How do you add a custom sky?

[[RAW]Fusion]

i downloaded a skybox file called skybox.bb and i was wondering where i place the file? i found in hammer it just says 'enviromentmap cl_skyname' and then a box and i was wondering does the file i mentioned go in C:\SIERRA\Half-Life\esf\gfx\env because there are no files of that type in there, they are all TGA files but look like sky textures Oo

err sky formats are in .tga files. anyways you put them in the env/gfx folder. also there should be 6 differnt variations of the textures. look in there and see.

hmm

well i've never heard of a .bb file...maybe it's an archive? Try sticking it in env with the .tga files and try putting in the name of it (without the .bb) after the cl_skyname.

Normally, skies are split like a cube into 6 .tga files:
NAMEft.tga
NAMErt.tga
NAMEbk.tga
NAMElf.tga
NAMEup.tga
NAMEdn.tga

pretty self-explanatory what it all means, and in this case you would put NAME in the box for cl_skyname.
