How to make your own custom sky Created 19 years ago2005-03-31 12:32:50 UTC by Dragt

I want to make a sky if my own, cos the standard skys in hl/cs are boring. Does anyone know how I can make my own sky?
I googled before but I did not find anything

Have a look at the standard skies in <moddir>/gfx/env (i.e. cstrike/gfx/env) with Wally or GCFScape. They all end in .tga. Emulate their format exactly and put your new skies in the appropriate directory. Note the two-letter suffixes on the sky image names, dn, up, rt, etc, these denote which area of the sky the image is (such as 'down', 'up', 'right' etc.)

so if I want to, I can make skys with paint?
I didn't no it is so easy

If Paint lets you save in tga format, then it's possible.
Bryce is a better option, and I think there are tutorials for making hl skys with it

photoshop saves it *.tga

I wish i had Photoshop, but my computer cant take it
got a P2 300 mhz

Wow :|.

IrfanView can save as any non-proprietary format. I imagine it'd run on something that olde, but I couldn't swear.

It can run HL?

It depends on his 3D card more than anything, but HL runs even in P1 at 200 mhz (software mode usually).
And my maps probably run fine on those machines, hehehe
