I can't figure out how to add a sky. I can't find it in the texture library. I tried searching for them in every esf folder there is. Am i missing files or am i dumb? Could someone respond quickly so i can finish my map.

Add the .wad in the valve forlder called "Halflife.wad"
once added look for a texture called "sky"
in order to make a sky make the outside of your map walls with the "sky" texture on them.
Normally the sky is just a box arounf your map.

Yeah, in the editor it is blue, but in the game it renders a sky onto it.
To specify which sky you want, in Worldcraft click on the Map menu, then click Map properties then on Smartedit, click on the environment map attribute, then type in the name of the sky you want rendered to it ingame.
Here is a list of all of the skies that come with Half-Life. (http://collective.valve-erc.com/index.php?doc=1037472496-69804100)
