Environments

environmentX.mdl where X = 1-10, but 9 and 10 aren't used in game. GlobeX.x is the same, but in directX format. I think they are all the same except 10, which uses a more standard cylindrical mapping.

I've been experimenting a little with different shapes/mappings, but feel free to come up with something of your own.

Meh, apparently I'm too dull to make >16 bit environments using text mdl + png. The game just crashes.

BTW Allegiance uses the UV mapping from globe(x).mdl

Space, open the text mdl in notepad, paste it here.

The file is environment1bmp.mdl (which is used by globe1.mdl) in Artwork/Textures.

Content is:

use "model";
environment1bmp = ImportImageFromFile("Textures/environment1.png", true);

And environment1.png is in place too, obviously.

Also, remapping globe1.mdl worked, but replacing the low poly sphere with a different one didn't.

Did you invert/flip the normals?

Remember, we are inside the sphere, and the backs of faces aren't rendered.
