The two commands useful in loading a skybox is /skybox, and /spinsky. /loadsky was removed and turned into an alias. the change allowed /skybox to echo the current skybox
To even consider loading a skybox. there have to be _dn, _up, _ft, _rt, _lf and _bk versions of it. those are down, up, front, right, left and back
an example of such a command is /skybox skyboxes/dunes
Just search the wiki before asking
By the way, will you share them with the community?

thank you. Im not sure if i can upload them due to my slow speed on dial up. What you can do though, get an earlier version of PAS (i got mine from 2.0) and open up the packages file, open the skybox folder and there are like 5 skyboxes that for some reason werent kept for the newer ones.

Oldest downloadable version of Sandbox is 2.2.4
Maybe they were taken out, because of license - issues?
And they shouldn't be very big. I have a complete skybox-set with a resultion of 1024x1024 pixel, which is uncompressed only 638,5 kb big.

sorry, the version im thinking of is the Master Chef ogre add on. It has the skybox folder filled with a few more skyboxes. The skyboxes are a little pixely though

that's probably because they're small size and low-res.
