How to add a constuctions from gtkradiant to the skybox?

[Langerd]

I always wondered how to make city in skybox. I remember that the courscant map in single player have a buildings in skybox. How to make it D:?

A box off some where in the void with geo in it. Place a misc_skyportal in that box.

But this will work on the all skyboxes in my map? I want to use a several skyboxes

[eezstreet]

Yes.

[Langerd]

Dammit ... There is no way to change it right? :/

You might be able to play around with area portals/other VIS-related methods to hide the buildings in the skyboxes where they shouldn't be seen. I've been able to hide geometry in neighbouring skyboxes using (untargetted) area portals before, but it wasn't without some experimentation.

Hmm i have an idea wchich may work. I will make a map (single map) With the four boxes. One skybox will be a coruscant second will be the mygetto third tatooine and the last one will be a korriban. Coruscant will have small bulidngs and other planets a mountains. I will put in the one box this

misc_skyportal

And i will use this method

and i will just make a shader file with terrain and bulidings.

Hmm i dont understand it much sry D: I am little noobish in mapping

Yeah, try what you said first. If pictures of the buildings is good enough, that's a more frame-friendly alternative than actual geometry in the distance.

 

In any case, area portals block geometry behind them from being drawn by the engine.

Thanks for help ^^
