custom skyboxes

[bbk]

While helping a friend with map creation, I discovered that I enjoy creating my own skyboxes.
Feel free to use these for your own map creations.


1. orange - an orange sunset with no terrain (49kb)


2. dusk - a mountainous terrain at dusk (164kb)


3. red - ominous red sky over water (156kb)


4. hell - a hellish sky with terrain and water (193kb)


5. phaze - a purplish sky with alien mountains, haze and fog over water (389kb)


6. night_pyramids - a partly cloudy night in a watery land of stacked pyramids with a full moon overhead (270kb)


7. night1 - a starry night with some red clouds and a crescent moon over water (180kb)

Nice, but what license are they?

They could use some packaging though.

[bbk]

Ah yes Suicizer, thanks.
I've corrected the packaging and added readme files.
I hope to add more soon.

[bbk]

Added "hell" skybox.
Also, I just want to offer to create special skyboxes for anyone who needs something specific - a special color or scheme. If interested, pm me and we can talk about it.

These are awesome, nice work bbk

[bbk]

Added phaze skybox and thanks Fatality!

Very nice work

However, please don't write permission stuff on yourself, better use a widely acknowledge license. According to your readme you are allowing commerical use too, and everything you want is credits, so CC BY 4.0 may be the right license for your skyboxes. If you should deciding to use it, you can just write something like "This skybox is licensed under the terms of CC BY 4.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/)".

Self written license alike stuff isn't acknowledged at all by all major open source organisations (like the FSF, and the Fedora and Debian project for example), so it's basically classified as non-free and prevents the usage in projects which want to be 100% open source.

[bbk]

Thanks Nooby. I've corrected the license information in the readme files.

Added 2 more skyboxes - night1_skybox and night_pyramids_skybox.
I also corrected the paths for all of these skyboxes so that they reside in: packages/skyboxes/bbk
