[SOLVED] adding skyboxes to menu

Post by chocolatepie33 »

just wondering, how would I add skyboxes to the skybox menu (F4)? I found quite a few online (the site of skiingpenguins, who made a few of the ones we already have, and some other ones from Quadropolis), and I managed to add the new skiingpenguins one. However, I can't add the ones from other people. Here's the code:

Code: Select all

//All the aliases that'll be used throughout

clamp = [alias $arg1 (max $arg2 (min $arg3 $$arg1))]		//clamp (alias) (min) (max)		- for integers
clampf = [alias $arg1 (maxf $arg2 (minf $arg3 $$arg1))]	//clamp (alias) (min) (max)		- for floats

loopix = "daysky"
skyboxes = "black dark desert dunes green hill nice"
amethyst7 = "starfield"
mayhem = "afterrain aqua4 aqua9 grouse prehistoric shattered trough"
penguins = "barren divine wrath arid arid2 arid3 battery blizzard cocoa flames forge desertdawn"
vegastrike = "blue emerald fiery_galaxy mustard somered"
ssky = "bloodynight downworld river-c scottstorm snowalps toxic"

cloudboxen = "moon kenon_cloudbox" //hehe... cloudboxen :D
numcloudlayers = 5
This is from data/menus.cfg. Like said, the penguins skyboxes added, but the ssky ones didn't. Is there something else I need to change?

EDIT: before I forget, if anyone asks, the skiingpenguin skyboxes that I got were licensed CC-BY-SA. I know that some of his on Quad are released under a CC-ND-NC-BY or something like that, so I just wanted to mention the other part before I forgot. I can't find his site again, but here's a Quad link to one of his creations: http://www.quadropolis.us/node/2664

EDIT2: thinking about this a little more, I'm wondering: is it possible to have some sort of filebrowser within Sandbox? I know we have the text/cfg editor (F6), so would we be able to have filebrowsing as well?

Well... considering I can't delete this anymore, I'm gonna ask that this be closed. I figured it out, all on my own. And I'm not sharing how I did it. Not even if you ask me.

Okay, okay, I'll tell all of you. But only if you really need to know. (Not to mention Hirato will likely just tell you anyways). Like said, just ask. Goodnight.
