NIGHT THEMED MAPS (help) Created 17 years ago2007-04-05 20:57:31 UTC by spinakerjones

i was wondering how to make a night based map for source and how to get a night themed skybox. (is there one) thanks

Yeah, there are different skies. You need to go up to the top of the window and hit map>>map properties. From there, click on the skybox texture name field and you type in the name of your sky.

The sky list is here at http://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Sky_List

Theres even reccommendations for what your light_environments settings should be, to fit the lighting of the sky. If you wanted the first sky with a picture down the page, you would post in the Skybox Texture Name field "sky_borealis01".. then it will be in your map. Huzzah

thanks man helped alot!

Also you can add "$color" [.x .x .x] parameter into six vmt files of each skybox (you need wxtract them from gcf before) and control tint & brightness of skybox textures.

sweet, all i did here was just put up a night skybox from the lit you told me about but you can see it here http://twhl.co.za/mapvault_map.php?id=4520
