for those who do not work skybox and you are sure that sky_ was added and up, rt were removed, so I had this problem but I fixed it, all this time in the walls for skybox was the class color_correction_volume I changed to func_detail and the sky worked, check the wall class for your skybox

[@SirYodaJedi]

A skybox can be a func_detail? I would think that would cause a leak, since func_details are effectively invisible to the vis compiler. Unless you have a solid world brush behind the skybox, which is… nonstandard.

Guys, importing a custom texture, assuming it's a texture that you made, is a complex process. Each texture is made up of several different files. The main files are the VTF and the VMT files. The VTF is the texture itself. The VMT is what the game reads. It basically tells the game how the texture should be rendered in game. If your custom texture is showing up as the dreaded purple-black checker texture, you're doing something wrong. It might be a simple typo in the VMT, or perhaps there IS no VMT for the file you're trying to get in the game, in which case you'll have to write one. I couldn't tell you how to write one if my life depended on it, but I'm sure there's a guide somewhere on the internet. Instead of asking on the comments here, try and find another video on the topic.

Gameplay first. Graphics later, m8s.

[@JoeNuts42]

VMT = Valve Material Texture

im really hapy that you started doing tutorials again. i even learned something new here C:

[@joechristo2]

If you don’t add a skybox there’s the hall of mirrors effect, just so you know (or if you don’t add things covering the background

[@Aluxious45]

I finally figured out how to fix the issue where your brush textures show up invisible when you compile. You need to go into each .vmt file and remove the entire line that says "$ignorez" 1. After saving all six .vmt's with that removed, your map will show up again. Hope this helped even though this video is several years old.

[@rsho3472]

Where do I find that? I don't know what you mean, and I can't find any forum or anything that explains it, all my walls are invisible, I can hear my footsteps, this happens only after putting the sky

[@Aluxious45]

@@rsho3472 Ah, hello. It's been a really long time, so I'm trying to remember exactly. I think you need to go into your game files, locate the sky texture you're using, and then find the .vmt files for each of the sides of the skybox. I.e. skybox_day_rt, etc. Then, open the .vmt files and add the "$ignorez 1" parameter, then save. I hope this helps.

I have the same issue some others have below, where I dont have the skybox textures mentioned in the tutorial. Would I be right in saying if I want a CS texture for example, I need to import it into hammer?

[@Combine7355]

hey, when i add skybox in portal 2 map, my map are turn invisible in game, when i remove skybox my map back to normal

[@celdaemon]

u probably used a nofog skybox. if u want a skybox in portal 2, u will need to import custom skyboxes separately

i did this and have a skybox but now its showing the entire map in the skybox as well

[@notkanye8770]

There aren't any skyboxes that work in the game. You can use sky_white, but that's literally a white skybox. The only one on the sky list that looks real is the l4d one, which doesn't work.

[@fasulimac92]

thats true :c

[@Demobnector]

I have a problem. Somehow, there's no textures shown for the sky box. It's only a pitch black, how can I fix this? I tried to do the same thing as you do but it doesn't work.

[@joechristo2]

You need to use an actual texture use the browser thing

[@xgaz3r499]

hi , i did all what u have showed but when i F9 and i enter in the map , all walls disappear and the character seems stuck with all the skybox spread on all brushes. can u help me please?

[@Euroliite]

I've read or been told that only one face should be textured with the skybox and the rest should be left nodraw. Does this have any effect on the performance of the map or compile times?

How would you go about creating a hydrocolliders?

To any and all that will help, when I upload my map (To counter Strike source) its like I didnt even put the Skyblock texture. I still have the same Dev black boxes. Not sure if its the same black boxes as the rest of the people. I cant seem to find a fix.

that sky can only be used in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. if you're using gmod or sfm then you need to mount them with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.
