Uploaded better example map |

Works with g_enablePortalSky 1 |
 |
The idea behind the sky optimization is, there's nothing behind it The sky in your test map actually renders, but at infinity and get overdrawn by the room floor afterwards Use r_subviewOnly 1 to check Do you want something like Prey 2005 portals? https://youtu.be/x8R1XCojhdI?t=4486 |

In my map I have a hole in the cave ceiling that moonlight streams in from. In the attached picture you can see it circled in red. This worked just fine up until 2.05, don't know why I didn't notice it not working before this though. EDIT: Also yes, it would be something I was going to use in this map also for a portal effect. |

I think as long as nothing overlaps the sky from behind you should be good If you do have something at the back then we can discuss this as a new feature but it's not a skybox by definition |
|
|
In the picture I posted, you can see circled in red, that the skybox I made is floating in the map, it's not touching an outside wall. I recorded a quick video in game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Blr2LBcvC8 |
 |
To make a proper skybox, you realign the borders of that big room so the other cube with skyportal material has its walls next to the void, with nothing else between. |

@Judith that's how it works now, but up until v2.05 it didn't work that way, you could have a skyportal on any face anywhere in your map and get the desired effect. |
|
|
Then it was like some other sort of a camera, I guess. Current skybox implementation is "by-the-book", and in line with how it works in other engines with subtractive geometry, where skybox was basically rendered instead of the void, and the skyportal was mostly just an invisible material that let you show it. IMO the feature you want should be made separate as another camera entity type. |
|
|
To reiterate, I think what you want should be filed under feature request rather than bugs But then again, if you just need a sky, it will be easier for everyone if you just slam it against the void |
|
|
Okay, I'll do my best to modify the map to accommodate the optimizations |

Closing bug report as it is working as intended. |
