We've made these bud - Jimbomcb did them. I'll get him to post them up : we needed them for our KOTH_SUITE community map project - the maps docks has 2 types of Skybox models, a tiny file size and a almost tiny file size Oh, and we've made Mann & Co Skybox containers too that Boylee did the skins for

here they are

Boylee also did a Mann & Co skin - I'm checking with Jim that he included it. If not, no doubt Boylee can upload it.

users should be aware that skybox models (and anything in the 3dskybox for that matter) have no physics in game, and rockets (and other projectiles) will appear to pass right through them. This can look odd ingame.

It's a sensible technique to place some regular models in the fore ground to take potential missed rockets and grenades. This helps people from going "ooooh, that's in the 3dskybox", which breaks immersion.

I only say this because i can see people going crazy happy with these new 3dskybox models. and bringing the 3dskybox right up to the map boundaries. This might be ok in some instances, but it does lead to the issue mentioned above. Just something to bare in mind when constructing your map and considering the 3dskybox.

Hey, would it be possible for you to make a skybox version of the metal girders on the train bridge? It's in badlands and viaduct. The model path is models/props_badlands/center_bridge01.mdl. Many thanks if you can!

 

[SiniStarR]

Im happy to announce V1.3
center_bridge01 has now been skyboxified

 

[honeymustard]

Wow, thanks a lot man! That was really quick.

 

[Ezekel]

any chance you could redo the pine tree clusters so they can use the snow skin on them?
(like the their non-skybox equivalents)

 

[SiniStarR]

sure i can do that, just not anytime soon considering the time of the year

 

[Ezekel]

sure i can do that, just not anytime soon considering the time of the year

cool, but dang...
i'll look forward to it though

 

[Boylee]

You know what would be absolutely positively fantastic?
If you could put together a tutorial on how to do this then we could all contribute and do this collaboratively rather than pestering you for stuff all the time. Just a thought...

 

[SiniStarR]

Surprise! I did it anyway! I'm happy to introduce 1.4!
The cluster pine trees now have their snowy textures!
------------------------------------
@BoyLee: Ill consider making one but it would take a LONG time since there are a TON of minor steps. I do this mainly for myself though. I like the extra practice when working with compiling and decompiling source models, and I really enjoy it to. So in a way i'm not being pestered.

 

[Boylee]

That's fair play SiniStarR, you're doing us all a favour anyway so keep up the good work

Any chance we can have skybox versions of the rocket launchpad models please?
To be more specific, these ones:

props_granary/rocket_launchpad1.mdl
props_granary/rocket_launchpad2.mdl
props_granary/rocket_launchpad3.mdl

Edit: ooh also a skybox version of the BLU version of this model would be useful too, as there only seems to be a red one at the moment.

props_spytech\rocket003.mdl

Thanks in advance :thumbup1:

 

[SiniStarR]

ill work on it soon.

 

[SiniStarR]

i am working on these, for some reason the skin families are giving me issues :|

 

[Boylee]

Just realised I got the request wrong above, I meant to ask for a blue version of props_spytech/rocket002_skybox.mdl, however in retrospect what I actually need is a skybox version of props_spytech/rocket003.mdl since the curent skybox version is only the top half of the rocket (doesn't have the thrusters and the lower portion).

So scratch the last request, would you mind doing a skybox version of props_spytech/rocket003.mdl please?

 

[SiniStarR]

i will. ive had alot of irl stuff to worry about and mappers block hasnt been helping either. Ill get them done though just give me time ><

 

[Boylee]

No worries dude, obviously real life stuff takes precedence. I was just clarifying really because I realised my first request was wrong.

 

[honeymustard]

I don't know if you're still doing these - but I could really use a skybox version of the shipping container from Granary, with both the blu/red skins. Thanks!
