Skybox and Zoom

Description
Experience Victoria 3 like never before — tilt your camera toward the horizon and watch your empire stretch beneath real skies. Feel the world come alive with cinematic depth and breathtaking immersion.

Based on the Enhanced Graphics mod to keep these features alive. All credit goes to Dementive for creating the original mod and also credit to terrapass skybox utility for ck3.


*You can remove the city names by using the Pure Terrain map mode:







Changes
  • Skybox around the world that shows clouds when at the lowest zoom and tilted, the color of the skybox changes with the day/night cycle of the game.
  • Enhanced camera that allows you to right click and tilt all the way down.
  • Adds a new map mode called "Pure Terrain" that does not show any map icons so you can see the terrain clearly.

@StrifeXIII Thank you.

@Scotvince the "map markers" including city names are hidden in the new Pure Terrain map mode this mod adds. It is close to the bottom of the map modes list in the game and you can see it in action in the first gif image in the mod description above.

@DanielAir you can take a look at the basic mod this is based off of https://github.com/terrapass/ck3-modutil-skybox/tree/master from CK3 and see if the HOI4 files have similar files to add the skybox mesh and tweak to the camera zoom tilt to 17 degrees at closest level.

@DanielAir I am also curious

Hm. Well, most hoi4 players don't really care about graphics, so maybe that's why. How is the trick done? I can try implementing it myself.

@DanielAir To be honest I'm not sure, I don't play a lot of HOI4 and don't have much exposure to its files, but I think it's running on an older engine perhaps it won't support adding the skybox tiles to the edge of the map. I'm surprise others haven't done it already if it were possible as popular as that game is.

@abagnale The Pure Terrain map mode is in the map modes list in the game, you can spot it in action in the gif image in the mod description. I think the greek temple was added the game a few patches ago, I don't recall exactly which but it is not part of the mod.

I'm curious now. Is the skybox "trick" also doable on HoI4?
