Title: "Static" Subspace Effect: Possible?
Post by: Mobius on December 26, 2006, 06:12:05 am

I wonder if he can create a 'static' subspace skybox . InSTEAD of fighting in a tunnel, I'd like to create a mission in subspace, without any tunnels. I think it's possible by reskinning a bit the spheric skybox model with subspace textures,but I don't know if the subspace sound will work.

Any ideas?

I'm doing something similiar in Dreamcatcher, but it's not a subspace tunnel. I have yet to test it fully however, and I don't know whether this background of mine will work...

Can'y you just use a background skybox? Any silly noises you want to fire off you can do using SEXPs.

every-time
... variable = random number between 1 and 1000
... when random = number = 1
... ... play sound 1
... when random = number = 2
... ... play sound 2

Can you use an animated texture?

But I have to reskin it anyway.

I wonder if this cheat will work if I activate the subspace option and use the reskinned skybox at the same time. I should have both the normal subspace sounds and the reskinned skybox.

Subspace is just a pof. Make a new pof if you want that. However, you'd be better off just scripting it all in FRED. Everything that is subspace can be simulated outside of it in FRED.

It doesn't work. I have reskinned the starfield pof with no results.
