I remember one time, I believe Ozzy took the sky down.  The whole thing turned bright red, what a mess.  It was around 2am, and my eyes nearly came out of my skull.

As a point of history:  Our last server clear was on September 27, 2004.  That is 4963 days ago (13.6 years) as of today.

If you're visiting after a long hiatus and have forgotten your password, try emailing me via the support form at http://www.pcrpg.org.

If your character is from after the 2004 clear but appears to have been deleted or reset, chances are it was caught in one of the inactive account purges over the years.  Backups were made before such events, so try the support form.

*shocking story*

You know, back then I actually visited the server on a regular basis.  :D

Ok.  So if everybody wants the sky changed, what should it be changed to?  *suspense*

Being one of the 3 (so far) who've said "leave it alone", if it must be changed, I say make it a bright lemony yellow, with a smiley face somewhere in the north...

...or perhaps a nice emerald green, like the color scheme of the forums.

...something in a plaid?  NO a big ol' fractal mandlebrot!! yeah!!

maybe a big picture of biscuits and gravy....mmmmmmm.

Weeell, I kind of meant out of the ones included in Tribes.  I'm no artist.  Making a skybox would be a toughie for me.

If you want to see a different sky show up on my server at these times.
**or show up when im in there and ill give you a demo**

6am cst  (dawn)- blue starry sky
8am cst  (day)- white cloudy sky, sunny
8pm cst  (dusk)- golden brown with stars
9pm cst  (night)- black sky with stars

We used to have the sky cycle through day/night about once an hour, but as some of the ppl in this thread pointed out (lol, they played through it) it causes a severe video glitch that can be quite annoying.  The solution that I came up with was to install a timestamp patch on the server so that the server could tell the actual time that is on the pc.  Using that a way was devised of making the sky change only 4 times per day, thereby eliminating the glitch.  It's pretty nifty.  If ppl want it over your bland sky, then I'll give you the code.  Seems like there is an outcry for a new sky.  The only thing I ask is that you dont use the exact same skies.  Corona will be able to help you out with it if you decide to do it.

Let me get this straight.  The script you'll let me use but the skies that came with Tribes you don't want me to?  That seems backwards.

My favorite sky is probably the starry night, clear skies...but I think it only works REALLY well on desert terrain (makes it even more accurate lol)

I suppose a super day time partly cloudy sky would be good (if tribes has that), otherwise....I like the big smiley face idea

im thinkin like a sunny day one, a cloudy day, and a stary night.  that is if we can use a script to change them on server restart or whatever other event that wont make the game glitchy.
