Hi everyone,

I’ve been wondering if there is any way to install custom skybox in new version of pldx tool. If yes, i’d really like to know how to do it.

Yes, of course.

Just put a skybox in the usual location after PLDX has moved the files.

What do you mean by ‘usual location’?
Do i have to put it in steam folders, or in moviefiles?

It doesn’t work for me :/. I put the new skybox in the usual location after and before launching the pldx tool with default skybox. After replacing i still have it def.
What’s wrong?

Try this (not tested)

Goto moviefiles/materials/Skybox directory and make a copy of all .VTF files called sky_sky1_01.. (this is so you don’t delete the original files)

Copy/paste your desired skybox VTF files into same directory.

Rename desired skybox VTF files as sky_sky1_01.. (replace .. with up, dn, bk, etc)

Select skybox 1 in pldx tool, and click run TF2
