SWG Skies vs. Vurt's Hi-Res Skies

Post » Fri Dec 09, 2011 7:22 pm

Which one do you use, if you use any. Or do you use a little of both? I spent the last hour trying to decide whether or not I should use SWG's night sky or Vurt's night sky. And then I had to test them each with the .ini settings from Vurt, which made me decide again if I wanted to use his .ini settings. In the end, I chose to use Vurt's night sky and chose not to use the ini. It was too bright with that setting. Maybe if it was toned down, I would use it. That was the only trouble I had on deciding which one to use, because I haven't really compared the clear day skies and the other stuff with each other... but I just went with Vurt again. I still think about going back to SWG's night sky...

I hear SWG's night skies are supposed to be best, so it probably would be good to use the night skies from that one, and Vurt's for any of the other ones you want.

Use a combination of both and a night sky I put together myself from Freespace 2 resources.

I hear it's good if you take all of SWG's skies including the night sky, but only the blight sky from vurt.

I prefer Vurt's skies. And I think his ini tweaks are incredible.

AOF also has some great skies. I've used them a lot in the past.

Vurt's skies only replace the "main" folder in SWG's mod, which consists of all ten weather conditions plus night skies. As for which individual replacements I'd recommend using, Vurt's Skies are the clear winner in all but two categories: night and snow. The snow and blizzard skies are actually a pretty close match, and my preference of SWG's over Vurt's may be more a matter of personal taste than anything. But I can honestly say beyond the shadow of any doubt that SWG's night skies kick the everloving [censored] out of Vurt's.

Does his .ini setting works SWG skies? Or should I say, does it go well with it?

Is it also a good idea to use SWG light or dark ini settings?
