Probably a nooby question. :P

How do you put different skyboxes into your level? Is it just with the .mis file or using the skybox ingame?

When you open up your .mis file in Notepad, you should see something like this near the top. Search for "new Sky" if you can't find it.
Code:
new Sky(Sky) { position = "0 0 0"; rotation = "1 0 0 0"; scale = "1 1 1"; cloudHeightPer[0] = "0"; cloudHeightPer[1] = "0"; cloudHeightPer[2] = "0"; cloudSpeed1 = "0.0001"; cloudSpeed2 = "0.0002"; cloudSpeed3 = "0.0003"; visibleDistance = "500"; useSkyTextures = "1"; renderBottomTexture = "1"; SkySolidColor = "0.600000 0.600000 0.600000 1.000000"; fogDistance = "300"; fogColor = "0.600000 0.600000 0.600000 1.000000"; fogVolume1 = "-1 7.45949e-31 1.3684e-38"; fogVolume2 = "-1 1.07208e-14 8.756e-14"; fogVolume3 = "-1 5.1012e-10 2.05098e-08"; materialList = "~/data/skies/Intermediate/Intermediate_Sky.dml"; windVelocity = "1 0 0"; windEffectPrecipitation = "0"; noRenderBans = "1"; fogVolumeColor1 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 0.000000"; fogVolumeColor2 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 0.000004"; fogVolumeColor3 = "128.000000 128.000000 128.000000 14435505.000000"; };

Change the materialList to direct to a different .dml file. For instance:
Code:
materialList = "~/data/skies/Intermediate/Intermediate_Sky.dml";
becomes
Code:
materialList = "~/data/skies/Expert/Expert_Sky.dml";
if you want to use the Expert skybox.
