Re: Different Death Star Topic

darn ea, they really hate modders dont they...

what a shame they have to hardcode allot of the stuff that modders would use
to make better stuff...

so ty2, whens its in a skybox does that mean that you can see it, but you cant really go up to it because its out of the games boundaries or what?
i'd kinda like to know how that works..

Re: Different Death Star Topic

If it is in a skybox then you can see it, but it is just 2D, so you cant actually go to it. Things that are in a skybox are generally supposed to be far enough away that they appear 3d and not 2d.

A skybox is a picture that wraps around the playing feild. Its completely 2D. So no you cannot interact with it.

Re: Different Death Star Topic

Imagine an ordinary Battlefield level as a box that you play inside.
The bottom is the level itself with terrain, players etc.
The sides and top of the box are painted with the skybox, ordinary a blue sky.
Now if you change the skybox from a blue sky to an image of space, you would appear to be in space.
On the skybox you can also paint whatever you want, like a deathstar, but you will not be able to reach it since it's not part of the level, but wrapped around it.

Re: Different Death Star Topic

The skybox is actually a sphere I think, not a box, also, you can never reach it no matter how far you go out of bounds.
