For now, there is only one set of sky textures that the engine will default to, because it won't be able to find the properly named textures in the actual weather hour for New Horizons.īut the modders for New Horizons developed many special sky conditions and textures for various weather conditions, so you won't be able to see their intended sky effects unless similar skybox textures are made to match their intended look. I do not remember all the details for what is still outstanding and needing work, other than I know for certain that the sky textures for New Horizons need to be redone for all weather hours, because the old engine format is not compatible. ![]() But since I never play New Horizons, and don't have enough knowledge for gameplay to even test it, I did not notice right away. When I noticed that, I debugged and corrected that change so it still compiles the New Horizon scripts correctly, because apparently I broke that recently. The recent compatibility change I made for Maelstrom was to correct an internal change I had made that apparently affected only New Horizons that prevented some of the mod scripts to no longer compile. As a result, I believe the New Horizons version is still quite old, at 14 Beta 4 WIP. I don't intend to do that work myself, so I don't do much for New Horizons, other than to try to keep the compatibilities that I already formulated to continue working, in case a New Horizons modder wants to continue testing and helping to identify and resolve the last bits that might need work nobody has done that. Unfortunately, only one person devoted some effort to test and help figure out those details, but he has long since abandoned the effort. ![]() ![]() The New Horizons offering was made as a "proof of concept" that it could be done and was meant to encourage some of the New Horizons community to continue working out the remaining issues (like incompatible weather sky textures issues that remained.someone needs to convert the old sky methods with the newer, COAS way of sky texture layout) so that it could be played with a newer engine, just like the community supposedly wanted for the last several years.
