In Unity, create an asset bundle with the required skyboxes and stick it into the /<mod_name>/Resources folder of your mod.
- Add +<elevation>,<azimuth> (replacing <elevation> and <azimuth> with the appropriate numbers) to the end of the skybox file name to set the sun angle.

- You may need to look up how to put things into asset bundles in Unity.
Follow the instructions on how to add asset bundles to your mod.[wiki.spiderlinggames.co.uk]
In Visual Studio, open your mod project file (in the /src folder of your mod).
Add ObjectExplorer.dll to your solution's references.
- You can find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\346010\1566687579\ObjectExplorer.
- You may need to look up how to add resources to a project.
Open Mod.cs.
Replace the contents of this file with
using Modding; namespace <namespace> public class Mod : ModEntryPoint { public override void OnLoad() { SkyboxController.LoadSkyboxes(ModResource.GetAssetBundle("<bundle name>")); } } }
- Replace <namespace> with something unique.
- Replace <bundle name> with whatever you called the asset bundle in the manifest.
Compile the assembly with F6.

Your skyboxes should now be available in Object Explorer.
