Anyone else here for pre-planet update planet fun?

I've updated this recently. It can be found here: https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2659332712

Only black sky. SE must have been changed to show black instead of pink when there is no skybox.

update please this looks so sexy

Thanks dude.

Sure, go ahead. Better it be used than forgotten in the sands of time :p

Hey Star-X, can I convert your Earthlike Planet Atmosphere skybox, for another game, Void Destroyer 2?

Sure, go nuts. As I'm primarily using Linux now, Space Engineeers isn't played much by me these days. That and my Windows drive is near death.

Hey dude you mind if I update the mod? I have already a working private Version.

Added the out-of-date warning to the title and description. Maybe someday I might get back into Space Engineers, but til then, this mod be dead mon.

Well your the author so you should fix this don't post this crap if your gonna abandon it

doesnt work

nope sry i didn't see that comment ,very bad for that bug , your is the best Skybox ever !!

Did no one read the comment I made on May 1, 2016? I haven't attempted to fix this because I don't play Space Engineers any more. I posted the resources, so if someone wants to fix them there's no issue. What more can I do?

DX 11 FIX ,cmon m8

itsa bit broken since da last update :(

ey b0ss update broke the skybox, i think, its entirely pink if you wanna fix it or not is whateves thx much <3

There, there's all the unpacked resource files for my mods. Knock yourselves out.

I've since uninstalled Space Engineers as each update was making the game worse and worse, especially for multiplayer. If you guys want to try fixing my mods, though, feel free.

@Star-X your good at making mods right? can you possibly makew a star fox blaster mod, that shoots the green arwing lasers, and when you hold fire button, it charges laser like in star fox, and homes in on other players, like a lock on?

Might be a coule months late, Mr. Star, but have you looked in the appdata windows folder yet?

Somewhere in there is where all the downloaded Space Engineers mods are located.

Honestly I have no idea where to get started to fix this, so if anyone wants to fix it, be my guest.

Dumb question, but are the resource files accessible through any means from workshop downloads? If not, I'll see about uploading them to my Google Drive and linking them for anyone to use.

I think something broke your skybox in the last update or 2. Its now a blank, black screen. Was my fave for building. Thanks man.

They either got banned or took it down themselves. They didnt just republish your work was others as well.

@The Witch: That's honestly fine as I honestly am just happy people are enjoying my work. I haven't touched Space Engineers in a long while, and seeing people making mods of my mods is actually a nice feeling, so if anyone wants to do just that, feel free :)

lol

This will be an odd one to use when planets comes out. A planet within a planet's atmosphere lol

There was a DX11 - update for skyboxes. Skyboxes can now be used with DX11 so can you please try to do it now? Thanks.

TeeHeeTummyTums What you have to do is Subscibe to the skybox you want to use,then select the world you want to play on,then you go to "Edit settings" and it will be in the "Mods" Folder.

how does one use a skybox?
I looked it up but I'm to stupid to go through files and the sort, isn't there an eaiser way?

to be honest
I'm still useing DX9
well, I'm late...

Ugh, SE is updating so fast I just don't have time for updating stuff AND playing games. Also, it doesn't help that I have no idea how to update for DX11. I honestly give permission for anyone who cares to update this thing for the latest version.

I can finally use this beautiful skybox now that station rotation is possible. Any plans on making a DX11 version?

do a barrel roll

Same, but with 1000 m/s speed limit: http://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=308591803

Good example for a game changing user content in videogames. I dont know, but with this skybox i started building atmpspheric fighter jets and Oblivion like cloud platforms. For a time, i wasnt a space engineer anymore, i was a fighter pilot.
Thanks for that skybox dude (or dudette), it was amazing :D.

It was made like 10 or 20 revisions ago. I'll see about updating it eventually. Fact is Space Engineers has been on my backburner for months, so I just haven't had time to go and get everything up to date with regards to my mods.

That being said I'm surprised that this mod stopped working. I wonder if they implemented that directory fix that makes extentions for DDS textures mandatory. AFAIK that's the only thing that could break such an otherwise-simple mod.

It not working for me, it says mod loading failed. :(

Someone actualy make a sky.

cuz you need to add the mod to a map of yours and then it downloads

I dont get it. I subscribe this but it dont download anything. WHY ?

There are three different faces thus, there are three different solutions. Two of which are rotating it by 45 degrees in either direction. The third solution is a 90 degree rotation “Over the top”. I have no clue what this means in ways of rotation, for the sky box, but because one surface is perpendicular to the ground you should be able to find a 90 degree rotation the will fix it.

Here's how to rotate it: Go into space engine again (I assume you took the skybox screenshot yourself. space engine has that function), and just take it under a different angle than you took before.

There are 6 textures that when put together form an inside-out cube. The issue is, if I rotate one of them 45 degrees, it'll create a giant hole and increase the size of the texture to fit it as a diamond shape. Image editing programs can easily fill in the blanks with enough knowledge of the program, but getting said blanks to SYNC together to form the inside-out cube is another mattter entirely. I don't think it's even remotely possible, short of being a photoshop deity, of which I am not.

Sorry, but that temp solution will have to likely be the only one for now, short of figuring out how to "straighten" the skybox from within Space Engine. ATM I don't know how to do that, so hopefully someone does figure out how to do that and posts a tutorial.

I'm slightly unsure of how skyboxes work, but I figured they were a flatpack texture file that forms a cube. I suppose it's a big ask but I imagined it would be possible to do.

The base solution you've offered would work fine if not for the certain stabilities I was looking for that come with stations over ships :) Nevertheless cheers :D

I'm terribly sorry, but tbh I have no idea how to rotate a skybox 45 degrees. Right angle-based, no problem, but rotating it 45 degrees is likely almost impossible due to how the "gaps" formed from rotating an image a not-multiple-of-90 number of degrees are likely impossible to make look decent.

Since that's currently impossible AFAIK, here's a temporary solution: Assuming the station isn't attached to an asteroid, attach thrusters and gyroscopes to it and turn it into a large ship. You'll then be able to manually rotate it to the exact right angle. Incidentally this is how I made my starbase in my Earthlike Planet Atmospheric Skybox (the other one, over a high orbit of the planet) be aligned perfectly; I simply made it a large ship and rotated it to the correct angle.

Yeah I agree with Cody Names. Is there any way you could rotate the skybox through 45 degrees in one direction (Not sure which) so that stations can sit flat above the surface. Would look great for airship bases and stuff.

This is an amazing sky box, but it doesn’t cooperate with stations. All of the faces of a station are ether 45 degrees off of the horizon or 90 degrees for the front face. If you are able to rotate the sky box 45 (on the axes of the sun) that would fix the problem. Thanks for such a great sky box.
PS: I just uploaded three screen shots of a station with this sky box if I once again failed at explaining.

I'll definitely be using this. :)
