Hi

Is it possible to change the sky and the horizon in the SAME LEVEL?

If it's possible can you tell me how?

Thanks

You need to change the script if you want to change the sky.

Find the line that starts with "LAYER1=". There follow four numerals which refer to the two parameters susceptible to alteration. The first three define the colour of the sky in RGB values, the last one sets the speed for the cloud movement.

It is also possible to add another line "LAYER2=" etc., but I haven't experimented with that yet and therefore can't tell you anything about the effect likely to be produced thereby.

If you mean change the sky/horizon while playing a level, like a change of state, I think the answer is no. Actually you need to build two separate levels and connect them like they did in TRLR. Itīs in the manual.

or you can just change the raw file (just like i did with lara's home).
I can't give you a screenshot but it is ''possible''.

The other option is to use vastly different light levels from room to room

In an outside area if you drop the light level down it gives the impression of early evening or dusk.

I am using it on my current level to try and show the passage of time.

Just another tip -

For internal environments, specially big areas like caves, cathedrals, temples, etc. itīs a good idea to use sunlight, to create shadows and enhance the 3D perspective. You can click the blue button to make it OFF so it wonīt affect Lara or other objects, disabling the "outside" visual impression. It will still cast shadows. Then you can enhance the scenario with placed lights and shadows.
