Adds brand new skyboxes to Anomaly! Uses skyboxes from Atmosfear, AREA, Dead Air, SWTC, SFZ Project and Dead Air Extended Graphics!
This mod was basically just me taking the best skyboxes I could find and mixing them all together. Really big thanks to Atmosfear, AREA, Dead Air, SWTC, SFZ Project and Dead Air Extended Graphics!
Note: So I finished high school and I got the IB Diploma. Gonna be going to college and I'm pre-med. So I really have no idea if I'm going to even be able to update this mod considering I haven't played Anomaly in a year or any videogames for that matter. I hope I can, I really don't know, if anyone wants to do an update, you can post it yourself or send it to me on Discord and I can update this mod plus give you credit. My discord is d_nan#1730. Have a nice day!

Update 2.1A:
- Renamed whole addon to "Skies Redux". This way I can avoid confusion.
- Remade a lot current skyboxes in this addon to be 1K resolution except Emission skyboxes, those are 2K resolution. All skyboxes in this mod are 1K resolution now!
- Used better compression to minimize artifacting.
- Added Blackgrowl, NotHere, LVutner, xcvb, sneaky, Jurkonov and HarukaSai to credits.
- Used BAIN Installer format in order to get make installation via MO2 easier.
- Renamed file from hi_guys.rar to freedom_mutants_videos.rar
- Next update, I will add a 2K resolution option and maybe a 4K resolution option but DX10 & DX11 have problems with 4K skyboxes, which is why I would appreciate it if I got some opinions.
- Little Roadmap I plan on going off for the next couple of updates: Update 2.1B - Add 2K resolution option (and 4K resolution option??); Update 2.2 - Adds some brand new skyboxes(hopefully custom made); Update 2.3 - Learn how to fix cubemaps, if applicable
Update 2.1:
- Learned how to make skyboxes will use this for next update
- Brand new emissions that are a 1000% better than the old ones
- Also no more sorry_guys.zip, it is now hi_guys.rar :)
Update 2:
- Removed unused files

well... this is Nice !!!! thx dude 10/10
oh cool does this work for dead air? aka deadass as well?
When I asking check the file structure of Dead Air, it looked slightly different from Anomaly but it is similar that with very few modifications you can have it work with Dead Air too.
The sky's look great thanks for this.
nice compilation of skyboxes
Do also changes skyboxes when an psy storm / blowout hits?
Kudos
Yea this changes skyboxes for emissions and psystorms.
awesome
hooray, a new day, a new way to make the anomaly better!

Only few folders are different from vanilla anomaly. clear,partly,rain. all anothers skyboxes are the same as vanilla.
Hmmm, they work for me tho and I haven't had anyone say it doesn't work so far. I will see if it requires any further changes tho.
I dont told that it is not works. I said there is in your pack is only three different from anomawy skyboxes types - clear,partly,rain. All another skyboxes in your mod is same as in anomawy by default.
So you can delete all except these one: I.imgur.com
Yea I removed them.
cool
Nice one, 10/10.
Is the night sky redone?
Yes since the day skies are also changed.
d_wow
Man, I was just thinking the other day how cool it would be to have SWTC skyboxes in Anomaly. Thanks for making this.
change log ?
It says that he removed unused files and that made the file size smaller.
Yea pretty much what the other guy said. I removed files that weren't being used.
100% Understandable.
Thanks for The Awesome ! Additions That You've Released so far,
All are Must Have Add-Ons. :)
Great, I noticed that the sky and clouds are passing through the textures of the trees, etc. I hope you will fix this in the future. I hope for you!
Is it possible for you to take a screenshot? Thanks for noticing this bug bro!

I did not install your modification, this problem is in the original, but maybe you can solve the problem.
That problem can be easily solved. All you gotta do is increase view distance a lot or decrease it a lot but when its around the middle, it causes that kind of weird clipping.
But I have max view distance
I asked the graphics dev, LVutner, and he said that it would require custom fog blending and skyblending. The devs themselves haven't been able to do it since GSC World changed their engine skyboxes working so much and this type of skyblending would require a lot of work, most of which I dont know how to do. So sorry, I cant really fix it tho LV said he might try and fix it.
Oh, thank you for your efforts)
So this is a problem with vanilla skyboxes as well, right?
Yeah - I think it's to do with farplane or something similar - ie. in the weathers configs. May be fixable but would mean edits to hourly configs in pretty much all the weather types configs.
Hello again, it seems that the bug was not noticed, it was just fog, and it was with the original clouds, if I notice anything else, I will definitely inform you)
Hopefully this fixes the horrible banding of the original ones
I haven't seen any color banding myself nor have I had any reports of this, so I don't think there is any color banding. Please enjoy though.
Thanks, pretty good stuff! I was wondering if it would be possible to have an animated sky, I started looking into it but need to learn more first!
I have no idea whether or not that is possible but I wish you the best of luck and if I can help you in any way, then feel free to dm me.
Any fps hit when using this?
Nope! Not at all. It has the same performance as vanilla skyboxes while looking better than vanilla skyboxes.
Thank you!
vardy nice
Thank you!
Let's get d_nan'ed
XD
do you need to restart the game for this
Nope, no need to make a new game.
I used this all the time in 1.5.0. Thanks, mate!
Hi Devnnda8, lovely compilation, an addon I've been using for a while! (I do love a good skybox here and there)
Your new "Sorry_guys.zip" contains 170 DDS images, whereas the previous "Skyboxes.db0" contains 338 DDS images and 46 THM files.
Was it that the previous larger set of files were not used by Anomaly, only the files in the folders: 'af3_a_clear', 'af3_a_partly' & 'af3_rainy'?
Thanks! :)
Edit: I've just noticed the older file "Skyboxes.db0" contains the folders: 'af1_foggy', 'af3_a_cloudy' & 'af3_blowout'... should these have been included with "Sorry_guys.zip"? Or just use both files to ensure all skyboxes are covered? Cheers!
Yea good catch but the thing is that a lot of what was in the skyboxes file were actually just vanilla files, I had accidently mixed them up you see so thats why the name sorry_guys. The af3_a_clear,af3_a_partly & af3_rain were the ones that aren't repeats. Next update tho, I will try to cover as many skyboxes as possible. If you want to keep the older file, you are more than welcome to but there really isn't any point in doing so. Enjoy!
Excellent, thank you very much! You have an eye for the nicest skies :D
"Sorry_guys.zip"
HAHAHAHA!
Jokes aside, thanks for this addon which makes Anomaly skies great!
Yea I screwed up so I named it sorry_guys. Hope you enjoy tho.
