Hi,

hope someone posts to this forum..

Well, my question goes: How do I make a custom sky or import skies from other mods? I definitely, desperately want a snow "sky" in my map. I found a proper sky in cs but I don't know how to import (?) it.

Right now I have one of my own targa sets but that looks.. ermm.. how should I put it.. bad?

copy the sky textures you want into the "\Steam\SteamApps\youraccount\half-life\ns\gfx\env". Should be 6 *.tga files

Then change the sky at map properties, map --> map properties... Once here you have to know the name of the tga files.

for example "winterskybk.tga" would be called wintersky at envitonment map (cl_skyname). Another exmple would be "winter_sky-bk.tga". In this case you have to use winter_sky- as the cl_skyname... In other words, use only the characters in front of bk,dn,ft,lf,rt,up (back,down,front,left,right,up). They are simple identifiers for the engine to know where to render them on the skybox.

Yay, I got it, thanks a billion
