CYLINDER

The texture is wrapped around the horizon like a cylinder and visible at all places where a sky texture is assigned to a surface in the map. This can be used for mountains or for a city landscape in a distance. The texture must be a power of two in horizontal size, and the horizontal edges must match each other seamlessly. It may be bigger than the texture size limit of the 3D card. The scale_x parameter gives the horizontal sector covered by the texture in 360 degree units (default 1= full circle). The horizontal and vertical position can be set through its pan and tilt angles. By changing pan through a function the cylinder can be rotated. TGA texture are translucent depending on their alpha channel.

Type:

flag (flags2, sky definition only)

Example (lite-C):

ENTITY* mountain =
{
  type = "mountains.pcx";
 	layer = 3; 
 	scale_x = 0.25; 
 	tilt = -10;
 	flags2 = SKY | CYLINDER | SHOW;
}

Example (C-Script):

SKY mountain =
{
  type = "mountains.pcx";
 	layer = 3; 
 	scale_x = 0.25; 
 	tilt = -10;
 	flags = CYLINDER | SHOW;
}
