Hi good ppl of Esenthel,

Has anyone managed to add star using the environment editor-->Sky-->Star function? Because from my side, when I added the star image, its not working. When I use the cloud to test the image, it works but i dont want using that. Any idea?

   

You have to play with alpha value of Sky Color.

Thanks for the reply Harry but I don't get you. How do you change the alpha value of the sky? I don't see it in the settings. Could you guide me to it? Really appreciate it if you could. Thanks in advance

Edit: I found the value but still does not work. I couldn't see the stars picture.

yes, you need to reduce the alpha.
and the stars image must be in CUBE format (use converter to create cube map)

I thought about it too but when I checked gfx which is not in CUBE format it also works (tested for example with converted esenthel logo from SDK).

Harry, would you have a copy of the star gfx? May I have it? I would like find out how come mine are not working and your are. Just for my test purpose if it is alright with you.

Here is two files. star.gfx is my stars which I use in my game and this image is in cube format (6 identical images of stars). The second is Esenthel logo from SDK converted to .gfx ant it isn't in cube format. Both works ok in WE and in game.

Thanks again Harry.

Hi good people of Esenthel,

Yet again I find that the star aren't working anymore. At one point it was working (with Harry's Star sample) but recently we revisit this again and find the star are not working anymore with the latest update. Is anyone experience this problem recently?

Hi,

Thanks for the info, I've just checked it, it works ok for Editor.exe but does not work in DX10, is that the case for you?
I'm investigating

Just fixed it, will work ok in next SDK.
