Custom Skybox Struggles
Hey I've been trying to get my Custom Skybox working so I can post it to the workshop and then my friend group can use it on our new multiplayer server. I've managed to get the game to load a skybox but it always comes out looking massively pixelated with very strange artefacting. I'm not sure if I'm saving it with the settings slightly wrong or if I'm missing a step in the file tinkering but after spending a few days trying to figure it out, I'm at a lost! any help would be amazing!

I don't make skyboxes so I may be all wrong here.

What are you using for a skybox image? It needs to be in a kind of + shape, and most troubles with skybox are not using that shape or using resolutions that work with the game.

Did the stuff in the guide?

Yeah so I've made the DDS file. (the image is a little janky because I chopped it up weird just to test) but Its in the correct shape file size resolution and format. As to that guide I think it is outdated because that Space Engine link doesn't lead anywhere XD

I made a simple demo that works which you can look at to see how very simple it is - apart from creating the image, which is the hard part :)

That subtle change the the skybox looks really cool! @rox. I have got an image of the correct size and resolution that's ready and waiting to be Skybox'd it just keeps coming out wrong when I load it into game for some reason.
