What are <skyname_E.dds> files for?
Hi,

so there are sky texture files in data/pic folder (BWskysunny1 etc), but there is also BWskysunny1_E file (same goes for all the other sky texture names from the pic folder) in the data/dds folder.

What are these _E files for? Are they somehow associated with reflections, lighting, from what I have found on the forum? Or are they an alternative way to change sky textures, aside from changing them in the data/pic folder?

Thanks.

They were originally used for reflections before the new shaders which use a generated reflection based on the sky.

Those files are not supplied with the new full versions.
