Thanks for the quick reply - well it seems to me that the sky (for example in EJ) is just an unidentifiable mass of grey mist and does not exactly look any good. not sure if that is intended or not.

Are there any steps besides just installing the files? Maybe I did something wrong..

About half of the zones do not use the skybox. Instead it is a solid fog color. Emerald Jungle is supposed to be a greenish grey. Right now it probably looks blue/grey and that'll be fixed soon . The color for many fog-only zones won't be correct until the next patch because they require server-side changes.

Perhaps it is how I see it but Neriak now appears to be in a blue fog. And removing the black from the Temple makes it loose its depth and the red makes it look "flat".

That's exactly how those zones originally looked.

Seeing that screenshot of Neriak is what convinced me to finally download this and I am very pleased with what I've seen so far. While the wife and I were raiding in PoS yesterday she looked over at my screen and commented on how awesome the sky looked.

Thank you very much for your hard work, I'm going to recommend this to all my friends.

I'm glad you like the changes! Those updated fog effects will be in next patch. Like this one for Velketor:

Dude HELL yes. Original skybox? I hardly remember what it was like before they changed it on live, and I was there for that patch.

Solid work guys. I love it.

I cannot restore original sky box sadly because of how it's coded into client, but I am modifying what is possible for now. I was able to restore the original sun and moon graphic for example, but not the original clouds and their exact color scale. It'll be much closer to it though.

Hey don't sweat it. The closer you can make it, the better. I'm impressed you lads are going this far. Do it up man [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.].
