Special thanks to Crowii for allowing it to go public. <3

New in v1.01:
*Fixed a typo that wouldn't compile
-removed sky_apote01_hdr from skybox.ini by default because it's really large compared to others. If you want to use it, just uncomment it.

In that case, they will probably have to rejoin or wait till map change to see effect. This plugin simply sets sv_skyname to appriopriate skybox for that client. In CS:GO, it updates immediately.

It works on tf2 if you use it as a global manager and not allow it per-client.

That is, you set the cvar "sv_skyname" in OnConfigsExecuted (or earlier, if possible) right before a client connects in.

But as for per-client configurations, not possible in TF2. Still, the concept is there for anyone to use in TF2.

Hey deathknife, this is a sweet plugin, I remember using one similar years ago back in 1.6 and everyone loved it.

A couple questions, does this apply your selected skybox to every map, or only for whatever map you chose a skybox on?

Also, is it possible to add a "reset sky" option back to the map default? This would be especially helpful for maps that have custom skyboxes packed in with the bsp, that wouldn't be selectable.

It applies your selected skybox to every map. There already is "Map Default" at #1 which just sends the server's sv_skyname to the client.

Ahh awesome, didn't realize that was an option. Would there be a way to save players preferences on a per-map basis instead of blanketed for all maps?

Like Valve ever does anything just for the good of the community.

At least be glad the cvar exists on TF2 and works server-side... mvm_rottenburg at nighttime looks pretty.

This plugin can be forked and easily remade to a version for TF2 where admins can pick what skybox they want to use on the next map. I'm not saying for the OP to do it, nor do I have the time to do it myself, but the potential is there.
