Alright, so I'm trying to create a skybox but whenever I load it up in-game, it ends up looking like this;

Spoiler!

honestly that may even work as a skybox.. like being in a hollow void or something


with that said which skybox did you use to make this

Spoiler!

Arredoval, you are a blessing.

Whatever skybox I upload is going to have a unique name to avoid confusing it with other files while you put it over whichever skybox you want. The directory is right there for anyone to see and use.
Besides, if I "kept" its filename, it would be either 92f07ef1e2057e152a893e50aa490d5d for which skybox is loaded during ep1 cutscenes, or db1e5f56834faa830c18a9971ae7ba6b for what its original filename was. db1e etc. exists in the current client, but it's been gutted and doesn't function as-is.



The skybox and its lighting are directly from a pre-ep3 client, so it was never meant to be viewed in t6 settings. If you want different lighting, you can just replace it. There's hundreds of different lighting files you could transplant.

Yeah, the new graphics system reason makes sense, I've thought about doing some lighting transplantation, a night city shopping area would be nice.

As for the filename issue, it just makes things difficult for those without the knowledge and was just hoping to save you from people going "I put it in the directory/installed it with x installer, but nothing happened". Maybe just add an explination of what filenames to use to install it for the most basic use (changing the current lobby)

thank you good sire

Disregard what I said about transplanting lighting into that particular skybox. Something about open beta's model format doesn't repack properly with the tools we have. It will crash. Someone who's familiar with the model conversion (I still haven't messed with it) can try shuffling things about to see if they can get it to work. Until then, we're stuck with that lighting.

Hmm, that's strange, but then the tools for unpacking/repacking still have various problems and haven't been updated in some time.

Oh well, for now I'll have to put up with daytime Sachiko concerts :P

What exactly are you trying to do, and what are you doing to try to achieve it?
You're also mixing two different tools built by two different groups, so one of them is bound to get confused.

In all honesty, I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing. I tried following your instructions but it doesn't help that I'm not good with learning things through written texts. It'd be much easier if there was a visual guide somewhere on how to create custom skyboxes. I'll keep trying.

Tell me what you're trying to make happen and I might be able to help. I can record it if needed.

I'm using Aquatic Team Room's skybox (a78933e49ceee3e0f0f4767a9bafc43a) as a base. What I wanted to do was replace the mountains (sk_0310_groud002_d) with that of the mountains from Kuronia (b6d681777df24ede0bf19424e486ab3d, sn_0720_groud002_d). I'd like to remove the fog effect from the Aquatic Team Room, and add the water and lighting from Ultimate Ruins. Is it possible to do something like that?

The same all-black background happened once a some time ago when I wanted to create a Night Sky Tokyo skybox, and I'm not sure what I did wrong.

Is it possible to convert costumes to layered wear and vice versa?

Is it possible to convert costumes to layered wear and vice versa?

So far, it has not proven well. Arredoval had already made an attempt and it went..poorly to say the least.

[Zanverse]

Ult Ruins with Kuronia mountains (settling for only one layer of much taller mountains and no specular layer)

Spoiler!

This one was what I was aiming for!
