[ANY] Random Skybox

I would like to have a skybox plugin that displays a new skybox every round.
and the plugin should load all files from the materials/skybox folder.
So that you only enter the name of the skybox in the cfg and not all the files individually.

Just one question: can the skybox rotate in the game?
Would that be possible somehow?

Greeting Painkiller

Re: [ANY] Random Skybox

That is not what I want.

I want a different skybox to come automatically for all clients after each mapchange.

In this plugin he writes
"Allows clients to change their skybox".

Re: [ANY] Random Skybox

You want something ready to use.
You should try messing a little with the plugin linked, probably with few lines can achieve what you want.

Re: [ANY] Random Skybox

If I were a sourcemod scripter I could.
That's why I made a request here.

Re: [ANY] Random Skybox

I tested only in the insurgency game. You have to add sky name for a game you want yourself. Add/remove sky names under "char ga_sSkyName[][] = {" no scripting knowledge required. You can get sky names from here https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Sky_List

Admin commands:
sm_randomskysetting - Print default & current sky setting for this map
sm_randomskyrandom - Set sky to new random
sm_randomskydefault - Set sky to default setting
Setting:
The plugin will make randomsky.cfg.
sm_randomsky - 0.0 = disable | 1.0 = on map start | 2.0 = on round start

Re: [ANY] Random Skybox

Hello,
cool, thank you.

So just tested I have seen that in the plugin no materials / skybox for the download.
But apparently it doesn't work, the skies are all washed out.

I want to use it with these: https://gamebanana.com/mods/cats/561

Example:

Code:

# Path to the '../hl2dm/materials/skybox/' folder.

SKYBOX_PATH = GAME_PATH / 'materials' / 'skybox'



downloads = Downloadables()

# Go through all the skybox names.

for skybox in skyboxes:

    # Find all the necessary files for this skybox.

    for file in SKYBOX_PATH.files(f'{skybox}*'):

        base_name = file.basename()



        # Exclude the file if it's compressed.

        if base_name.endswith('.ztmp'):

            continue



        # Make sure the players download the file when connecting.

        downloads.add(f'materials/skybox/{base_name}')

Edit: I have since added it to my download_adder from eventscripts.

But maybe it's still possible for you that the plugin of yours can do that on its own.
Great work thank you

That's great, thank you very much, it works perfectly.

Is there a possibility that you could make another plugin I don't know how far your skills go.
But I think it would not be that easy.
Unfortunately, we can't write to you privately.
