Cool Live server's water/sky

Live server has a beautiful sky with an amazing sunset - at night, it even has a starry sky. The water gfx were also vastly improved.

Is there a way to port these gfx in p99 (sky + water)? It's hard to look back at the choppy bitmap oceans and bland sky.

Anyone know where to start to try to swap out water n sky gfx to look like this, assuming a visual only change would be legit? Where is sky and water stored?

Indeed, but so have the textures and spells -- there are a ton of aesthetic mods in this forum for people that want the classic experience but with modern gfx. Just need to know how for sky/water in a similar fashion. Gotta make use of these pixels!

[Water] Found it, maybe: https://www.project1999.com/forums/s...d.php?t=139469

[Sky] There's also an INI file. I bet if I can find live's for the template, if it follows Titanium, it'll do the trick. Or maybe an old post.

Explicitly disabled? I understand doing this by default, but to server-side disable it even if you want it is incredibly lame, considering there are so many pick n choose non classic goodies. Wow. It's not like it affects anyone else.

(Doh, edit time expired) How is this any different from changing textures?

I explicitly agree with this (lol). It's not a quality of life issue, it should be a simple adjustment, it affects no one but the end user, and it contradicts the fact that most people are uprezzing character models, entire zones, and using a Velious UI when Velious hasn't been released yet.

Soooo... *bump* let's find a solution that makes common sense here folks. I vote for the ability to achieve HD sky and water. Anyone else?
