[Jonah64100]

[UWLPancakes]

[WiagraCss]

[themrfj]

I can't seem to install any of the two skyboxes in this file: wwwDOTmediafireDOTc0m/?mgdmmfm­ykjy

Could you help me?

[themrfj]

@themrfj Nevermind.

[WriteXRiot]

Opening pakrat> Choosing my map> 2 Files are comming up> Clicked auto> Says FOUND NO FILES TO ADD.

I did add a custom skybox.. I started mapping 4 days ago so I don't really know if this stuff is outdated

[Jimbothenoob]

Good info, but your videos would benefit from taking a page from 3kliksphilip's book and going for brevity. This video could easily be cut down to one minute.

[TheSpaghettilolz]

can u use these skyboxs for any other gamemodes such as gmod ?

[Marcusyaho]

Deathrun happy land? -.-

[shoter123546564]

thanks very much :D

[toothpaste8760]

this did not need to be a 745 minute video.

[DarkminiStoned]

Ok right ... i know how to make a custom skybox .. but if my friend dont have the skybox .... they see no sky at all. Any video to How to attach skybox to your map ?

[FroggerPL]

ok i know now why^^ i lookd up at CS .. not CSS

[FroggerPL]

all the files i download are ".tga" ... how i make VMT ??

[zzrezz]

@FroggerPL google "VTFedit"

use that program to open the TGA and save it as a VTF.

now this is important, you NEED to have your skybox textures in a games "materials/skybox/" folder, open each VTF with vtfedit again and create a VMT of each.

[cortorboch12]

you dont actually need pakrat to do this, you can just copy all the files that correspond to that skybox into duplicates of all files leading to them and add them into the zip or rar you are creating to give others the map.

[BionicBadgerFromHell]

@cortorboch12 It's bad protocol to require the user to manually install assets, especially when they may be installed in the wrong location, overwrite existing data, or have conflicts.

[cortorboch12]

yeah i know, i figured that out about 3 days after that comment. its pretty old, and i wasn't expecting anyone to reply.

[cortorboch12]

are you a chick?

[Piedoom0]

go blender

[Gkthepwner]

Is that a pirated Garrysmod I see in you Program Files? :O

[Jadon159]

Your hollowing method for making a skybox is bad. It will work fine, but not good for optimizing. For your fullbright deathrun maps it's fine, but if you even make a REAL map you have to worry about good FPS and best methods for optimization.

[OGMO11]

I did this, with my own sky texture... in photoshop everything is seamless, but when I go ingame it suddenly shows seams...

[Feynry]

*under the planet* nothing can be under the planet, for in space there is no north west south east. in space there is only a direction based on the facing of something.

[5lug]

word.

[Majescoo]

When downloaded that program you said, will ppl be able to see the skybox then? (:

[Francis115pinoy]

fuck fullbright maps!

[darkpivotpro]

It was a wip map... I don't add lighting untill the map is done, also this was like a year ago. I'm way better at mapping now.... plus my voice isn't high pitched like this anymore. lol

[Piedoom0]

it wasnt even full bright...

[Piedoom0]

sorry, skipped around-my fault.

[Francis115pinoy]

lol, it's ok

[rwlnd1987]

"just click yes" hahaha

[DoffyElfunk]

u fucking used 5 min to get to the fucking shitty point

[Ob1BlowMe]

did not work can some one help

[dsbmaster2]

Why make a tutorial that lasts 7 min when you can tell all that shit in under 3 min?? :/

No offense!

[darkassasin66]

well be a good turorial if the FPS banana wasn't fucked up.... D:

[angrypanda999]

HOT DAMN!

[angrypanda999]

don't have a skybox folder in ...cstrike/materials

is this normal?

[darkpivotpro]

Yes it is, just make one.

[DoffyElfunk]

[sweede8]

P12

[MarioMan10CP]

Hey i have a skybox mpa100 and i tried to add it to the map and it didnt work. The skybox wont show up. Its a css skybox though and i dont have css so would that not make it work?

[darkpivotpro]

No, they're custom. Just make sure you're putting it in the materials folder.

[67tr876]

did not work

[ewokmyweewok]

5 stars. learned a lot from this tut.. will be watching more.. thanks

[haloharley15]

AHAHHAHHAHA

You cant be under a planet, there is no direction in space, only your perception. Fucking noob.

I kidd, thanks for the tut.

[paimail21]

Vrey helpfull thank you!!

[Kingp0ngsa]

if youre making it with hollow u often get portal flow and Wth u dont have a sky under you -.-. btw bad tut ^^

[darkpivotpro]

... How is it a bad tutorial.

[Kalzu0]

ye, this shows the custom skyboxes and how to get them and install them so kingp0ngsa this is not turotial how to make "perfect" skybox!

[mastermindsro]

Ignore haters.. Thanks for the tutorial!

[ntwiles]

I don't have CS I have Half Life 2. Does anyone know where to save skyboxes for Half Life?

[NarrowFire]

is there any other skybox textures that come with hammer editor that i dont have to download?

[flyingcheesestudios]

alot of them

[zackery2master]

Thank you.

[haji770]

hey where do I pu my files if I dont have css. and only hl2 dm.

[jackmanlol]

brilliant tutorial!

now i can finish my space zs map!

[gmodman999]

what if u want a different skybox for hl2?

[darkpivotpro]

Same thing. The css skyboxes work for any source game. I've used them for css, synergy, hl2, hl2dm, and gmod.

[Wal3330]

i dare you to say that to your girlfriend (if ya have one)

[IRZOMBEH]

Girls don't have balls. I don't even know what to say to you. Your just a fucking dumbass.

