UPDATE: THIS PROGRAM WILL NO LONGER RECEIVE UPDATES IT HAS BE REPLACED BY THIS PLEASE REFER TO THAT THREAD FOR UPDATES! I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS IN THIS POST!
Description
I have Delay this release a little trying to work out all the bugs and trying to make it perfect and i am happy with its current state. So i give you Sky Box Editor!
About.
With this program you will be able to make works of art out of your sky's that you see every day. Or if you are not the artist you can make a simple swap. Say you love that sky in Old Hillsbrad and you want it in Westfall that can be done with this program.
A Couple Features.
1. Swap Skybox Ids
2. Change the Color of almost every aspect of the sky
3. Change all these setting based on Time of Day
4. Change Fog/water/Ocean Transparency settings
5. Change the size the skybox affects
6. PREVIEW what skybox you are changing. One of the most difficult task there is to over come if you where to edit Strait thought DBC editing
Preview Mode?
Currently i only have the maps For Kalimador/Azeroth/Outlands as i feel thats the only places you will really need to see what skybox is what. If you feel that UI should add other maps just ask and i just might take the time to do so if i feel that i overlooked it.
Omg So many Colors SO many Options!
I'm working on updating this thread with a guide. So come back soon for now i will let you experiment with this.
Basic Controls.
Preview Mode: When you click on a skybox in a map that supports preview it will show it to you on the right hand side of the App
Saving: Go to the bottom of the App Select the folder you wish to save to and click "Save" a "Patch-A.mpq" will be created alone with some other files. These files are just there in case you wish to edit your sky another time you can reselect the folder in the program and it will edit these files
Opening Saved Skies:If You have Saved a Sky before it will have saved files alone with the patch. Click on the Open Folder button at the top and navigate to the folder that holds those files and click on the Load Files Button
