Well first of, I know that the sky box's need to be in two formats, bmp and tga. I also know that you have to have lt,bk,rt and so on at the end.

But when I try to play a map with my custom sky box I get the following message " LoadTGA : Only type 2 and 10 tagra RGB images supported". I really need some help, I dont think I am converting the TGA images probley. I load up the BMP's in wally and export them as a TGA. Does anyone know of any programs that are useful or nessesary for custom sky box creation or has anyone made a custom sky box that could walk me through how they did it?

Thanks

They have to be a certain resolution and some other junk like that.
Rimrook knows all about that so send him a pm.

They have to be 256x256 each and have 256 colors, I believe. You don't need any BMPs though.

Well i belive the bmp's are there for if you use software mode for non steam half-life.

I don't see why that would be... I thought they were just so you could view them in a normal image viewer that may not support the viewing of TGAs.

24-bit compressed TGA is the type of TGA file you need.

If software mode were using bmps, then i couldnt run some of the original cs maps because all of the bmps arent there :D
