Is it possible yet to change the Skybox in game via LUA? Or has this not been implemented "yet"? I've finalized my night and day cycle system but am only limited by the Skybox.

Im expecting the usual answer of no. But feel its worth asking in case im wrong.

The answer is no for now, but once graphic overhaul is out the door, I think we can come up with a few LUA commands to take control of the skybox texture and geometry (and shader constant pass-in values)

That would be really cool. For today I'm playing around with a series of skyboxes as entities on the map; with no collisions and always follows the player via LUA. With the hide and show options to swap between depending on the time of the day. Its crud but might be useful until then.
