help. how add l4d skybox in csgo sdk?

 

[spaly]

maybe just copypaste them out of the materials folder of l4d into csgo's and pack them into your map?

I've done some research on skyboxes just earlier today, and apparently you have 6 textures who all have suffixes depending on where on the imaginary sky cube they are. You need to drag these 6 vmt and 6 vtf (12 in total) into csgo's material and create just the folder hierarchy that you have your textures in in l4d. If it doesnt work (box is black) I have found that in the vmt, replacing the first line "sky" with " "GenericUnlit" " (double quotes intended), will do the trick.

 

Not safe about the things mentioned above, and I also dont know about copiright with this, but you can try it

First you need a tool called GCFscape (google it) to look at all the materials packed in L4D2. 

Once you get GCFscape, drill into your L4D2 installation and open up Steam\steamapps\common\Left 4 Dead 2\left4dead2 pak01_dir.vpk

Inside here you can find all the skyboxes under materials/skybox. Just search for the one you're looking for. Most of the time there are 6 textures that you need to make up one skybox (front, back, down, up, right, left). There should be a .vtf and a .vmt for all of these making it 12 files that you need to make one skybox.

So for example if you want sky_l4d_predawn02 you would take these files: http://i.imgur.com/uW4UYxQ.png

Put those in your Steam\steamapps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive\csgo\materials\skybox

They should show up in hammer's texture browser once you restart it. Hope this helps. Just know that some skybox textures from L4D2 look a little strange in CSGO. I'm not really sure what the solution is to that. Certain ones will work though..
