Skybox Helper Script

Description
This is a simple script used to change the skybox on any map based on the skyboxes it finds from your search paths.
you'll find the script under the script menu, on the menubar.


This script also shows you a preview of the skybox, if the image exists here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Sky_List


Optional: How to set up reading the image from the vtf file itself
1.download VTFLib v1.3.2 Archive---> https://sfmlab.com/project/file/download/19110/us/

2. move the "vtfedit" folder to "SourceFilmmaker\game\workshop\scripts\sfm\mainmenu\" and thats it. the script should now show you a preview image if it doesnt exist here: https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Sky_List



Note: some of the skyboxes it finds may not work, you need to check the console for errors to see what the problem is.
if you want to try to do it manually follow this guide http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=716509115#1197298


*******known issues*********
1. The script doesnt show up.
your gameinfo.txt might not be formatted right or has errors in it, it should look like this https://www.dropbox.com/s/2fuduxao1w2en7m/gameinfo.txt?dl=0, replace yours with this one temporary to confirm.


feel free to modify the script for your own use
if you find any bugs or have suggestions message me in the comments below.
