Changing the 2d Skybox Texture

Overview:
This tutorial was made so people who wanted to change the skybox texture but didn't know how could learn. I think other people have a tutorial similar to this but it applies to a different tutorial, so to make it easy I am making it separate.

Sky Textures + Environment:
The following is a list of the sky textures that are available in Counter Strike Source. To make the sky look right, you need to change the settings on the light_environment.
The numbers underneath the names are the proper settings for that texture.

Tutorial:

1. Using the list above, look for a suitable sky texture that you like. Then, to apply it, go to Map>Map Properties and click on SkyBox Texture Name, Type in the name of the skybox you selected (e.g. I used militia_hdr, so i will type in militia_hdr).

As mentioned by SGT_kick_ur_ass, the tutorial itself is good, it has good information and it may be very helpful.

However the text formatting could be better, you need to make your tutorial look clear, easy to understand. Add some pictures illustrating what to do and how. Underline the main highlights and change the font color when you point out something important.

Lot of things can be done to improve your submission.

It's a good tutorial, but there are some things that would make it easier to understand.

Start off by adding some pictures to it, like show the pictures step by step of how to do it.

You should also use some HTML formatting here, bold the numbers, link the actual URL and make the more important things stand out.

Good Job overall.
