Sky Texture, any alternatives?

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:

<TABLE border=1 style="HEIGHT: 114px; WIDTH: 314px" width="75%">
<TBODY>
<TR>
<TD>2desert</TD>
<TD>black</TD>
<TD>dusk</TD>
<TD>neb6</TD>
<TD>xen10</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>alien1</TD>
<TD>city</TD>
<TD>morning</TD>
<TD>neb7</TD>
<TD>xen9</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>alien2</TD>
<TD>cliff</TD>
<TD>neb1</TD>
<TD>night</TD>
<TD>xen 8</TD></TR>
<TR>
<TD>alien3</TD>
<TD>desert</TD>
<TD>neb2</TD>
<TD>space</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

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 :wink:

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 :biggrin: . very useful.
