general information

skybox ONSKafternoon

• The xml code on this page is based on onisplit v0.9.61.0
• ONSK*.oni files are global. (They can be found in AE/AEInstaller/vanilla/level0_Final.dat)
• The skybox is just a cube drawn using the skybox textures. The bottom face of the cube is never used/drawn.
• There are 4 original ONSK files:
  • afternoon (level 1)
  • sunset (level 2 and 3)
  • crapsky (level 19)
  • night (all the other levels except level 13, which has no ONSK)

<SkyboxTextures>	-	Holds 6 <Link> tags. 6th tag isn't used. Image order: top left right front back (no) bottom To put it short: of the sky box file, only <SkyboxTextures> and its 5 active links are of actual use, hopefully soon this includes also the <SunFlare> tag.
<Link>	link	TXMPfile_name.oni (file suffix .oni not used)
<Planets>	-	Holds 8 <Link> tags. The planets can be displayed using the specified textures, sizes and positions. Unfortunately there is a bug and they're no occluded by anything.

future fixes?

Hopefully we will have a public release of the skybox fixes one day.

Plugin fixes the skybox borders and sun's visibility.
