Hello, my talented mappers and modders.

Mappers, I have a job for you.

Could you make a map with a skybox and a floor just like this texture?

Each square would be an 8x8 plate. Or (as requested by CheeseDragon) 4x4 and 16x16 versions, too. Maybe even a 1x1 version.

PLEASE make it aligned on the brick grid. Make it so that if I place an 8x8 plate on one of the squares, it would sync up correctly.
PLEASE.

Thanks, I'd really appreciate it.

not bad idea, could make different scaled versions like 4x4 grid and 16x16

Good idea! Mappers, get on that.

Maybe even a 1x1. that would be fun.

useful as a grid for making large scale maps.

Yeah. That could work.

We just have to make sure whoever makes it puts it in the brick grid.

A grid like that doesn't map well into a 3D cube. Why does it have to be the skybox? It would just hurt your eyes. A regular slate with that type of texture would work much better.

Yeah. I see why that would work.

Could you make this for us, Demian?

Did you make that picture in gamemaker?

Sure. I'll need some time to make the texture pretty though.

That may just be among the most bizarre questions I've read. Why on earth would he have made that simple MS Paint level image in GameMaker?

I know what program that is, and no. I took a screenshot of an empty Paint.Net image.

Thank you.

Also, I use tons of your other addons. Love them. I'm sure this one will be made with expertise.

Also, (sorry for triple post) could you make the skybox a plain color?

This'll be used for large scale builds and Pixel art, also Mod pictures.

I'd appreciate it.

(Honestly, do what you want. You're the expert. Just an idea.)

Would be cool is adjustable plate had something like this.

I might release this later in RTB. Let me know what you think.

This is amazing. Thank you, Demian.

It aligns perfectly!

I'm sure I'll give you a lot of credit on projects where I use this.
