Hi everyone.

I barely post here but I was asking if someone has made a downloadable alteration of Rhen Var: Citadel for PC but rather than it being in the daytime like in the PC version, it has the PS2 skybox. Looks something like this https://youtu.be/tmawp5JotVM

Please and thank you.

As far as I can tell, the PS2 texture are not included in the mod tools.
However, I tried my best to edit the original sky texture to mimic the texture in you video (turned down brightness and saturation).
In addition, I used the ambient color settings from PS2.
Make a copy of your original file and replace it with this lvl file (GameData/Data/_LVL_PC/RHN/Rhn2.lvl): https://mega.nz/file/0ClDQa6R#CSiLUosZ1UoFS-XcrXdW-I5PMxLErrOKicNJ8Jr3R64

You could experiment for yourself if you get the mod tools.
Simply import the stock map and ...
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2.sky
- Find the sections called PS2() and PC() and copy the values (or tune it)
- Locate the file: BFBuilder/DataRhn2/Worlds/Rhn2/world1/RhenVar2_sky.tga
- Edit the texture with an image manimulation program (like GIMP) to your preferences

Attached you find a preview.

looks pretty good. Thanks and I'll take a look at BFBuilder and see how that goes.
