This conversation is just so.. sad. Very, very sad.

Quoted from Buffalo Bill

How is using a custom skybox on custom maps different from using them on stock maps?

the custom map vmt files aint in the skybox folder. when you use the gcf thing

Everyone calm down or else the banhammer is coming out. If you don’t have any useful response to his question don’t post, and if you call people retards they’re unlikely to help answer your question.

thank god there are SOME peoples that haves som sence in them.
this community is fucked up :|

You really shouldn’t have called them ignorant fucks in the first place.

You should have explained that you used google but it didnt offer a solution to your problem instead of raging like a pre-pubescent teenager.

In fact edit your first post with a massive EDIT: sign and say explain the exact problem.

Don’t worry Klevah, I’ll be a gentleman and help you out. Have you considered the possibility of posting your query on one of the myriad mapping sites or forums?

What with this being a league forum (in the most part) you may get a more agreeable reply.

Quoted from Randdalf

Of course it is, it’s just 6 textures, use a valve skybox (and the file names) as an template. You then have to set the skybox name e.g. sky_randdalf_01, in the map properties.

You’ll also need to get the light_environment settings similar to the colour of the sky, otherwise it’ll look a bit weird.

They can add a hefty amount to filesize once pakratted in though.

If you just want to change the skybox, go to map properties (afaik under view >) and in the skybox box, just set it to, for example, sky_tf2_01.

Thanks first of all. I want to change the skybox for freight. but i dont know how to get the vmt files. Can i get the vmt filies from any random map, and instead of the vmt filie being called something like badlands i change it to freight?
