that skybox you made for terragen is very helpful, but I want to use jpegs instead of bitmaps for the walls. Can you send me the skybox model but with the texture file names as .jpg instead of .jpg for better quality?

hehe I just got this message.

dude theres a copy of it on the site.

I think u should experiment with different texture formats.

one I can suggest is getting the nvidia dds exporter for photoshop.

no, indi, you dont understand, with the downloaded skybox the textures HAVE to be called sky###.BMP. IT CANNOT BE A JPG, the file is not recognized and half the skybox is just white. And I want to make large pics to increase the quality, so using bitmaps will bloat the program size...

I'm hoping you could re-export it to accept jpeg textures, because right now it only accepts bitmaps

surely you can just change the code from
load image "whatever.bmp",whatever

to say load image "whatever.jpg",whatever

it wouldn't be greatly hard if it was setup so that
fn_"name"."type" = front
lf_"name"."type" = left
etc...

and then the program detects this and loads each of the images automatically

it only runs correctly in DBC.

the new method thats being presented on rajaks site seems to use limbs and plains instead of making a cube externally.

You could just hex edit the x file and change bmp to jpg.
