You can increase the resolution to get more detail on the same area. If you want to have one or two wraparounds instead of the four we have now, the engine needs to be modified.
I see. Those changes would be too complicated for just changing the number of wraparounds? Hmm, let's just forget it, anyway - I think it wouldn't make a
HUGE difference

The changes themselves should be pretty simple, just different texture coordinates for the different sides. The problem is keeping things compatible with the old way (at least for 2.2), that would need some (imo undesirable) special casing. For trunk, just give us whatever skybox you want to have, and we'll make it work (well, if you can replace all skyboxes at same time so we don't need to stay compatible).

Yes.
Do you have a different sky?

Not really. I just don't know how to create a separate mountain sky. If I replace page-25-sky-urban.png, then that sky will show in the urban environment as well. How do I create one just for the Rockies? :-S

You give it to us, and we'll code it in.

You have to code it in? I was hoping it was easier than that.

Well, it's not very difficult coding. It'll probably be like one line of copy/pasting.

So what exactly do you do? I have a copy of trunk, you know.

Ctrl+F for "page-25-sky-urban.png" in the source files. It'll be pretty obvious once you see it.

For some reason, Windows searched only file names in my SVN dir. So I just grabbed another search tool.
Is it really coding to edit the wrf files? Anyways, I found em.

It's just the wrf files? I thought there needed to be code changes as well.

Well, I only found the wrfs. If there's anything else, let me know.
