List of skies
This is a list of skies available in Source 2, Source and GoldSrc engine games, along with pictures of each skybox. The light_environment settings listed (Ideal Sun Angle, Ideal Brightness, etc) are suggestions based on settings used in official maps; other values may also be appropriate. To test skies in singleplayer without recompiling the map, bring up the console and enter sv_skyname <sky_name>
. Quicksave the game, load it again and the old skybox should be temporarily replaced with the new one.
