CS: Source Sky Names

CS: Source Sky Names

To apply a sky you must first have a skybox around your map making sure there is no leaks (gaps). To apply a sky texture to the skybox, you go to Map->Properties at the top of the editor. Click on "SkyBox Texture Name" and in the empty field type in one of the following sky names:

cx
de_cobble
de_piranesi
hav
italy
jungle
office
sky_dust
sky_wasteland02

(These will be updated as more become available)

Heard of 3d skies, anyone?

Just make fog in the 3d sky and make water that doesnt go out too far (that is if you dont want it to lag like a bitch)

[ZenMunky]

Well what if i wanted a proper night level? I hope theres at least some new ones by now...

[ZenMunky]

Just a note : Im making for CS:Source so I cant use the HL2:DM skyboxes k?

[Wolv34ine]

I think you can use HL2 skynames in CS:S maps, please someone corect me if I am wrong...

[Persol]

You can use the HL ones... but to my knowledge there are no proper night skys. dev_black in a 3D skybox is as close as you get.

[Super SiN]

I can see de_train's skybox isnt added yet.
i tested it and the de_train's skybox is called "train"

please add it. i think its a beautiful sky.

Anyone know how to make your own skybox?

I found a tutorial over on snarkpit which goes as far as converting TGAs to VTFs&VMFs, but I can't figure out how to actually get it into Hammer...

[Serever]

ask amckern. i think he was the one asking around on the help forum before. he ended up getting it working.

[Grim Reaper]

Are any of them night sky box?

[Grãss~Fu.>Þ™]

So far HL2 sky names work for CS:S. As for the best night theme you may want to use "sky_borealis01" till another is made or you make one yourself. Can always refer to the HL2 sky names in the HL2 Tutorials

Besides there are even pictures too
