=How to make a prefab skybox=

The easiest way to use a skybox in The Dark Mod is to use the prefab ones which come in the resources.

The first thing to do is create a textured box around your level. This can be caulk or texture, the important thing is that it has a texture so that the level is sealed.

The most simple thing to do is to make a box around the level and use the hollow tool.

Texture the inside facing sides with the textures/textures/smf/portal_sky texture, ensuring you only texture the inside facing sides, selecting them with control shift click.

Go to the edit menu, then “Load prefab” and navigate to the “prefabs” folder in “darkmod” folder and select “tdm_sky_starry1.pfb”.

Place this outside the main hollow box of your level. It is caulked on the outside and sealed so it will not leak.

Finished. When you load your level you will have an attractive night sky with clouds moon and stars.

Bob arctor:

You mean electricity is induced from magnetic fields, like how a transformer works?

So you have a fluctuating alternating current in the generator. This produces a fluctuating electromagnetic flux density in a field around it.
A wire in the fluctuating magnetic field will have an a.c. current induced in it.

In the real world over any distance the intensity decreases a lot, so transformers have both coils next to each other, otherwise they'd be really inefficient.

Maybe TDM electric stuff is just stupidly inefficient, which'd make it costly, or maybe the physics are such that it is more efficient.
