[TSL] Modifying the Skyboxes in the Ebon Hawk

[90SK 165]

Hello DS.

I am beginning to overhaul the skyboxes in the Ebon Hawk viewable out the windows in the cockpit. I was curious how this mechanism of switching between skyboxes works? I see there are three images in the ebon hawk textures, two of them are divided into four, the other one is for M4-78. 

Right now I'm testing changes to these ebo_sky files in my modded Ebon Hawk. If anyone can shed some light on this subject in the meantime, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

The galaxymap script changes the room model animation to play which swaps between different skybox models which show those textures.

k_inc_hawk.nss

Spoiler

void SetBackground()
{
    //string sRoom = GetScriptStringParameter();
    string sRoom = "003EBOq";
    int nRoomAnimation = GetGlobalNumber("003EBO_BACKGROUND");

    switch(nRoomAnimation)
    {
        case 0://106PER
        {
            nRoomAnimation = ANIMATION_ROOM_SCRIPTLOOP01;//PERAGUS
        }break;

etc

The model "003EBOq" contains these room animations.

Thanks for your reply! This is good information, I have found the info in k_inc_hawk.nss as you described.

Wonderful! I will begin creating the skybox images and setting them up for their corresponding planets.
