mirv_fx_skyhd 0|1|2

• Default: 0

• 0 : Off

• 1 : load a sky from files, as outputted by the HLAE Sky Manager

• 2 : for loading old HLAE skies

You can change the sky bitmap files while the game is running. Just enter mirv_fx_skyhd 1 into the console to make MDT reload / update the sky with the files from disk.

When enabled MDT will look in the folder where the HL.exe of your game is located for the files

• mdtskyrt.bmp - right side of the skyboy
• mdtskybk.bmp - back
• mdtskylf.bmp - left
• mdtskyft.bmp - front
• mdtskyup.bmp - top (up)
• mdtskydn.bmp - bottom (down)

and use those to replace the skybox.

You can use the HLAE Sky Manager to assist you with migrating files from programs like Terragen.

• 24 bit TrueColor bitmaps (BMP)
• can have higher and lower resolutions (i.e. 512x512 while CS only has 256x256)

Tip: Since many cards do not support or not accelerate non power of two texture sizes, it's recommended to choose width and height to be a power of two, i.e.: 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048. (Width and height don't have to be of the same dimension, you can choose 1024x512 for example.)
