Title: answers about the sky instead of from it
Post by: Raoul_Duke on May 27, 2006, 06:10:25 AM

JITS

I was wondering, because i know someone has suggested it to me and i used it sometimes, is it legal to change the skies on  a level? I only know of one level it really helps on is airtime. i was wondering if it was legal, could we make our own skies, i think it might rock if we could use personlaized pics and tags and excrement on on the sky? Sounds cool but i dont wanna be accused of being a hacker or cheater ya know? anyways i appreciate the feedback

I'll have to think about that.  In most cases, I wouldn't consider it a cheat, but there are some maps where it could give you a significant advantage.  It's kind of cheating on psychotic/psychosity, but nobody plays those maps anyway.  How do you find it helps on airtime?

when people go to the very top they are invisible, but if you use a light sky or a no texture at all, you can see them clearly

Ahh.  Was this fixed in airtime2?  Servers should really replace airtime with airtime2 anyway.  Airtime2 looks a lot better.

I can't speak for everyone else, but I prefer Airtime because it's cleaner, more straightforward, and isn't cluttered with too many barrels and otherwise unnecessary objects that are the bane of Airtime2.

Airtime2 is more of a "noob map", in the sence that there's that hidden ladder in the corner that almost everyone knows about, thus you don't have to be able to strafe jump or bunny hop to get to the top.
<--Edit-->
The edit was "airtime" to "airtime2", airtime doesn't have the ladder so it requires a little bit of skill to be able to get on the top.

I didn't like airtime2 because it removed whatever skill was required for some stuff in airtime.

I didn't know it either... Possibly because I hardly play on airtime and airtime2.
Where is it exactly and on which top do you get with the ladder?

I have an epileptic seizure whenever I play cosmic3, so the only thing I find is the floor.

Just kidding, I set gl_dynamic 0. :)

anyways guys this wasnt a thread to bash airtime(on a side not i personally like both of them). anywyas i was jus wondering cuz some folks seem to think its cheating on certain maps.....so jits whats the final verdict on sky changin??

Title: Re: answers about the sky instead of from it

I haven't really decided.  On one hand, the sky command is built into the game and can be used by anybody.  On the other hand, if a map was designed specifically so somebody could hide in a dark spot and use the sky for cover...
