{{lang|Half-Life 2 Sky List}}
{{HL2 topicon}}
This is a list of skies available in the Steam caches, 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.

{{LanguageBar|title = List of Half-Life 2 skies}}


{{Note|For HDR-capable games, you need to add ''_hdr'' to the end of sky names (''Excluding Episode 1 skies''), if it is not already there so it does not cause the Sky Texture to stretch. (''So, if your sky name was sky_day01_01, you would make it sky_day01_01_''hdr'''').}}
{{Todo|Update Brightness/Ambience value to match 20th anniversary update, while keeping the old one from Orange Box/pre-20th anniversary release.}}
 
This is a list of {{hl2|1}} skies, along with 360-degree panoramas of each skybox. The {{Ent|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 {{Command|sv_skyname|<sky_name>}}. Quicksave the game, load it again and the old skybox should be temporarily replaced with the new one.
 
{{note|For HDR-capable games, the {{code|_hdr}} prefix must be added to the end of the sky name ('''excluding Episode One skyboxes''') to prevent texture stretching.}}
<onlyinclude>
<onlyinclude>
These skyboxes are available to {{hl2|2|suf={{{suf|}}}}} and most games and mods using the {{Source|2|suf={{{suf|}}}}}. {{Note|{{l4d|2|suf={{{suf|}}}}}, {{csgo|2|suf={{{suf|}}}}}, and other newer games may not include any or all of these skyboxes.}}
These skyboxes are available to {{hl2|2}} and most games and mods using {{src13|2}}, the {{orangebox|2}}, and earlier branches. {{note|Newer or standalone games, such as the {{l4dseries|2}}, {{portal2|2}}, or {{csgo|2}} do not ship with nor use base HL2 content, and as such may not necessarily include these skyboxes. The skybox VTFs and VMTs from HL2 can be used in any Source engine game, however.}}
These skies are [[HDR]] capable if mapping for games that support it.
HDR versions of all skyboxes except {{code|sky_borealis01}} and {{code|sky_wasteland02}} are available by appending {{code|_hdr}} to the sky name. HDR skyboxes are only available with {{src07|1}} ({{360}} {{ps3}})/{{src09|1}} ({{PC|1}}) and later.
</onlyinclude>
{{Note|While {{src04|3}} (since {{dods}}/{{hl2lc}} engine update) and {{src06|3}} does support HDR, no default Half-Life 2 skybox (except Lost Coast) on this branch is HDR capable.}}
{{Note|Map sdk_vehicles is not included in Half-Life 2 and it's series. Valve has made it for mod making purposes to make players try map and check if their mod works.}}

Todo: Update Brightness/Ambience value to match 20th anniversary update, while keeping the old one from Orange Box/pre-20th anniversary release.

This is a list of Half-Life 2 skies, along with 360-degree panoramas 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.

Note.pngNote:For HDR-capable games, the _hdr prefix must be added to the end of the sky name (excluding Episode One skyboxes) to prevent texture stretching.

These skyboxes are available to Half-Life 2 Half-Life 2 and most games and mods using Source 2013 Source 2013, the Orange Box branch Orange Box branch, and earlier branches.

Note.pngNote:Newer or standalone games, such as the Left 4 Dead seriesLeft 4 Dead series Left 4 Dead series, Portal 2 Portal 2, or Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Counter-Strike: Global Offensive do not ship with nor use base HL2 content, and as such may not necessarily include these skyboxes. The skybox VTFs and VMTs from HL2 can be used in any Source engine game, however.

HDR versions of all skyboxes except sky_borealis01 and sky_wasteland02 are available by appending _hdr to the sky name. HDR skyboxes are only available with Source 2007 (Xbox 360 PlayStation 3)/Source 2009 (PC) and later.

Note.pngNote:While Source 2004 (since Day of Defeat: Source/Half-Life 2: Lost Coast engine update) and Source 2006 does support HDR, no default Half-Life 2 skybox (except Lost Coast) on this branch is HDR capable.


The table below explains the prefixes used in map filenames.

Prefix Location
d1_trainstation City 17 before the teleporter accident
d1_canals Route Kanal & Water Hazard
d1_eli Black Mesa East
d1_town Ravenholm
d2_coast Highway 17, Sandtraps
d2_prison Nova Prospekt
d3_c17 City 17 during uprising
d3_citadel, d3_breen The Citadel
background Menu Background Maps

Only outdoor maps that have both skyboxes and light_environments are referenced by this list.

Note.pngNote:For clarity purposes, the skybox examples shown here have been stitched together in the style of an HDRI texture seen in modern engines. Source does not support HDRI textures.
