CUSTOM SKYBOX INTO YOUR MAP BLACK OPS 3 CUSTOM ZOMBIES MOD TOOLS TUTORIAL

[@superjose96121]

Don't forget to set the material type to sky_latlong_hdr as mentioned by Benji in the comments, it helped me with the checker pattern

[@MoTivE-pw9hb]

yeah this did seem to solve the issue

[@thawolfgaming727]

did not work followed the instructions multiple times and only a red and blue failed texture appers

[@ZombieMagnum]

hey I've had the same problem, for me it was solved when i played around with the "Material Type" in the material asset. turns out my skybox had to be a "sky_latlong_hdr" instead of regular "sky_hdr". hope this helps!! :)

[@MilkyWay51.]

nice work i just done my first custom skybox with you help thanks bro

[@randomrandomius9497]

I did everything you did, but i cant find it when i try to change skybox. And if i close the APE down then open it again, my GDT folder is gone. Do you know what could be the problem?

[@Nicky_G]

Yeah, I can’t have custom GDT’s either. I would recommend just saving it in the premade GDT’s

[@BrennanTheContentWhisperer]

I added a skybox from the list in game and all my lighting is BRIGHT white. How do I fix it? The lightning bolt didnt fix

[@ponerme7294]

Did you found a solution for this problem? I run into the same error unfortunately 😢

[@BrennanTheContentWhisperer]

Don’t quite remember, I either gave up and changed back to default skyboxes ( probably what I did ) Or one of the zones wasn’t properly surrounding the playing area which led to the lighting not loading properly because it’s not loading where you are

[@groot3312]

I don’t have a lightning bolt to update the skybox in radiant

[@KryptixGaming]

Awesome video Ice Grenade!

[@IceGrenade]

Cheers for the comments guys. Glad to help :D

[@BreakdownsOfSanity]

Great tutorial, but how did you learn how to do this?

[@IceGrenade]

+Breakdowns Of Sanity just looked at the files and worked it out myself. There's a lot you can learn from just spending time in the mod tools... Especially ape :)

[@Superfudge247]

great video bro very helpful :)

[@chromaspark1257]

Could you go over how to do brick/wood plank holes in walls?

[@TvBiz]

I was 100fps before and i'm to 30fps now.... help pls

[@OhmyJeebuss]

Hey man you think Radiant black works on Linux/ steam deck?

[@IceGrenade]

I wouldn't bother tbh, the hardware is not powerful enough

[@KuruptR]

Any idea why my skybox doesnt show up on my skybox list? Dimensions are fine; texture,model,material and file are set to .exr

[@IceGrenade]

+Kers you also need the skybox file that points to the model (ssi)

[@NovaPurple]

Is there a way to import one from a older cod? I'm trying to do it and it isn't working

[@IceGrenade]

+Nova Purple (Nova PuRpL33) if it's not supported by wraith then you may wish to look at other ripping tools such as ninja ripper etc. I haven't used it before so I can't advise well on the matter, but it's worth a shot

[@NovaPurple]

im trying it with MOTD and when i got the files it came with a skybox i just cant find a way to use it :( thanks though mate!

[@IceGrenade]

+Nova Purple (Nova PuRpL33) oh you may need to adjust the settings to get the exr format images in wraith... That's the standard skybox format.

[@MAXMAN-lf9nt]

completely unrelated to the tutorial, but do you know the code name for the 1911

[@IceGrenade]

+MAXMAN5050 not sure could try: pistol_m1911 or pistol_1911 pistol_colt pistol_colt1911. Good luck man :)

[@MAXMAN-lf9nt]

thank you, one more thing. Do you know how to make the apothican servant suck in the zombies, when i give it to myself, it just shoots like a puff of air

[@IceGrenade]

no idea man, havent had that gun in custom yet sry

[@bmt69420]

Hey IceGrenade, could you give me a link to the rainbow2 skybox you used? it would really fit my map :D

[@xotamen9667]

Hey bro, can you help me, i have 1 problem, look that : prntscr.com/fc0plf i don't have the skybox in radiant , also the default skybox or other, you know forwhat ?

[@The123tactics]

Too bad you can no longer search for custom resolutions.

[@IceGrenade]

Sure you can. I still do it all the time. It's just a text parameter

[@SuprahPandra]

@Gotmilkandbrains Yeah I found an article, apparently google removed that feature a few years ago for some reason lol, even advanced search doesn't do it

[@Niknokinater]

After a few attempts, I can safely say that this tutorial may be outdated as it no longer works (red and blue sqaures).

[@IceGrenade]

It works for me, what image editor are you using?

[@Niknokinater]

When you say, "It works for me," is this on the basis of the tutorial, or that you recently tried it? I've tried a simple image from Google this time (using the size parameter 8192x4096), converting through your linked site. The end result after applying the ssi to the skybox in Radiant is still the checkers. You use a GDT that you created before this tutorial. Is there anything that you forgot to note there? Thanks for being active after such time! The final WaW days in 2014/15 were considerably lonely.

[@Niknokinater]

@@ZombieMagnum Oh- thanks for the response lad I'll try it out ^^

[@Nicky_G]

@@IceGrenade VERY IMPORTANT!!! He is right, it does not work as you did in the video. What Benji said worked PERFECTLY. I would recommend putting this in the description. Thanks for the vid!!!

[@Vorteron]

for me it's just the green and blue grid texture, i don't know what i did wrong

[@IceGrenade]

could bea few things, resolution, format, duplicate, need to wait ~5 mins for ape to load it right.... are you still getting this issue?

[@Vorteron]

IceGrenade resolution is right, there are no material/ texture duplicates, so basically you're saying that if i apply the material in ape and wait like 5 mins, it should do something?

[@Roam865]

is there any possible way we could use team viewer and try to sort this out. i try doing it the way you do but when you make the custom ssi folder it doesnt show up for me when i tick just default . not sure whats going on. thanks in advance

[@IceGrenade]

I offer 1-to-1 sessions using remote viewers like TeamViewer, if this is something you'd be interested in then please email: [e-mail]. Otherwise post your errors on our discord where you may be able to find quick help from the many users there who map :) Link should be in description, if not, check a recent video. Thanks.

[@Roam865]

IceGrenade alright. Sounds great.

[@Vycter_Real]

I did it wrong. Oh well.
