Description
Have you ever played TF2 and wondered "oh gee, this game sure could do with being approximately 74MB less big!" then look no further!

With this handy community fix [patent pending] you could find yourself over 70MB richer!

Utilising cutting-edge technology (deleting the mipmaps), this fix removes the unused mipmaps that skyboxes have. TF2 skyboxes do not use mipmaps and their .vtf flags do not allow them to be used. However, the VTEX import tool is bugged and so mipmaps are generated regardless.

This fix culls the needless mipmaps while preserving visual quality of the skybox.
