skies in cs:source

[alexizzle]

hey, i used to map quite a bit in cs 1.6 but now in cs:s i can't figure out how to add a sky. I made brushes around everywhere that they can see, not just a big box around the whole map, and i added a skybox texture to it, and i went to "Map", then "Map Properties" and put in a sky name there from cs:source and when i run the map, they sky testure doesn't show up, i only see a dark, reddish, mix of colors that blends into anything that i see (like if i take me knife out while looking up, i can see my hand movements like frozen in the sky) if you know what i mean. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks

I dont know everything but u have to make a hollow box. then make it a sky_box.

Hollow boxes are not a part of putting a sky in your map except in the case of the 3D skybox.

And the box that surrounds your level... if such is the case :O

Why would you need a box surrounding your map?
