The post apocalypse looks so much vibrant when the clouds are huge and a dark orange color. I would love to have a replace sky box that is more nuked out the the grey skies that came with the default game.

I looked for a pic but will have to post that later.
please post pics of nuked out skies for inspiration.

Is this the type of thing you mean?



I'm never sure how much intensity the red/orange should have. I tried it once and it looked like I was in hell.

Yeah sure thats what I am looking for. You should see about making that a mod. I would advise releasing 2 or 3 files and have diferent adjustments. the one where you said you looked like you were in hell sounds awesome.

Could you tell me where you changed that please?

Fallout - Textures.bsa - /textures/sky/

• urbancluodovercastlower01.dds
• urbancloudovercastupper02.dds
• wastelandcloudcloudylower01.dds
• wastelandcloudcloudyupper01.dds

A bug I'm having atm is that these two also need to be changed but as soon as I load them in PS and save them again they become corrupted. I'm unsure how to fix this so the horizon remains grey.

• wastelandcloudhorizon01.dds
• wastelandcloudhorizon02.dds

A darker red version...

I dont know how to get into those files I guess cuz I cant find them. It is looking good

Download ScripterRons FO3Archive Utility.

Fallout - Textures.bsa is in your Fallout 3/Data directory. Decompress it to get the files. You then need an image app that supports .dds textures to view modify the files (I use Photoshop CS2 - this needs a plugin)

Go nuts, retex whatever you want.

thats a lot to swallow, atm Iam just glad that there is at least 1 person here trying to nuke out the skies. When I get some time I will be tinkering around with textures. I hope i dont screw anything up. lol
