Cubemap Replacer (Read description!)


Replaces daytime skybox & reflections in windows and water surfaces. Photorealistic clouds without Photoshop, yay!

NOTE:

To see sky texture change like on screenshot you must have Daylight Classic installed with ‘Classic fog effect’ option enabled! That mod allows to switch between ‘modern’ and ‘classic’ sky &fog effects through its options entry. So you can use it only for taking screenshots if you don’t use it otherwise ?

You may also want to disable edge fog with Clouds & Fog Toggler + enable minimize horizon option that this mod provides. But beware that because of how skybox shader works, it will not render the skybox below horizon (and I can’t change that)

This mod replaces cubemap that affects how reflection on water surface and in windows looks like and also how sky with classic fog effect looks like.

This mod supports two formats of cubemap:
– Single piece (a cross shaped texture, like on mod’s preview image)
– 6-piece split texture (1 per cube face)

The mod supports cubemap packs and itself functions as one (containing two replacements as examples – 6 and 1 piece versions). Cubemap pack is defined by CubemapReplacements.xml file. To make your pack upload CubemapReplacements.xml and the cubemaps next to your mod’s dll (which only has to extend IUserMod, with name and description)

Note that cubemaps are loaded on demand which means that no more than 1 cubemap will be loaded into memory at any given time, so it’s safe to subscribe to as many packs as you want without blowing RAM.

Note to pack makers:

Map pack code must be globally unique! Filenames, on the other hand, are not required to be unique. If you need to have multiple packs in one CubemapReplacements.xml, just specify different prefixes, for instance, if your files are named night_cubemap.png and day_cubemap.png then prefixes should be night_ and day_, respectively

Check out my Pastel pack for example!

I provided example for each format based on this image I found on imgur[imgur.com]. Each exaple has size at approx. 4.5 MB, hence mod’s upload size of ~10 MB. The mod itself is very lightweight.
The examples, as well as vanilla cubemap have resolution of 1024p but you can use a different resolution (including really high-res). Just don’t forget to set resolution in mod’s options.

It would be really cool if somebody could make a cubemap with mountains in background!

Latest update:
UPDATE 4 (10/31/2017)
Added: Cubemap packs support
Changed: Redesigned options to support day & night cubemap packs (Night cubemap replacement support will be added in following updates)
