[0.4.0] [Duke] Skyboxes not loading

[mjr4077au]

Only reporting because my understanding was most mods were still to work.

1. Download skybox pack from here.
2. Extract into Raze directory and rename 'skyboxes.def' to 'duke3d.def'.
3. Run Raze and commence new game.
4. Observe no skyboxes loaded despite the engine loading the def file.

Dunno if this ever got fixed (I assume so since this issue got closed), but apparently skyboxes are not working in latest releases again (or still?). Found out when trying to get the World Tour skyboxes working in the new episode. World Tour-style definitions (def SkyboxData syntax) would even crash the client on startup while EDuke32-style defs (skybox syntax) just wouldn't work ingame.

On top of that, what I observed is if skyboxes are residing within a "textures" folder, any .def file placed in there would not be recognized. My suspicion here is that Raze is handling the textures folder like the one from ZDoom by accident, but it could ofc also be something entirely else.

Tested with raze-x64-1.1.0pre-197-g207298aeb.

[Graf Zahl]

Skyboxes only work with the new renderer, but not in Polymost.

[NightFright]

Oh. Well, I hope a way is found to change that since the parallax skies in World Tour really look quite shitty, and if you look all the way up, you would still see the border.

[Graf Zahl]

It's far more likely that Polymost will be removed once the new renderer works well enough.
I consider that projection math voodoo unmaintainable.

[NightFright]

Well, good news is that worldorder.def is apparently already loaded automatically if I place it in the groupfile, so it should work out of the box with the new renderer. Version 1.3 of the script is available.

PS: Actually I dunno if skyboxes are used, could also just be the parallax sky being reshaped by the renderer.
