Upside Down Skybox

[lilneo]

Alright, well I don't have any problems with hammer, all working great. I have a skybox and everything, but (I am making a surf map) in my surf map at a point you go through a glass corridor that allows you to view the outside. Unfortunately since it's on the lower half of the map you can see the giant ugly square at the bottom of the skybox. I was wondering if there would be any way to flip the skybox, or do something to get rid of that ugly square?

You could replace the texture with something more appropriate, or you could rotate the skybox side textures and swap the top and bottom textures.

How could he rotate the skybox textures? You don't actually use the skybox texture you want on the skybox surfaces. You use the "SKYBOX" texture and you choose which texture you want in the map properties.

You cannot rotate the skybox texture.

Realistically, a player could never look down into the bottom of the map without something obstructing his vision (the ground, ocean, etc). Without placing something in the way, the player will always be able to see the bottom of the skybox.

Who gives a shit about such a minor detail as this in a surf map anyway, honestly.

I meant rotate the bk, ft, lt and rt textures and swap the the up and dn textures.
