Skyboxes replace the normal scenery of BZFlag.
The material names needed to create a skybox are:
| Material Name: |
| LeftSkyboxMaterial |
| RightSkyboxMaterial |
| TopSkyboxMaterial |
| BottomSkyboxMaterial |
| FrontSkyboxMaterial |
| BackSkyboxMaterial |
Working with Skyboxes.
Unless all six images load correctly, no skybox will be displayed. For this reason it is recommended to start with a working skybox, and change one texture at a time, testing each image one at a time. Colors are applied to this test world to assist in identifying left/right and front/back materials. Image size will be automatically scaled to fit. Maximum default image size for clients is 1024 by 1024 pixels. Power-of-two pixel dimensions are recommended, but not required. You will notice a thin black line in the corners, this is a bug. This thin black line is not seen on GNU/Linux. It may only be on Mac OSX.
It is important to have 6 _different_ materials. Even if they all should look the same make them differ using for example the ambient or shader properties.
