I am new and already create my first map when compiling it is very dark as I can put more light I am using a skybox with shader







im used Q3mapToolz


this is my shader for skybox

textures/01img/misky
{
q3map_sun 1 1 1 100 0 90
surfaceparm sky
surfaceparm nomarks
qer_editorimage textures/01img/misky.tga
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
q3map_lightsubdivide 256
q3map_surfacelight 50
skyparms textures/01img/env/nightsky - -
nopicmip
nomipmaps
}

Thanks!

I moved your topic to the appropriate subforums.

Regarding your sun skybox shader, it has been a while since i last did any mapping.
My bet is that your skybox is just too dark. This can happen rather quickly if there are no other lights on the map.
According to the documentation surfacelight does choose its colour based on the avg texture colour, so that makes it darker still. Generally you want to use skylight for the skybox and sunExt for a skybox.

Check out the forums and resources over at Custom Map Makers as well.

I use q3map_sunExt on a texture, I haven't used a skybox for a while either

q3map_sunExt #r #g #b, #intensity[contrast; high is dark shadow], #degrees[0east 90north 180west 270south], #elevation [0sunrise/sunset 90noon], #deviance, #samples

ie q3map_sunExt # # # # # # 3 16

the first three numbers are the colour in RGB
next is the intensity, which I see as similar to contrast
the next two numbers set the angle of the sun, degrees and it's elevation
the last two numbers, are it's deviance and then the number of samples

There is always lots to learn and I have a very basic understanding but I hope this can help.

Turn up the intensity, maybe closer to 400/500, will be a blaring bright day

q3map_sun 1 1 1 500 0 90

and adjust the angle

q3map_sun 1 1 1 500 0 45

Below is a script I wrote for a 'dull depressing sky late afternoon?', it's intensity is very low (110)

q3map_sunExt 1 0.90 0.50 110 140 40 3 16
