| Skyportal (1.0) - File Description |
|
Description:
Skyportal is not a gameplay mod, but is intended as a modder resource.
Skyportal introduces 3D Skyboxes from Resurrection of Evil to Vanilla Doom 3.
Within the code I've produced a series of assets to help producing contents taking full advantages of this system.
3D Skyboxes are a good alternative to the normal 2D one. With this system you can render real 3D objects as skybox.
You have simply to create a room with what you want to show in the skybox, even monsters.
Then with some simple steps your little room will be enlarged 16 times on the skybox.
What this mean? You can create more detailed even animate skyboxes, with better performance and less pain to create a six side cubemap as
included there are skydomes that use 360° seamless sky textures of 1024x512.
Included in the zip there is a complete manual on how setup a 3D skybox and the relative entities, with map samples and scripts.
It uses a new DLL, so you can't add other mods that have custom DLLs. But the Source code is included in the zip, so you can change it
at your pleasure and port it on Mac and Linux.

Posts: 1117 | So that's what that was in RoE. I haven't played the expansion pack since I got a new and five times as good video card but from what I remember those were seriously screwed up for me.
I hope this works if I ever decide to try playing with it. |

Posts: 1117 | The one I had when it was buggy was a Radeon X1900GT with 256 MB of vRam.
I haven't played it with the one I have now (512MB Radeon HD4870) yet but I'll try it out right now because I can. |

Posts: 305 | Wow, that's quite the upgrade. I'm more into nVidia's stuff myself, but I've heard nothing but rave reviews about that HD4870. |

Posts: 1117 | My brother has the Newegg account and I wanted an nVidia but an ATI is what I got.
He builds computers so I guess he has the authority but I had an even better experience with nVidias before than with the X1900GT.
Anyway RoE just stopped working and I blame Steam so I can't see how it works with skyboxes and I'm too lazy to try this out with regular Doom 3. |

Posts: 19 | at fraggles: maybe I wasn't clearn on the readme. But this isn't a real mod, but modder resource. It adds 3D Skyboxes on regular Doom3. RoE already have this feature.
Other than the code I've also added some assets to use the 3D Skyboxes. I've done this little addon because regular Doom 3 doesn't have this feature, and I think is usefull for mods. |
