Hi all! I'm working in the foundry, and I was trying to adjust the sky box of this one outdoor map. So, I went into "edit backdrop" and saw the options there. Unfortunately, I still haven't figured out exactly how to get what I want. Maybe it's not possible yet? I've looked in other forum posts but I guess I missed the exact answer I was looking for...

If you choose any sky box other than the blank one, it will override any setting you define. However if you choose the "blank" one, you can add clouds, horizon mountains, horizon trees, gradient blooms, and even a big fat moon! Unfortunately, your sky is black.

I can't seem to find anywhere to add a sky box and also add the clouds or horizon overlays to create a truly original sky box.

Just as a side note, adding lighting, fog, and lighting effects does work, but I'm still bound to only 3 or 4 set sky boxes with no way to add clouds or anything, unless I want the sky to be totally black...during the day....which is a bit too ominous and could possibly signify the end of the world.

Has anyone else experienced anything different?

    You might double check the order as well -- I submitted a bug report about the overrides being out of order.
    - I think the actual sky background was like the 3rd dropdown? Look carefully at the dropdown contents and
    you can probably figure which one is out of place. I haven't seen a patch note referencing that being fixed,
    so I can only assume it is still bugged.
