Works as a charm! Thanks a lot :D

Yes its possible with all kind of textures ;)

Oh, that's amazing!! Now I can use your awesome skybox everywhere haha! Thanks man!
I wonder if its possible to do this with planets that are replacements as well.
Cheers!

Yeah there is a way.... I use it also in this way:
Extract the 355768668.sbm(may download this file http://steamworkshopdownloader.com/view/355768668 ) with 7zip (or liking zip tool) and copy the 'Textures\BackgroundCube\Final\BackgroundCube.dds' into ...steam..common\SpaceEngineers\Content\Textures\BackgroundCube\Final (overwirte the file).

To restore the original just "repair" you local files.

Hello,

Is there a way to make this the default skybox? I play in a server which uses the default skybox, so, I was wondering if its possible to replace the stock one on my game files with yours.
Thanks in advance!

This doesn't seem to work for me anymore

All game modification inclusive light removed (Keen adjusted the light in last patch).
But for Simulation Fans exsists also now a "real light version". Check it out: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=526499176

Skybox updated. Description now also in German available.

I second JJSheridan's comment- I would love to have JUST the skybox. I have other mods doing (different) changes to the same things you're doing.

Far better to have multiple smaller mods, instead of one doing several jobs - for exactly this reason.

Okay i am not trying to be a jerk but please remove the camera overlay turret overlay and speed as we got other mods for that and please just upload a new mod with the DX11 as we don't want to go around downloading files from dropbox we just want a workshop mod....

remove speed please !!!

dude, the skybox isue on dx 11 is now fixed !!

black skybox i have an gtx 670

Would it be possible to get this as just the skybox itself, since I really like the background but not the gameplay modifications?

I made a modified version of this and named it "Wolfbrigade (MK-2).
If you want me to add you to the people that made it since all I did was alter the data file then add me to your freinds list.

Did you checked, that the extracted file has enought filesystem rights? Maybe windows block the access if the game run with Windows UAC.
Maybe run the game as "Administrator" and see if it will stay black or not.

Does not work for me either. Just Black.....

Mhh...I have no idea why it will not work. Just extra the content of the ZIP file into the local space engineers program directory adn thats it. Also if you don't use any mod, it will replace the skybix texture in DX11 mode.
The texture is real high resolution. Maybe you have not eneught space in the graphic card memory. Try to use medium or low settings for texture.

Does not work for me either. Just Black.....

WoW. I did download the DX11 file and installed it like in the description. Now the whole background is black. What did i wrong?

Looks like a really good skybox but remove the speed bit and it'll be good.
I really hate when people release a skybox only to mess it up with a speed mod.

Any chance you making a skybox only version?

seems like a very good skybox, but the speed upgrade seems way to low.

No stars as well :(

@Gandur Huh, okay. I guess that was a wasted evening then, but there are worse fates (plus if I ever decide to make a block mod the stuff I learned might help).
Thanks for the info! Now to just wait for them to make steam skybox mods actually work with DX11 then and I can update my server's Skybox =D

Cheers!

@geekus: Fun fact. The skybox is in DX9 and DX11 the same format. Also keen used teh same texture in both.
The hugh HDR in SE make the gama balancing for the DX11 skybox image difficult.

How did you manage to convert your textures without the size inflating to rediculous proportions?

I've been trying to use the texture converter Keen provided but it seems to refuse to compress the images with an error saying "The parameter is incorrect".

Yea it's broke on dx11 no matter what it says.

I was wondering if its just blended, so I ve looked around to see something colorful like stars, etc, but all pitch black except the asteroids.

nope its empty

DX11 should use strong HDR effect (I hope Keen reduce it as next a bit).

If you looking to an white roof top, the stars will maybe blend out....but lates if you look into an empty sky you should see somethings...

i have same problem, black background how to fix it? very nice light !

Hi there, nice looking mod. Unfortunately it doesnt work for me.I dropped that dds-file of your download into the proper folder and overwrote it. My skybox will be black only with a pale sun. :(...hm really wonder what i ve done wrong...

DX11 delivered.... have fun :)

Yeah, I'm on it. But seems like, that for DX11 the texture in the Environment.sbc will be ignored. I found still a way for DX11 skyboxes, with copy the texture direct in game directory. If I not find a "normal" way, I'll provide the texture as download in the next days...

You need to fix this up for DX11 as this is the best skybox and i can't do without it.

This skybox is briliant... but if you have enough time please, make it with some red nebula. :P

:) No you are not blind :D ....the 2nd screenshot is from the old texture before I found the HiRes Real Stars by the NASA. But I let it, because the lighting is good to see here.

Meaby i'm blind, but where is this red nebula in skybox?

I personally really like the lighting, with the default skybox i find everything relatively well lit, and rarely used lights, but with this one I have to have it lit up or i cant get around without my headlamps, wich is both a fun aspect that creates more immersion for me, as well as allows me to make areas spooky and abandoned feeling by throttling back light sources

I like the skybox, but it can use some extra light . . . can you have two light sources or more?

In my opinon this skybox is too dark. There is not enough ambient light. Thank you anyway.

cool