[Wal3330]

[IRZOMBEH]

How did i get told you fucking retard. You said something that made absolutely no sense. Your probably just his 6 year old friend.

[Wal3330]

it did make sense, you just dont relise it

[darkpivotpro]

Hahaha

[SamDavid11]

[haloguy922]

Awesome, love your tutorials.

But how do I add the textures to Half-life 2?

[Kamrua]

You had fullbright?

Bad boy!

[darkpivotpro]

I always add lighting when I'm done with the map. (That map wasn't done).

[Morgan1Hicks]

Listen if ur creating a server to show off a map you should type in console sv_cheats 1 then bind v noclip so whenever you press v you fly around to reduce dying.

[darkpivotpro]

I know that... I've known that for over a year now. I died on purpose. I do that a lot. :P

[ljungan11]

Thanks man, helped me alot. :)

Peace.

[JeppeTD]

[PepperNOR]

[thewolfera1337]

[darkpivotpro]

Well that nothing that you learned is what the video was made for. Sometimes you need to read the title of videos.

[jpb11380]

[darkpivotpro]

... I was 12 here, I'm 13 now.

[jpb11380]

than u have a really high voice

[darkpivotpro]

...

[Sliction]

Oh, nevermind I worked it out. Thanks.

[Sliction]

Yeah I understand that, but the wierd thing is, I don't have a materials folder in there.

[darkpivotpro]

than make one and name it exactly like this

materials

[Sliction]

Well, I have folder options of: bin, config, ep2, episodic, hl2, patches, and platform. I am confused on wich one to put it in.

[Sliction]

Hey I havea question, say I want to make it for Half Life 2: Episode Two, I couldn't find a skybox folder anywere, could you tell me were I need to put the skybox folder?

[darkpivotpro]

You put the skybox folder in the materials folder.

[paimail21]

my map does not work

it acts like there is a giant leak

the skybox does not work

PLEASE HELP!!!

[darkpivotpro]

You didn't put it in your css folder in the right place.

[paimail21]

C:\Program\Steam\steamapps\pai­mail\counter-strike source\cstrike\materials\skybo­x

is this wrong?

[darkpivotpro]

That's exactly right.

[paimail21]

Then why does my map leak???????????

it is lust like there is no skybox at all

[darkpivotpro]

Maybe you're not typing the filename right. Check the page where you downloaded, even in the comments, it may say the right name to type.

[paimail21]

down-under512

is that wrong for the planet skybox?

[darkpivotpro]

try down_under512

[paimail21]

still not working :(

[paimail21]

i try with another skybox and make sure that it is COMPLEATLEY right spelled

still giant leak

[darkpivotpro]

It's in the materials folder, than the skybox folder, right?

[paimail21]

Hey!

i figured it out!

i simply put an underscore at the end:

example: flowsky06_

[wazerzeke]

Nice Video man

[DrivenCoD]

thanks heaps man. ur awsome

[TNLman]

AWESOME TUTORIAL!!! Iv'e serched for these things in quite a long time ;)

[MegaLith18]

alphadude go f*** ur mum.

okay to the point when i go on materials (folder) i have no skybox filder shuld i create one?

[darkpivotpro]

yes

[MegaLith18]

okay =D

[Satzen123]

i mean

alphadude500

[toxic996]

do you know how to make a server for free? nice vid btw

[alphadude500]

thanks a lot fucking kid why don tyou get your big brother to do this

[Satzen123]

st fu asshole get life just becouse he can do more things in editor than you ,you cant call him fcking kid for that,youre a real idiot

[alphadude500]

WOW you're wrong on sooo many levels.

"just becouse he can do more things in editor than you" Trust me. I can do MUCH more than this kid in Hammer than he'll ever do. Nice assumption, though. I'm also not calling him a kid because you think I'm jealous(for absolutely no reason), I'm calling him a kid because he physically is a child. Also, don't call me an idiot when you can't even spell "stfu", "because", "you're", and so on. Hypocrite. Oh, and I have a life, and it's a great on. Fuck off kid.

[alphadude500]

Oh, and don't bother replying. You'll just end up making yourself look likeeven more of an idiot.

[alphadude500]

*like even

See, I corrected my typo. You, however, have an abundance of misspelled words and meaningless accusations based on nothing. At least I make sense when I "argue".

[darkpivotpro]

I appreciate you trying to defend me, but you don't have to. It's not a big of a deal when people insult me or anything. As for what you said saying that you can do more than me in hammer, that may be true, but I have become a very skilled mapper.

[alphadude500]

Right, and for the record, I never said I was better at Hammer than you, I was just telling this guy who directly assumed from nothing that I was terrible at Hammer or that I was jealous of you.

[theswirlyman]

Thanks!

[yhprumx]

thanks dude, very helpful :3

[JamesFoil]

Ugh I put it in Skybox and shit all files and i dunno what the map properties skybox name.???!"

[Godzillarr]

1. There is no skybox folder in cstrike/materials.

2. I need this map for gmod.

3. I tried taking the skybox folder from the download and putting in the materials folder and typed the name and it didn't work.

Help me!

[creazieproductions]

or you can just include the texture in the download and save your self the trouble of getting java and pakrat. :P

[rabid99z]

I tried to make a skybox like this but the inside in camera view is all dark. When I zoom out I can see the box lit up. When you made it the inside was blue. How do I fix this?

[Xerangelo]

did you make the box hollow?

[darkpivotpro]

ctrl+h

[supr4]

handy

[Xerangelo]

i didn't ask how? I asked if Rabid99z made it hollow -.-

[darkpivotpro]
