Funbox - Wait no, I meant Skybox

Heh. He(She?) makes the E2 boss look like a little wimp!
What weird things can you get out of your skyboxes? Please share!

To be honest I can't completely tell what's going on in that screenshot. You (or whoever made the map) decided that it would be best to put all three skies together?

[doom2day]

I spawned a cyberdemon in the skybox. It looks funny and Godzilla like.

Done it before...not that hard (Its for ZDoom if anyone hasnt noticed yet)

I used ACS to make two teams of colored Cybers in a skybox and put the player in a small room with a water floor and horizon lines. Then the cybers went at it and then it was over...booo-riinng

[printz]

Put a hateful Mastermind there to keep him company, and have both of them respawn forever and hate each other forever.

[Mithral_Demon]

It's boring as hell...I'd rather have in front of me and leave the skybox alone...

[Negatronica]

One thing that I tried with skyboxes was to make decorate based cloud entities and place them in the skybox. They have a really slow speed and just follow a circular path within the skybox.

Even though it's a good start, but ffs, that sky is horrid, I'd never want to see that in Doom unless its in a JokeWad or something. x_X

[farhaven]

the flowers however look nice

may i steal that idea for my own wads? :D

LWM did a nice example skybox with birds flying overhead.

Of course, Gooberman's moving skybox camera to simulate flying into a space station was very impressive.

[Steeveeo]

was he the first?

Because I've seen the "Flying" effect in various wads (namely, Super Sonic Doom).

[deathbringer]

I once made a godzilla cyberdemon in Legacy back when it had skyboxes, that was funny. I wanted to use scripting to kill it at a certian point, like the player was "lauching the missiles" to kill the super cybie. But there was never a version with both scripting and skyboxes

You mean Gooberman? His example WAD has a text file date of 15 December 2001. I don't know how that compares to other uses of a skybox for flying. Pretty sure it's the first one I saw.

Hah, I used to do stuff like that in Unreal Tournament. Put in "ghost" in console to noclip, fly to skybox, put in "freeze" (Or something similar) and fire every weapon I had. :P

Yeah, you can use the resources too if you want. I can put together a bunch of decorate based trees and vegetation that I've been working on over the years.

That screenshot of mine was from a jokewad, but the level was never finished.

Nice clouds Shtbag667. First thing I thought when I saw that screen was teletubbies. :p

I have the shotgun to take care of doom2day's giant Cyb, which appeared due to some weirdo bug in Doomsday quite awhile ago (has nothing to do with skyboxes but I couldn't help but post it). It freaked me out when I looked out the window and this huge thing was rotating.....



As for skyboxes I got to start making those things myself.

Heh does Doomsday have the same gun models as Risen3D?

Risen is based off of Doomsday isn't it.

[SulfurOccult]

those models were originally an optional pack for Doomsday made by Abbs, who if I remember right is the dude behind Risen3D.

anyway, those clouds seems like a cool idea but the blue background in that screenshot looks really bad.

Yeah I know but I got confused here I never seen or used these weapon models in Doomsday.

[doom2day]

It all makes sense! The furniture is too big! The 'enormous' shotgun! The cybergodzillademon! The doomguy spent too much time walking through nukage and shrunk! I figured it out finally!

I liked tormentor667's cave skybox in TNTLE... it really looked like a cavern
