Get rid of mountains in background?

Post by LouMan »

Anyone know if it is possible to disable or somehow mask the mountains in the background? I am contemplating a map that is set next to the sea, and the mountains do not fit into the scheme of things...

In the Rain'N Frogs level I used a dome shaped mesh to define my own sky.

It would be nice if there was a way to disable either or both the mountains and clouds. Being able to change their textures would be cool too. :)

Yeah.. I agree.. the mountains don't look even all around... and the clouds are too thin...

The mountains are defined in the client, as .png files. I've got replacements for them for a map I made that look like ocean surface with distant islands. However, I'm the only person that can see them unless we have a way to distribute "horizons" as a server function.
