Title: Stars and skyboxes
Post by: Polpolion on April 10, 2008, 09:16:29 pm

Is there anyway to completely remove all of the stars from a mission? It's kind of annoying playing with a night high-atmospheric skybox, and having stars appear on the surface of the planet.

If there is no way for this to currently happen with given tools in FRED, is there any chance of having a no-stars feature for FRED added in the near future? :)

Notepad.

$Num stars: 0

Do debug builds complain about doing that? Does it cause any bugs at all?

If both the above are negative this is literally a 5 second fix. Which is what makes me so suspicious no one has ever done it before.

Playing with xt-0314-debug, no complaining, and no bugs so far.

All of the TVWP missions have num stars set to zero, and so do the revamped missions I have worked on in the FSCRP.  Never heard of any issues with it.

I had them to 4000. But the new starfield is ruined by the retail FS2 stars.

Okay, fixed. I'll commit it later today.
