A skybox is that unreachable texture in the game that serves as a background. (http://i.testfreaks.com/images/products/600x400/205/sonic-adventure-2-battle.485581.jpg - The clouds in the background is an example.)
But how will Skyboxes work in RS? The viewable land cuts off at an angle that it'd just look odd...
Full Version: How will SkyBoxes work inside RS?
It'll just be a cube around us that we don't notice, that'll make it look like we can see further, when we actually can't.

I suppose that weather would involve skyboxes, so I don't think that there will be skyboxes in RS. Why? Did you see something about skyboxes in RS, or are you just speculating?
He isn't speculating, skyboxes were mentioned in the RT5 blog.
I assume it will work just as a giant box centred above our character and reaching out to as far as the rendered game world.

Ok, I see now! Thanks for letting me know.
I guess that a cube would work, but don't most games use a large sphere? I remember when I was learning to program with a simple game engine, we always used large spheres to do skyboxes. Either one would work though, I guess.
I wouldn't really notice the sky much, as I play SD fixed res.

It just paints what the distance would actually look like, on the cubes surface. You can't tell the difference.
Weather and skyboxes have nothing to do with each other.

they use cubes (hence sky box). And by the way, they are reachable (with cheats). In star wars republic commandos I was able to reach the skybox and get inside it, it was cool. (when you shoot the inside of the box it puts a blast mark, then the blast mark affects the whole outer world box too. it is really cool)
it will look like someone photoshoped a picture of a blue sky with clouds in the background over the black/white fog
I believe BumBum007 gave us an excellent example of what sky boxes could look like in RuneScape in his Machinima Contest entry:
Though he is standing on a mountain... So we don't really see how it could look on ground floor.

Well i imagine it in runescape they would merely put scenery such as the sky where we usually have fog
