Probably elementary, but I converted a map I was working on in COD4. I applied a brick texture to my skybox to see where everything was.

How do I now change to a COD5 skybox and add the most appropriate worldspawn?

All assistance appreciated.

You create it in the exact same way as before, only you need a new KvP of "skyboxmodel" "skybox_hol1", 'hol1' can be what ever skybox model you require, theskybox models can be viewed in the asset viewer which launches from the waw launcher.

You also need to add your skybox model to your .csv, otherwise the sky will appear blurry instead of animated.

What is the best placement for the skymodel?

Should the tip of the diamond be at ground level?? Ive tried a few different ways and still have a problem when I look around in the map. When I am at the edge of the model I see the sky texture I added but not the model when I look away. When I look at the center of the model I see the model again...

Thanks

Don't add the skymodel as a model ie. misc --> model. Bring up your Worldspawn settings by pressing N and add it there with a Key of skyboxmodel and a Value of skybox_pel1 and then press enter to make the change.
