Skyboxes

Skyboxes are textures used as the sky.

The skybox textures uses the naming convention: [basename][part][extension], where

basename - is the name that you will use within loadsky command when want to load the sky replacement
part - is one of bk, dn, lf, ft, rt and up, and
extension - is usually .png or .tga

These files goes into /qw/env/.

E.g: You want to use skybox called Day. Then you have to have files daybk.tga, daydn.tga, dayft.tga, daylf.tga, dayrt.tga and dayup.tga in /qw/env/. Then run the command /loadsky day into the console.

You can also use the /skygroup command to define rules to use different sky textures in different maps.

Player skins

Located in /qw/skins/, see Player Skins for more info.

Turning off textures

ezQuake allows a great deal of customisation when rendering the world

/r_drawflat 1
- Ignore textures from the map and render the world as shades. Colors are set depending on the normal of the surface - surfaces pointing more vertically than horizontally will be rendered as floors, others as walls.
- /r_wallcolor color, /r_floorcolor color
  - Sets the colors to use for walls and floors/ceilings respectively
/r_fastsky, /r_fastturb
- Determines if sky & turb textures (other liquids, such as teleporters) should be rendered flat
- /r_telecolor, /r_skycolor, r_lavacolor, /r_slimecolor
  - Sets the colors of liquids that are being rendered as flat color
/r_skyname - Sets the name of a skybox to use instead of sky textures. See section on [external textures][external-textures] for more info.
/gl_textureless 1 - Turns off textures, setting the color of each surface to the top-left pixel of corresponding texture
/gl_max_size num - Sets the detail level for textures, where num is between 1 (/gl_textureless) and 16384 (max detail)
