Changing Just Sky and Horizen of a Wad

With TRwest can you change just the sky Graphics and horizen of a wad. If you can what files do you need to take to the new wad for it to work?

The sky graphics are not in the wad... which is why the TRwest documentation says that if you want a sky in the wads that it extracts from tr4 levels such as the Times level, you have to go borrow the sky from a different level. The sky is contained in the *.raw file. Don't forget to enable the horizon in the script file.

Basically you take sky_graphic and horizon_graphic from the wad(s) that you want and import them into your chosen WAD, as Dale says make sure if you are using a wad that doesn't currently have horizon like catacombs that you enable it in the script.

This pic is taken from a level done in karnak, which although has horizon enabled the sky is a murky light grey. This has the sky colour from coastal and if you look closely the horizon from Angkor.
