Mapdev:skyreflectmod

Sky Reflection Modifier Texture

Sets the weight for mixing the diffuse texture colour with the reflected colour of the sky. This occurs before any other shading calculations use the diffuse colour.

This can be used to suggest a surface composed of reflective materials, such as ice or crystals.

Modifies the diffuse colours as follows:
diffuseColor.r = diffuseColor.r * (1 - skyReflectModTex.r) +
                   reflectionColor.r * skyReflectModTex.r
diffuseColor.g = diffuseColor.g * (1 - skyReflectModTex.g) +
                   reflectionColor.g * skyReflectModTex.g
diffuseColor.b = diffuseColor.b * (1 - skyReflectModTex.b) +
                   reflectionColor.b * skyReflectModTex.b

Equivalent to the GLSL code: (diffuseColor is a vector)
diffuseColor = mix(diffuseColor, reflectionColor, skyReflectModTex)
