Besiege: How to Create Skybox Packs for Object Explorer

• Unity 5.4.0f3
• Visual Studio 2019 (NOT Visual Studio Code)
  • Component: .NET Framework 3.5 Development Tools
  • Workload: Game development with Unity
  • Workload: .NET Desktop Development

1. In Besiege, open the console with Ctrl+K.
2. Run command with arguments: createmod
3. Run command with arguments: createassembly
4. In Unity, create an asset bundle with the required skyboxes and stick it into the /<mod_name>/Resources folder of your mod.
   • Add +<elevation>,<azimuth> (replacing <elevation> and <azimuth> with the appropriate numbers) to the end of the skybox file name to set the sun angle.
   • You may need to look up how to import skyboxes into Unity.
   • You may need to look up how to put things into asset bundles in Unity.
5. Follow the instructions on how to add asset bundles to your mod.[wiki.spiderlinggames.co.uk]
6. In Visual Studio, open your mod project file (in the /src folder of your mod).
7. Add ObjectExplorer.dll to your solution’s references.
   • You can find it in C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\346010\1566687579\ObjectExplorer.
   • You may need to look up how to add resources to a project.
8. Open Mod.cs.
9. Replace the contents of this file with

   using Modding;
   
   namespace <namespace>
       public class Mod : ModEntryPoint {
           public override void OnLoad() {
               SkyboxController.LoadSkyboxes(ModResource.GetAssetBundle("<bundle name>"));
           }
       }
   }

   • Replace <namespace> with something unique.
   • Replace <bundle name> with whatever you called the asset bundle in the manifest.
10. Compile the assembly with F6.

Your skyboxes should now be available in Object Explorer.
