ive tried to follow the things they said in the skybox tutorials from

http://www.gamewag.com/hl2.html#skyboxes

i tried the one from valve-erc. and when i compiled and tested my map the 3d sky showed up fine but the corneres were were lined and messed up. But i want to know how to change the sky to a different sky its current defaulted at sky_wasteland1 or something like that. i want to change it to sky_day01 but how do i do this? i went into map properties,options and nothing helped or changed it. please help

i tried the one "map properties" but i couldnt find class info, where is this located?

this is all i get when i go. are you using a different editor or was there a hammer update that im not aware of? when i go through MAP -> MAP PROPERTIES -> then it lists all the things and it doesnt say class info anywhere only Skybox texture name but when i enter the name it doesnt work. do i have to add numbers or letters to the name or do i have to do for example (skybox/sky_day01_07bk) note: im copying this name from under textures, should i be using Materials instead?

ps> sorry about the small pic size copy it and paste it under PAINT or watever you like and englarge to see

skybox/sky_day01_07bk

take off the "bk" and maybe the "skybox"

I'm not sure what causes the lines, but it may be worth trying to move the brushes so they *just* touch and no more. I.e. don't make the 'ceiling' of the skybrush reach over the top of the 'walls' of the skybrush.
