Find a suitable sky by filtering your texture browser to skybox/, then go to Map --> Map Properties and type the name of that image less the leading skybox/ and the last two letters.

Hrmmmmm, Well i do that and my screen is all black and theres no skybox.

i did what u said i used skybox/dustup and it didnt work ? wtf?:flame: :flame:

i think you misunderstood him... first choose your skybox texture..write it down or whatever BUT IGNORE THE LAST 2 LETTERS...if you put the last 2 letters like; bk, lf, rt, etc. it wont work...

so say you like the texture sky/sky_day03_03bk take the "sky_day03_03" ONLY. and put it into your map properties

I want to use skybox/trainup

and i tryed sky_train <-- Lost the the up part cuz of remove last 2 letter

and i tried sky/train <-- Lost the the up part cuz of remove last 2 letter

type the name of that image

less the leading skybox/

and the last two letters.

skybox/raemarsup --> raemars

 

[Firkat54]

umm....there are only 2 textures for train.......

try searching in you material browser...type in skybox find a texture that closely matches the one you want then do the taking off the letters thing....im not sure if train is a valid one...maybe someone else could fill me in?

skybox/raemarsup --> raemars

This is as simple an explanation as it gets.

or,
you do not need to have "skybox/" at all in that line or the last 2 letters indicating which picture it is.

skybox/raemarsup --> raemars

 

[_Meitsi_]

The 2 letters ending means that it's part of a sky texture set, not a specific texture. You need to select the "whole set" (that is the sky witouth the 2 letter end), not a part of it, cause it wont display right.

 

[spazical]

i know you weren't talkin 2 me but that advice has helped me too ty

 

[WAR_Nuker]

hey guy when you go to map properties dont add ANY letters like up rt or dn. it wont work if you do that.

Edit: also make sure you assigned tools/skybox to the actual faces you want to be a sky. its the blue one that says 'skybox' on it.... dont worry it wont look like that in game.

 

[Flippage]

err, you can see what he's doing wrong.

He's typing sky_train where all he needs to type is train

So, in conclusion, just type train in the skybox field, and you're done.

I'm surprised that you guys needed 2 pages to work this out. You guys are slipping - Must be getting old ?

Anyways, hope this helps

P.S. Valve could have made this simpler

P.S. Valve could have made this simpler

How?

I think it's pretty simple as it is: LEAVE OUT THE SKYBOX/ AND THE LAST TWO LETTERS!!!
