Skies? "black"?

meethezero · November 2002

<div class="IPBDescription">What about std Half-Life textures</div> I am a beginner to NS mapping, but have some general mapping experience. I have read that NS maps should rely mainly on "ns.wad". What about the sky texture? It does not seem to be included in "ns.wad". What about textures like "black" and the other "color" textures? Should I assume that I can ALSO use "halflife.wad" for my mapping? Should the NS team add the "sky" texture to "ns.wad"? How do you guys do it?

Yes, feel free to use textures from the hl.wad

Does Counter-Strike retail have a hl.wad? (I don't own it so I don't know..)

It means 'try and keep most of your used textures (like, the important ones) in ns.wad' no 'every texture must come from ns.wad'

No one's going to mind if you use an HL trim or something.

and yes, CS Retail does come with hl.wad, as a lot of CS maps are almost entirely hl.wad textures.

In some of the official maps I have noticed that some of the sky's are made using the program Terragen, a 3D landscape program. As long as it fits in with the NS environment it should be ok to make your own sky.

skys are not in wads. they are in .tga format and can be found at ns/gfx/env directory

Skies? "black"?
