changing the skybox texture

[Force Whut? =/]

I'm looking for a way in SFM to change a skybox texture within sfm, without having to decompile the map, change the texture of the skybox within the map and then re-compiling it. was just looking to see if anyone found a command for it or not. much thnaks for help. =)

You could replace the texture file it uses, but other than that I'm pretty sure you'd have to decompile. Not sure how skyboxes work though.

Texture replacement should work, but overall lighting might look silly.

I tried texture replacement like it works in regular DOD:S, but that didnt work for sfm. I guess I'll have to reompile =(

so far decomping the map, changing the skybox and recompiling it isnt working. everything goes fine until it gets placed in sfm's folders.

ok i found the command to change the skybox texture in the map

sv_skyname "skyboxname"

but the problem is still happening =P
I want a certain skybox to load but its not. I have it in the usermod/materials/skybox folder and everything. any suggestions?

sorry for all the posts. but i solved it.

i had to go into the vmt files for the sky_06_hdr's and change the basetexture of the hdr ot be the same as the none hdr ones(the skyboxes i wanted in hte first palce). reloaded SFM and the right skies were loaded. more explicive solution:


"sky"
{
"$hdrbaseTexture" "skybox/sky_dod_06_hdrup" <--had to remove "_hdr" from all the vmts
"$nofog" "1"
"$ignorez" "1"
"$basetexture" "skybox/sky_dod_06up"
}
