Well, I was looking around for a way to change the sky for a while and
haven't seen anything yet in forums and and i noticed that when i type
#zsky 0
or
#zsky 1 it would just change it from blank to regular...
as an experiment i tried to change the sky in qeynos to the luclin sky ... and
it worked, this is how it works:
A) go into your EverQuest directory and open the 'Resources' folder
B) Open up Sky.ini, move it to its own folder (it wont let
you edit it if its still in the directory) and scroll down to where it says
"[SkySetting-qeynos]" and below it change the information from figure
a to figure b:
BEFORE:
Code:
[SkySetting-qeynos]
OpaqueAngle=0.0
TransparentAngle=0.1
DefaultWeather=DefaultClear
MinAngle=0.000000
MaxAngle=-0.481145
MinWidth=0.342776
MaxWidth=-0.204408
MinCameraZ=-20.000000
MaxCameraZ=75.000000
AFTER:
Code:
[SkySetting-qeynos]
DefaultWeather=LuclinNight-0
MinAngle=-0.009169
MaxAngle=-0.237184
MinWidth=0.169098
MaxWidth=0.351511
MinCameraZ=-254.000000
MaxCameraZ=143.000000
and after saving and moving it back to its original place
below is the result:
ADDING ZONES TO SKY.INI
(for specific skies to appear in specific zones that areant already included on the sky.ini list) :
You can ADD entries to
Sky.ini too - If you wanted to add a zone thats not on the list (such as tutoriala) then you go to the top of Sky.Ini and make the neccasary
changes (while going below and adding a relative piece to go with it):

MaxWidth=0.351511
MinCameraZ=-254.000000
MaxCameraZ=143.000000
(note: the zone tutoriala is a horrible place to actually test this since theres no way to look at the sky in that zone, this zone is
only used in the code above strictly for the sake of the example)
Now... Does anyone know if its possible to make custom skies? How would that work?
