How to make a sky?

[TB2]

How can I create a sky texture? I know how to do it (panorama) but how can I make the atmosphere files and stuff?

Those files are just text files with a different extension. Open them with Notepad, it'll work fine.

On that note, I don't know the format for them, so if you already knew the above, sorry for the lack of helpfulness.

xalos was just talking about opening up an atmosphere file and editing it from there, but i think there are max values that some people don't know right off the bat.
here's a function that rotondo talked about in his gamemode reference:

• saveEnvironment( %fileName ) - This will save your current environment settings to a text file, has to be in a folder.
  Example: saveEnvironment( "config/mySettings.txt" );
  

so just load up a blockland server/singleplayer and change your environment settings to your liking. then put the saveEnvironment command in console.

That's environmental settings, not a sky add-on.

alright, but i said that because he asked

but if he means actually putting the pictures he has into his environment add-on, he should probably look in the default environment add-ons to see what the image files are called. they have to be 512x512 px in size iirc
