I thought they were available in CSS, (on wrong computer to check). If they're in sourcematerials.gcf, aren't they available to all source games? -mungo

  • They are indeed in sourcematerials.gcf, but I'm not actually sure if CSS can access them - those are in the counter-strike source client.gcf file. --AndrewNeo 11:00, 6 Jul 2005 (PDT)

My guess is that all files in all gcfs are available to all games. However, you wouldn't want to use a CSS sky in a HL2 level, because a user might not have CSS installed. But everyone will have the gcfs with source in the title. Can anyone confirm?

  • CSS can use the skyboxes listed. I suggest we sort the skybox page according to where they come from. And it is incorrect that you could use a CSS skybox in HL2, because HL2 does not load the CSS GCF file. --AndrewNeo 13:06, 6 Jul 2005 (PDT)


  • Consider it never said. ;) --Treb 05:57, 19 Oct 2005 (PDT)

I'm on it. For legal reasons, I'm taking the info from this post instead of hl2world. —Maven (talk) 11:26, 18 Oct 2005 (PDT)

Fog Values

Could someone perhaps add the recommended fog colours for each sky?

  • I'll look into it. It might require a redesign to get it all to fit properly, but I'll see what I can do. --Bwmathis 13:12, 28 Nov 2005 (PST)
  • There are multiple env_fog_controllers in most maps. For example, there is one for when you're watching the intro with the G-Man in the d1_trainstation_01, one for the citadel in that map, and one for the actual trainstation area. --Bwmathis 11:51, 18 Dec 2005 (PST)

"3rd party Skies"

May we add our own skies here, if we follow the current layout of course and adds a new part for them? --Hipshot 16:07, 10 Jan 2006 (PST)

  • I don't see it being a problem, as long as the skyboxes are available to everyone to use. I'd suggest adding a link to download the skybox texture when you put it up. --Bwmathis 17:17, 28 Feb 2006 (PST)

Different sky

Exactly how do you apply a different sky i would like to use sky day01_07. the matter why because im using two skyboxs. the player travels in the day for a while, goes underground then when he comes back to the suface the sky has went from day to sunset or evening in this case. thanks for taking your time to read this and thanks for the help.
