This is Part III of the NanoSky Packs. This HAK contains four new skies : Ice Cavern, Sea Floor with day/night transition, Hills with day/night transition and Jungle ruins with day/night transition. This is the Hi-Res NanoSky III 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 I and II packs as well but not the textures for them. In order to use them you will have to download the first and second 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.

Being there is no where else...I guess here will do. I would like to use your breath taking skies in an upcoming mod. Would that be o.k? _________________________ Farewell and a long farewell it shall be. Some of us are not destined to meet again.

Self-Promotional Honesty: If you have opinions on stuff I've made, or if you use any of it (as a player or builder), I like comments/votes/feedback...so do other content makers and builders. Keep us motivated. :)
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.

Doh, I thought those numbers were taken into account. I'll update the packs then later today. Anything after line 30 should be considered 'safe' for community content.
My goal for this stuff I have been working on really is just to make some alternative skies to supplement the more general purpose ones Bioware and people such as Psyra and Doyleyboy have been making. Sort of to fill in the gaps here and there for locales where general purpose skies wouldn't quite fit.
I'm looking forward to seeing some more great stuff come down the pipe from the community.

Very good! My only minor complaint is that the jungle seems a bit too dark. The ice cavern and underwater ones are especially good.

The only drawback of these is the fact that high res, uncompressed TGA's are over three megs a piece and compress only about 50% once RARed. So putting a lot of these together takes some space... but it doesn't bother me. Quality stuff, really adds atmopshere! =D
Put the three of these Nanosky packs together, and they're 10's to me. But yeah, only one point off for that 30 megs worth of (compressed) HAK for 12 skyboxes. :)
