Valcanic map

[Sharpshooter]

I'm thinking about making a map of the inside of a valcano. If I even decide to do it, I probably won't start for a couple weeks, depending when iBZEdit comes out. But I'm not sure how hard it would be (for me at least) because I've only made 2 maps so far. I guess the only hard parts would be to get lava moving (don't know how to move textures), making rock/dirt mouds, and making everything dark. Because even setting the sky to black wouldn't stop players to adjust the time of day (unless maybe the "ceiling" would make a dark enough shadow to cover the map...

Anyway, in the meantime while waiting for iBZEdit, i'll keep thinking of ideas for the map.

Sounds hard, but good luck!
(i think you need to add some fog to look like black smoke coming up at of the volcano )

OK, how do I set moving textures, make mound-like objects, and make the whole map darkish?

for whole map darkish maybe put in a little black fog?

OK, how do I set moving textures

try this

#make a textureMatrex:

texturematrix
name texmat_1
shift 90 0
end

#make a material:

material
name lava
texture
clouds
texmat texmat_1
diffuse 0 0 0 1
emission 0 0 0 0
end

#apply to meshbox:

meshbox
matref lava
position 0 0 0
size 10 10 10
end

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the help, inferno.
I tested it out on my server, messed with the "shift" and got it just right. The only thing is, the lavaflow is going to be 1 dementional, on the ground facing upward.

I noticed that the sides have better quaility of the texture and lookes better. When looking at the top of it, it seemes a bit "stretched". Is there any way to make the top of it to look normal like the sides?
