Thank you for making this! Was really useful for a cinematic for my op.

Hey man! :) Is there a mod with normal skies? Instead of space ones? That would be awesome! :)

@MADRAT

In the mod tab in the Arma 3 Launcher, make sure that the mod titled "Space Skyboxes" has the checkbox ticked.

@Tech

Not in the mod currently, though they have been set-up using hidden selections. So you could create a black one using a mod or script

Is there a version of this that is just black? I wanted to use it for the interior of a hive city to simulate being deep in the depths of one.

Wow

Shame these aren't big enough to put over an entire map.

hi man, really nice prop. Do you have in planning to make them spherical to avoid the connection line in the corner? sometimes is really easy to spot them and can ruin the illusion of being in space. If its possible to have them as sphere would be awesome. Thx

Nope -- should have a BISIGN file in with the PBO file

@Will.KMJ

I have signed the PBO. This is my first time doing it, so I am not sure that it is done correctly.
KJW 2 Oct, 2021 @ 10:22am 
Could we please get this mod signed? Only mod in my unit's modpack that isn't signed, and would hate to have to remove it!

Mod has been updated fixing the skyboxes not appearing when placed. I messed something up when removing the structures_f' error.
SkytechCEO 8 Jul, 2021 @ 4:58pm 
Getting a weird error stating that there's a missing .paa for "Blue Nebula".

It appears this may also be causing the aforementioned issue that TheKillian is experiencing as well.

Awesome now there's no error at launch, perfect !

But I don't see the skybox even with the ScaleObject command, do you see them when you place it? I don't see any square of any picture of the galaxy even spawning with someone as player ?

Hello. I have updated the mod and fixed the required addons error. Sorry that it was giving you issues with your server.
[1er R.C.C] TheKillian 6 Jul, 2021 @ 8:07am 
Hello you mod seem very nice but broken somehow by :

"Addon 'SoxesProps' requires addon 'structures_f'"

Can you please fix it? I just launch your mod+CBA_A3 and we can't launch dedicated server cause of this error.

Tried to reinstall it/Re-download it by workshop, even in singleplayer I get th eissue starting game+mods.
I wanna use it for Star Wars/Warhammer Mission and credit you !
TheGhosT29 25 Jun, 2021 @ 11:46am 
you can make a sky like this?
Raige Jamart 16 Jun, 2021 @ 9:07am 
It would be interesting to be able to increase in size to be able to occupy the sky of the entire map.
Sox  [author] 8 Jun, 2021 @ 4:48am 
@88Mike

You can change the height of the skybox object in Eden editor to have the floor not visible. Here is a tutorial on the Eden editor basic controls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTW5zF-uctE

You can move the composition until the floor level is just under 100 meters without having the skydiving animation happen.

If that does not work, you can change the scale (_this setObjectScale 0.5;) of the skybox if the size of your composition size allows for it.

If none of those solutions work, you may just have to have your composition in the lower half of the skybox.
88Mike 6 Jun, 2021 @ 8:58pm 
What about a floor? If say, I use the VR map, you can still see the grey grid. Any suggestions? Am I placing the object incorrectly? Really cool mod!
Predator14 4 Jun, 2021 @ 9:38am 
awesome guy! comment enlarge and change the texture to put mountains in the background ???
Sox  [author] 4 Jun, 2021 @ 5:46am 
@Exocet

If you place your composition directly in the center of the skybox you will have more luck with it not visually disappearing.

Depending on the size of your composition, this will solve the issue completely.

Here is a test that I have done with the object placed in the center of the composition https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70_U2V0jJEU

I think that it is just a limitation of Arma and not something that I can fix.
Exocet 3 Jun, 2021 @ 9:22pm 
Bro is it possible to use this for gameplay? i tried and it kinda worked but the skybox disappear when i look at certain things
Nightle 3 Jun, 2021 @ 2:46pm 
Oh...thank you so much!
Sox  [author] 3 Jun, 2021 @ 2:42pm 
@Nightle

_this setObjectScale 1.5;

If you put that into the init of the object it should change the size of the box with the number being a multiplier of the size.
Exocet 3 Jun, 2021 @ 12:56pm 
epicnesssss
Nightle 3 Jun, 2021 @ 11:08am 
How can i make it bigger?
Maybe some mod can help me?
Christian 1 Jun, 2021 @ 5:11am 
is there the regular red sky box?

I loved this! Now I can play Arma 3 in space! I think I'll try and get my squadron commander to add this to our modpack
MADRAT 27 May, 2021 @ 2:32pm 
ok fine that i know, but how can i place a character or an aircraft in it ?
Sox  [author] 27 May, 2021 @ 2:05pm 
@MADRAT It is a large cube object that you can place in Zeus or Eden editor. It is made to give sci-fi compositions the look that they are in space.
MADRAT 27 May, 2021 @ 1:58pm 
how does it work ?
