Do you know what farplane is?
exec global weather scr.
And how this script works?
Okay, first of all there's a mod which changes skies, but it can only be done through radiant(meaning you need to have the .map file and you need to know how) and finishing it off through script, it's impossible to do only through script. You can add lightning(flashing) by using this in the prespawn:
It depends on what map it's used, without presetting this in your .map this'll probably look ugly.
You can also use this, though it's server side and only works on stock maps:

Then you can't see a thing. Screen's black, maybe your weapon if you're lucky lol
Also, I got more inside on this "will look ugly thing", don't use it in maps with bright skies, the flashes'll turn the skies blue for a sec.

hes probaly talking about night mods...the use of fastsky and the global weather script used together to get lightning thunder and a black sky...maybe this info will help with getting a black sky..i think exec global/weather.scr was mentioned above to get lightning and thunder

Usually, weather.scr is exec'd globally (not thread-specific) because you're supposed to use it along with the map you created.
Gold, the link on tmt is down.

well for the dark sky i did this...it was on destoyed village and came out perfect....ran it like this for several months before turning the lights back on lol
put this in ur script before prespawn
Code: Select all
setcvar "r_fastsky" "1"
$world farplane 3500
$world farplane_color (0 0 0)

nice one tazz
But changing it to other colours is impossible, silentangel (without the .map at least). Tazz' script removes the sky (ie making it dark).
You cannot however use weather.scr with this since that script resets the farplane.

As I have pointed out in another discussion on the subject, forcing fastsky with the setcvar command will only work on non-dedicated servers for the game host only, everyone else will see the sky as normal. You need to stufftext it periodically to everyone one the server.
