This modpack adds nine new skies to AoM (note it should work on both AoM and AoMX).
To install just move the files to their respective folders e.g. from the zip file data folder to Age of Mythology/data, etc.
Once installed you can use the following additional sky types when using Render Sky in the Scenario Editor.
SkyCloud1
SkyCloud2
SkyCloud3
SkyCloud4
SkyDusk2
SkyMordor
SkyNight
SkyOrange
SkyRed
The sky textures were sourced from http://www.noctua-graphics.de/english/Tex/sky.htm

If you haven't already got the diino client you need to install it first. It can be downloaded for free from here:
www.diino.com/download.html
To access the Legends of Middle Earth folder, you start diino and login using the following information:
username: lomefiles
password: guardian
The file is called New Terrains and Skies.pdf.
Note the .pdf is about 3-times the size of the mod!
As for working online, it should work but if a player doesn't have the texture/model they will just get the black sky.

This means that once you extract the files from the .zip would will create three sub folders: data, models, textures. In these folders will be a bunch of files. Move all the files from each .zip folder to the Age of Mythology sub-folder on the same name.
As for online, it might work if both players have the mod installed, otherwise, but I am not sure. If it doesn't get a sync error and one player does not have the mod installed I assume they will just have a black sky.
If someone tries it, please let me know.

To create a new sky you need to get a good picture that can wrap around (e.g. the left hand edge of frame 1 lines up with the right hand edge of frame 4, so the image when wrapped serveral times around the sky doesn't have seams). These then get converted to .ddt paletted 16-bit 0 bit(4), 1-mip level (from memory but convert an existing one to be sure).
You then need to take a copy of an existing sky.brg and hex edit it to point to the new set of .ddts (skies don't use _anims, so you can't use replaceTexture).
The existing skyies uses a standard set of file names mysky_xx and my_sky_xx2.
The sequence for the normal versions is
_BK, _RT, _FR, _LF
and for the darker set
_FR2, _LF2, _BK2, _RT2
In the standard AOM skies I looked at the darker one was the same basic skymap as the corresponding one in the normal list.
I was going to try a few more with mountain ranges and distant forests.
