Galaxy Forge - Galaxy Background Image

from Sins Forums
Hello,

i've got a question about the SoaSE-Map-Editor, Galaxy Forge. Having created a galaxy, containing 3 star-systems with several planets, i'm wondering how to change the background image of the differnt galaxies, e.g. a red, a blue and a green "glowing" star-SYSTEM (not star!).

Like this green glowing background: http://www.gamingsteve.com/images/2008/02/sins_of_a_solar_empire_1.jpg

I've got started the map about twenty times, before one star-system displayed in a light blue glow. Otherwise they were black-backgrounded (boring...).

Now the question: Is it possible to set the background color texture to a fix setting? Or is it only a default value?

greetings

I think it's dependent on the star...

Galaxy Forge can't actually change skyboxes, it just does the map layout. The skyboxes are plugged in by the game when you launch the map.

I am not sure if it's possible to make specific skyboxes for specific star systems, though, but my gut tells me you can't.
