ok so i need an alternative sky texture to the Canyon one that comes with the wads on CS.

Thing is that i can't find one that does the same as the normal sky texture, ie it moves around even though it is only a block infront of the window with a texture?

Use the SKY texture as normally, but go to Map->Settings (or Properties, I forget) and you will be able to change the sky name. You can find extra skies in /cstrike/gfk/env/ .

in addition to that, if your looking for the correct skynames to imput into map/properties -> cl_skyname

here is a list of default HL skynames:

2desert black dusk neb6 xen10
alien1 city morning neb7 xen9
alien2 cliff neb1 night xen 8
alien3 desert neb2 space

the 2desert is the default skyname that will be implemented into anymap that doesnt have a different skyname specified. thats the desert canyon one you were complainning about

hope this helps.

SKY texture = tells HL where to show through to the sky/environment map, which is kept in gfx/env as targas, not in a wad.

there are lists of the default HL, CS, and TFC skies here- with PICTURES . very useful.

If you wanna make your own skies, download terragen. It's very easy just follow some tut's or just figure it out your own. http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen [addsig]
