Need held Changing Ballpark Skies/Lighting

[murph4thehall]

Anyone know a good method or a editor/mod to change the lighting angles and intensity for a stadium? I hate the "dusk" setting in Atlanta.

I think the sky can be edited i'm pretty sure there is a .fsh file in the stadium .big that contains those. Open the .big in EA Graph and edit the sky file once you found it. Just replace them with a day sky from another stadium I think :| I havn't messed with that yet but plan to eventually

im going to bump this t hread because i too would like some help in possbily editing the night sky texture. I've never edited a file before outside of tune files, so i'm an extreme newbie at this.

is there a step by step instruction on how to do something like this for the sky? What i'm trying to accomplish is edit the night sky to look more realistic. There shouldn't be stars, the sky shouldn't be too blue or black. The lights would add a sort of greyish fog to the sky from the stadium lights. I would the sky to look like that.

Any good tutorials for doing something like this for the sky?

Follow pirate's oedit tutorial to unpack the stadium you want to modify, and find a stadium whose sky you like, and unpack that. Then make a file called sky.bat and put this in it:

ECHO sky changer

pause

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky0.orl

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky0.ord

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky1.orl

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky1.ord

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky2.orl

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky2.ord

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky3.orl

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky3.ord

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky4.orl

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky4.ord

gfxpak -p aa03nite.big sky0.fsh

pause

Once that's in, copy all of the sky*.* files from the stadium you like into the stadium you want to change, run that file, and it should be all set. Then go into the lighting.csv file and change the stadium you just repacked's entry to whatever sky you changed it to, so if you changed it from turner day to orioday, and orioday has 02_day, go to turner day's entry in lighting.csv and change it to 02_day.

so this needs to be done per each stadium rather than once overall? That seems like a ton o work.......

thanks 69Yanks, but i'm not looking for the field lighting. I'm looking for the sky textures.......

question kinda related to that...even after changing the lighting files etc at the ted for example, the stadium still has a yucky peach tint to it. any way to correct this?
