If you watch this fragmovie i posted link for down below,you will notice that sky on multiplayer maps are custom coloured.

Basicly it's done like new map but with green sky and therefor you can key out that specific color into any you want.

Now the question is how to add custom sky in multiplayer maps which will work at the end and to be able to use them as you watch demos and taking screenshots for fragmovie.

Opening textures in .iwd files won't work because there is no texture for sky.Only basic textures for walls etc.What i'm looking for is to find for example me_sky_backlot file and change it.

Offcourse for all multiplayer maps ,strike,vacant etc.Thanks for help, i hope i posted it in the right forum.

I received your website contact submission (not really for that purpose, but I understand).

Based on what you asked me in the email, I think you may be asking the wrong question.

I don't know anyone from around here that has tried to do what you are asking, changing the skybox to a specific single color (green) and then keying it out in a video editor for transparency.

However, we may be able to help if all you needed to do was change the color of the skybox. I can't be sure if that is going to work do to shadows, lights or anything else. I don't expect the sky to be affected by that, but I just don't know.

What you want to do is replace the sky textures with the solid green color. It will require you to make custom sky textures and probably save them in dds format.

Start here: http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-452.html

Then you'll need to figure out how to insert the textures used in your map. That would either be by assigning the textures (sky) in your custom map or replacing the textures (sky) for an existing map.
