What do you mean by custom skybox? a full explaination of what you are trying to accomplish will get you alot more answers
if you are trying to insert custom images (example: your own apartment building) you can make your custom image a texture and use a no draw decal on all other faces and it is easily done

This...

ignore the parts for terragen and go to the part that says

Get the textures ready
Now, if you open up the C: drive, you'll see six new BMP files. Rename them as follows, where xxxx is whatever you want to name your sky:

nobody said you have to use terragen

if you have the images/textures already for all sides of the skybox

check 4 and 5 of http://wiki.modsrepository.com/index...ustom_Skyboxes

make sure your image files are converted to .tga

myskybox_ft.tga = front
myskybox_lf.tga = left
myskybox_up.tga = top
myskybox_bk.tga = back
myskybox_rt.tga = right
myskybox_dn.tga = bottom

**make sure you added the suffix _ft _lf _up _bk _rt _dn **


now again check above link for setting up the material in asset manager
you only need to setup/convert the mybox_ft.tga
