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).



Press Apply, then test it out. Your map should have a proper skybox now.
