Summary	0000267: Support `skyrotate` or Similar to the Software Renderer (or for Every Style Skybox in the Hardware Renderer)
Description	Right now there appears to be no way to change the rendering orientation of the skybox in the software renderer or, according to the wiki, the hardware renderer for skyboxes that are not of the Quake 2 style. It would be nice to have control over the orientation; at least on the axis perpendicular to the map plane in the software renderer and any axis in the hardware renderer for any skybox style.
Steps To Reproduce	N/A
Additional Information	This would be especially helpful for the SkyboxViewport actor when controlled by an ActorMover that is set the face the actor towards the direction of travel.
Tags	No tags attached.

Graf Zahl 2017-02-15 14:22 administrator ~0000609	No idea how this works precisely, but if you want to see a skybox connected to an ActorMover, in Daedalus there's a map that is using this for an extended scripted intro for its third hub. You may want to look at that for reference.

Graf Zahl 2017-02-24 12:20 administrator ~0000751	I have no idea what I should do with this.

6XGate 2017-03-05 11:43 reporter ~0000868	Well, I could have been imagining it, but it seemed that not using the Face Direction of Movement flag on the ActorMover use to make it look more fluid, but now it looks the same, so I guess this request isn't really needed, so it should be closed.
