Skybox

Skyboxes replace the normal scenery of BZFlag.

The material names needed to create a skybox are:

• LeftSkyboxMaterial
• RightSkyboxMaterial
• TopSkyboxMaterial
• BottomSkyboxMaterial
• FrontSkyboxMaterial
• BackSyboxMaterial

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 material. Image size will automatically be scaled to fit. Maximum default image size for clients is 512 by 512 pixels. Power-of-two pixel dimensions are recommended, but not required.
