Easiest Way to make a Skybox Difficulty: Beginner
Category: CS:S > Mapping	Author(s): Did you create this? Request ownership
Ok so this is the easiest skybox ever.. first im going to tell you what a skybox is really.. a skybox is a sky basically that is like our real sky.. ok so lets get started.. ok first after you're done with your map, make a box around it tightly (screenshot B) with the tools/toolsskybox texture.. (screenshot A) then place a light_environment entity in the corner of the map (has to be inside the map not too close to the walls) (screenshot C).. now after adding that stuff, double click the light environment and go to the visgroups tab (screenshot D) then click edit groups and go to the Sky thingy and select its color (screenshot E and F) in this case i'm going to click blue after this im going to click close then go to lights and select the lights color. now close the visgroups and hit save then compile and watch your skybox!

This tutorial is a repost of 4 other tutorials bearing the same name, save 1 or 2 words. the tut is horribly written. the sky thingy? come on. this website needs more mature content to teach with. not kindergarden students for teachers.

For simple maps and beginners, this is an "OK" way to make a skybox... I would not suggest using it on any maps if you actually can make a better one. This is hardly optimal and in more complex maps, can lead to low FPS.

It does what It said on the tin, it made a very simple skybox. However, next time use capital letters, some proper formatiing and some better use of language, instead of saying "thingy"
