First, if you haven't bought it then do so immediately!!

Couple of things I've noticed when changing the sky with rolfy's 70 Skybank pack installed:

1/. There are more skybanks that can be displayed on the dropdown (in test game). I can only see up to "roc". Perhaps some sort of scrollbar is needed?
2/. Selecting a sky which happens to be over a panel also selects / moves that panel.

I have some of Rolfy's individual sykbanks but can't find this pack either by search or manually searching. Do you have a link?

Depending on your screen res it looks like up to 50 skybox names can be displayed without a scroll feature.

I agree the editor definitely needs looking at, was ok when only a few skyboxes were available. There are 64 skyboxes on sale in the store alone now and this number will increase. I have also mentioned myself that the menu's all over the screen in TAB edit is way too cluttered and others agreed with this.

At the moment you could install ten or so at a time and select which ones you want to use, it is safe to delete the folders you don't want even with GG open, if you delete one being used it will default to 'clear' skybox and you can install some others rinse and repeat without having to shut down GG till you have the selection you want. Not ideal but this is out of my hands where editor menus are concerned

There is also the issue of the license present in skybox folder which states that skyboxes are copyrighted CGSkies only a few of these are CG now and some of those that ship with the product were in fact provided by me to TGC. This sky copyright info is now well outdated.

They need to state which skies are CGSkies to prevent confusion since these can only be used in GG.

I agree, I can not see all the sky I've currently.

Looks like these have been fixed in the next update.

Hi,

The scroll feature will be part of the next build. The problem was spotted a couple of weeks ago internally.

Well First off

1 I already bought it
2 i don`t need somebody telling me to buy it
3 Would have thought product chat would have been about GG it`s self
4 this should have gone in 3rd Party Models/Media Chat as rolfy already has it posted there
5 MadLad Designs you must be getting some commission to tell people to buy unless your involved with it
did`nt see your name anywhere .

Reading the post now it may look like the best place for it to have been but initially it wasn't a bug report from the OP it was just conversation regarding the skybox's which kind of developed ...
This has already been resolved in the next release as Scene Commander stated so I think its done and dusted with regards to that ...

Recommending someone's media is not uncommon I do it all the time as do the majority of the Community so please keep your posts in a polite manner when commenting .

1 Awesome!
2 It was a general comment, not aimed at anyone in particular so please don't take it personal.
3 It was about GG, rolfy's pack just pointed out a few things to be corrected.
4 See no. 3
5 Nope, just a friendly encouragement. If you don't want it don't buy it (although you already did).
