Inventory settings folder > Skies unusable VIEWER 2

[lapopo]

Hello,

In the folder "settings" in my inventory the old skies I imported became unusable. They are named "?xxx" and there is no context menu when right clicked (besides properties and rename). Could you help me?

You need to be using an EEP enabled viewer to use those environmental settings.
You can download the latest LL EEP-RC viewer here: https://releasenotes.secondlife.com/viewer/6.4.0.527723.html

Thank you very much Whirly, I got my skies back.  I have a new computer and I guess I downloaded another viewer.

But now the the skies don't look good (atmospheric shaders is checked), especially the clouds

[Whirly Fizzle]

Can you post a picture showing how the skies look bad & the location you took the image?

here is a picture of Cica's dark sky with dark clouds and red lights behind (The Girl Who Cried Wolf). I took the picture on a plateform I rent http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Briar Rose Realm/204/100/4003

I went to that location & the region is set to use the default day cycle.
Can you pass me one of the EEP settings inworld that doesn't look correct?

[lapopo]

thank you, I sent one to you inworld.

[Whirly Fizzle]

Got it.
Do you happen to have the windlight xml file for that sky too?

I applied that setting to a region.

Looking at the region sky on the default release viewer, Second Life Release 6.2.2.527338 (64bit),  this is what I see.
Toggling ALM does not change the look of the sky at all, as expected.

On the EEP-RC viewer, Second Life Release 6.4.0.527723 (64bit). this is what I see.

The sun isn't rendering correctly & when ALM is disabled the sky is totally black.

Thank you very much Whirly.

Yes, I'm using the EEP-RC  6.4.0.527723 (64bit) an the skies don't look good at all.

I think I will go back to the default release viewer because I havn't manage to create such beautiful skies with my current viewer. I have a lot of skies in my inventory, so i'm going to note the settings before changing the viewer and I will try to recreate them on the default viewer.

I hope the EEP viewer will be improved because SL with no magic skies becomes less interesting for me

Thanks again for your help!

I will try to recreate my skies with firestorm viewer too.

You don't have to manually re-enter the settings.  You can download and upload Windlight settings.  See this thread, or do a Google search.  https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/384148-how-do-i-download-the-windlight-settings-from-the-firestorm-viewer-to-the-linden-lab-viewer/

I have all my skies now, both on SL default viewer and on firestorm, and they look good.
