Only one sky works, sky_wasteland02, and thats not even in the texture browser. How do I get the other sky's to work? (yeah i am putting the name in correctly ! )

for exmaple you choose a sky name from the (sky list in the texture list)

and then you can take some name like : sky_01day_05 ..

I know.. it works.

Thats what im talking about, I pick a sky from the texture browser, put it in map properties but when i load the map, in console it says unable to find texture 'sky_.....'. And like I said, I am putting the correct name in (without the word skybox etc).

try HL2Files (http://www.hl2files.com), they have a lot of tutorials and I'm sure they can explain it right, I think they have a list of usable sky names as well.

I've used different sky textures before I know how it works, but i've tried 10 different sky textures now and none of them are working...

Edit: I just read the above post :-(

you may be writing it correctly, but are you putting the name of the sky in "Skybox Texture Name" found in Map -> Map Properties?

i posted thsi before, all you have to do is go to map properties-->skyname or watever its called and put in "skyday01_05" with out the ", if this doesnt work ill just have to check when i get home. Or ur hammer might just be messed up.


edit: to change the sky type just open ur texture search thing and type in filter "sky" and then for example if it says "sky/skyday_01_03bk" the only thing you have to type is "skyday_01_03" again with out the ". Hope this helps

Look guys I have been mapping for some time I do know the basics.

then for some reason hammer is not looking for the sky texture in the correct location or your hammer configuration is messed up. These are the only logical explanations. You know where to put the sky texture name, for some reason it's not finding it.

That's not the only "logical explanation", many of the sky's don't actually work ingame. THere are only about 10 of them that are usable.

Ah thought so, looked at that site you posted but found it far to hard to navigate round.

What do you think of the sky? does it fit the scenario?
