What do you mean by that?

You've used a texture that only used for a model. Check the name of the texture. It may be something like 'prop/texturename'. Change the texture to a proper one.

1. I used a set of 5 brushes for my sky texture. My map is rectangular so I just pretty much made a half cub and hollowed it, leaveing 4 sides and a top.
The top and the two longest sides work great, but the two smaller sides show what you see in the editor, the sky box texture...

2. I got the texture by pressing Shift+A but I will try that and see if it works...

And here is a new problem, I can't find the props that look like the METAL barrels.. I found wood but no metal...

props_c17 - look for the 'oildrum' models.

Thanks rapid, that helped with the barrels... what about the sky though?

Just place a brush covered in toolsskybox where you want sky to show up, then put a skyname in map properties and it shows up where the toolsskybox tex is.

I did that... but the 2 of the brushes show up as the brush texture, not the sky...
And do you know how to add a light thats like a sun? You used to use light_spotlight or something like that and make it Is Sky on... now that option isn't in it...

I'd suggest a light_environment; they superseded use of the spotlight in HL1 awhile back.

I bet you used the sky textures on your sky like sky_day01_02

your sposed to use the sky texture with blue and light blue lines on them
'skybox'

env_sun

I did use the prop/skybox or whatever it was that you were supposed to use... I don't know what the problem is though...
Thanks for the sun thingy though
