I am making a 2d skybox and it works fine until i start the game. It says "Node Graph Out of Date, Rebuilding" and when its done my skybox seems to dissapear and the repeating texture starts to happen when i look where the sky box would be.

You mean, it never actually works...
The "node graph..." message has nothing to do with it. I think you have the vtfs and vmts for your skybox placed in the wrong folder. They will only work if they are in the materials/skybox folder of the game you are mapping for. It happened to me not long ago.

It may also help to give a few screenshots too.

Node graphs are used by the AI to scout usable paths for NPCs, they have nothing to do with textures :) .

The vmt must be set up wrongly, check the original skybox vmt's and see how it works. Also check out the Valve Developer Wiki.
