    You mean the default for the mod or the default for PA. If you want the default for PA back, just disable the mod in PAMM. If you want the default for the mod, just delete the mod and reinstall. :)

    How can I make my own skybox textures? IE how can I convert images to .papa files?

    With either papatran or with the texture editor.

    I'm not I am able to share it I'm afraid as it's from another game (The same as where Zaphod got his), instead of the space sim that others come from. :(

    The skybox is like looking at the inside of a cube. You can use a single picture for one face if you like. Read the guide I linked above, it shows what program to use and the format of the images.

    Yeah that's right. I don't think it will look great though, you'd have to do a bit of editing to make it look good. It looks weird if the skybox is pure black, so you'd need to export a skybox face to an image, then paste the image you want over it (with transparency), then import it.

    i have *\AppData\Local\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\
    but i do not have mods\CustomSkybox\pa\terrain\sky\textures so i cannot get it.
    i tried Try <Win>+R and then type "%LOCALAPPDATA%\Uber Entertainment\Planetary Annihilation\mods\CustomSkybox\pa\terrain\sky\textures but it didn't work. I use the nonsteam PA but linked it with my steam account

    Somewhere along the line the mod managers changed the path. It's now "com.pa.superouman.CustomSkybox" instead of "CustomSkybox".

    Greetings,

    Just found this MOD, like the aesthetic, curious to those using, anyone found a good balance between good looking and doesn't hinder game play(hard to see orbital)? The first few I tried were a little distracting.

    I know I'm probably softer than most but... I love how this looks.. but I get motion sick playing now so I've had to disable it.

    hey maybe this should be moved to relesed. It's the weirdest thing how this mod isn't in released yet.

    Where might one put the folders etc with the PA Titans steam layout? I'm trying to only have 1 PA on my computer :)

    At exactly the same spot. :)

    This mod is automatically compatible with both Classic and Titans. Steam or not doesn't matter because both use the same config dir.

    Ah ok, It's just that I've done a factory reset on PA being on my computer so that I don't have something like 3 verions floating around various locations :D

    I removed the stuff from steam, my documents as well as AppData etc.

    Does this mod still work? I installed it via PAMM, started PA and the sky is still the original?
