SKY

SKY IS REALLY EASY

I TAKE NO CREDIT FOR THE CREATION OF THE IMAGES IN THIS POST
I DID NOT MAKE THEM

FIRST

IN THE MAP MENU AT THE TOP- MAP PROPERTIES
DOESN'T LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE

THERE ARE WAYS TO USE CUSTOM SKY TEXTURE I JUST DON'T KNOW HOW

NEXT
USE THIS AS AN EXAMPLE


FIND THE SKY TEXTURE
ITS JUST A LIGHT BLUE COLOR
IT MOST LIKELY WON'T SAY SKY ON LIKE THE PICTURE
JUST CLOSE THE MAP WITH THE SKY TEXTURES
IF YOU HAVE A HUGE ROOM
AND YOUR USING LIGHTS
YOU MAY GET A MAX LEAF FACES ERROR
TO AVOID THIS
JUST CREATE SMALL SQUARES OF SKY TEXTURES THAT COVER THE SAME AREA
SAME WITH THE FLOOR
IT SHOULD FIX THE ERROR
IF IT DOESN'T WORK
THEN EITHER RESTART OR MAKE IT SMALLER
NOTE
I'M NOT SURE IF IT WILL ACTUALLY WORK
I'VE SEEN WHAT APPEARED TO BE IT IN SOME MAPS I'VE DECOMPLIDED
I KINDA TRIED IT WITH HELLOWEEN
BUT I NEVER TRIED IT WITH A GIANT CEIL

ummmm... link please?

how is my explination not good??

It's alright I guess, I already figured out how to do that stuff already though.

Also, you need to settle on the caps and such and make it out more neat, that can really drag people away.

You kinda lost me with it about half way thourgh.

What .wad shows those Xen skies? I'd love to use them.

No wad does, look in your /gfx/env/ directory in sc and hl(if you extracted the files from the hl gcf.)

How do I use them if their not in a .wad file?

all skyse arent in a wad
all they really are is 6 different images sumulating
up
down
north
east
south
west
these are usually tga files
the files do not get put in your wad
skies are used in the map options menu
not in wad
if your using one of the skies listed above
you don't need a custom made series of tga images becuase these are defualted for all half-life non-source games
if the game doesn't find something it needs to run
the next place it looks is in the "half-life.gcf" file which contains all the files half-life needs to run
