Background help
on: March 05, 2017, 03:19:08 am
Hi guys, I'm trying to do something a little bit hacky here and I'm not sure how to go about it. Basically, I am trying to make a nebula with very limited fog and would like background objects - in this case a planet - to be visible through it. While the fog's transparency isn't an issue at all, the simple property of a mission having a nebula causes all background objects that are not suns to be culled. Is there any way around this without making a brand new background POF?

Skyboxes used to overide "background" of the full nebula setting, maybe that will help you ... you won't get all background objects but your skybox should be there

I'm already using a skybox, so that would require someone to import (I don't have the source) and re-export the POF after making the appropriate adjustments. There's no way at all to override the background bitmap culling?
