new map and on already created aswell.
opened notepad and created the CFG like you posted. Have put them under my folder ( located in the textures section of PAS files) also tried a folder under a random area in PAS files aswell ( obvious error)
Basically I need a full on dummies guide lol.
Thanks in advance
