in 3d skybox problem Post #78781
I used the prop palm_tree_head_skybox from de_dust in my skybox but when i run my map it looks huge. Not multiplied in size by 16 though like skyboxes do becuase that prop should already be scaled down but it look about 4 time the size as it should be. Anyone know why or how to fix it?

in shybox's and sky textures Post #78399
just type in sky in your textures list and it shows all the different sky's... in the textures menu they all have something added to the end of the name though like for sky_dust theres sky_dustbk sky_dusttp but the acual name of the sky texture is the part of the name that doesn't change

in Error... wtf? Post #78060
I had that same problem. I asked valve... they didn't help... I asked people here... they didn't help. I asked the people at hammer.... they didn't help. I dont think anoyone knows how to fix it.

What i did was went to my <username>/sourcesdk/bin folder, found hammer and made a shortcut of that onto my desktop. So you may not be able to run source sdk but atleast you got hammer :
