Is there any way to make a skybox (360° with textures) be affected by an outer sector's fog/haze?

When I need that, I usually put the haze on to the sky textures directly using a grahics editing program.

Yep. Or try matching the fog with the skybox's color/part. Go to the game and type "Testfade RRGGBBAA" (where RGGBBAA is the hex value of a color). You may try typing string names of colors as well, like "Testfade khaki" or "testfade orange". Do that to check what color will work best in the game. Useful.

Okay, that makes sense to me but afaik it isn't possible to use more than one 360° skybox in one map, isn't it? I want some parts with fog and others without fog...

Okay, tried "Testfade ffaa00" and also "testfade ffaa0000" or "testfade ffaa00ff" but I always get a red fog with that. Testfade "orange" and similar things work.

Gldefs:

skybox FOGSKY // normal sky edited in Photoshop/PSP to look like hazey
{
SKY1N
SKY1E
SKY1S
SKY1W
SKY1T
SKY1B
}
skybox NORMALSKY
{
SKY2N
SKY2E
SKY2S
SKY2W
SKY2T
SKY2B
}

Mapinfo:

map map01 "Mymap"
sky1 FOGSKY 0.0
sky2 NORMALSKY 0.0

There's a sector property that selects the "2nd sky" for the sector. That *should* work

Try to mess around with the 'skyfog' MAPINFO option.

The syntax is

Testfade "RR GG BB"

so Testfade "FF FF FF" produces white.

@Paul - Thx, that sounds like a good solution, I will play around with that
