How do I make skybox/sunflares?

[Col. Burton]

I installed a sunflare to see how it was packaged, and I see this:

I have no idea what a .SUNFLARE file is, can someone help me on what exactly it is?

Probably just a text file, much like .cs

Probably just a text file, much like .cs

but what goes in it, nothing?

i opened one of my sunflare files in notepad and it showed this

Code: [Select]

$Sky::sunFlareTopTexture Add-Ons/SunFlare_Cinematic/OrangeFlare.png
$Sky::sunFlareBottomTexture Add-Ons/SunFlare_Cinematic/OrangeFlare.png
$Sky::sunational socialistmuth 167.51
$Sky::sunElevation 145.918
$Sky::sunFlareColor 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000 1.000000
$Sky::sunFlareSize 1.0
SunFlareTopIdx 5
SunFlareBottomIdx 3
so yeah, its just a weird text file

so I could just type all that into a .txt and rename it to ____.SUNFLARE and it will work?

Yes.
Though changing things to match what you need, but yes.
I believe you can also remove the azimuth and elevation so it doesn't mess with the position of the sun that the sky sets.
