This HAK contains four new skies : a forest skybox with large trees and day/night transition, a canyon skybox with sprawling canyon walls and day/night transition, foreboding thunderstorm clouds with day/night transition, and an Underdark skybox with a large cavernous feel. This is the Hi-Res NanoSky Pack, it uses uncompressed TGA textures to attain best quality. This HAK will not override any of the default Bioware skyboxes. Includes a demo module showcasing the four skyboxes, module requires SoU and HotU 1.62.8047 or higher.
This HAK contains skybox entries from the part II and III packs as well but not the textures for them. In order to use them you will have to download the second and third NanoSky Packs. They can be downloaded at http://nwvault.ign.com.
Update Notice - Sunday, February 29th, 2004: The 2DA file has been properly padded in this update. This will change the order of entries in the 2DA file. Any modules using this pack prior to this update may have to be updated if they are to take advantage of the updated pack. Sorry for the inconvenience.

Looks excellent, but will not work with demos unless everything in the name is lowercase. For instance this one needs to be named nanosky_hires.hak, the others need to be named nanosky_ii_hires.hak and nanosky_3_hires.hak.

Used these in my module 'Tale of a Mage, Chapter 1 - The Uvudry Threat.' They added a lot--Thanks!

Minor Update: Added entries into the skyboxes.2da file for Doyleyboy's and Mohss's skies.
If you want to use Doyleyboy's and Mohss's skies in conjunction with this HAK, simply add their HAK files to your module along with mine then select the appropriate sky from the list.
Please Note! Their skies were not originally intended to be used with the HotU skybox system. As such, you may encounter bugs when using their skies in such a manner. For best results read the documentation included in their files and apply their skyboxes per their instructions.

great new skies , my favourite and most usefull is the Underdark that is perfect with cave tileset but id like a second version with stone texture exactly like underdark tileset stone texture (more brown)
Only the demo module requires the 1.62 beta patch or higher. The HAK itself containing the skies should be able to work in any module you add it to assuming you have support for Biowares skyboxes in your toolset version.

GAH!! Talk about mean!! These great looking skies posted with a Beta patch toolset version...

You should really consider using DDS textures instead. You save space and get high resolutions.

Very, I'd not mind if you made a hak, that would override the original NWN skies (truth be told, they are not great, and are weak in comparison to yours)

Spot on, thanks
