The air is becoming cold and bitter as the sun sets over the desert mountains. A falcon cries as he flies over the abandoned mineshafts. There are only a few last hours of light, maybe even less. Make those hours count, BLU team! kill each and every one of them! eh, I mean, capture the control points.

This is my custom skybox (modified goldrush skybox), made for a map long dead.

Includes a bonus skybox: another modified goldrush skybox, made for fun.

The sun sets. The smokestacks of the foundries are seen clear against the crimson clouds. The dust and smoke of a day gone are slowly settling down. It may seem that the day has ended, but for some, it has just begun. The machines start working again, smelting red-hot iron. Wake up, RED team! Defend the industrial area from the bombcart! Make your administrator proud!

Archive in download link includes: All required files for making both skyboxes functional (or should do it, at least...if you have a problem w/ them contact me)
and a notepad file including best env_light properties for sky_sunset (however, none for sky_iron because I never used it)

You are welcome (and even encouraged) to use the files for your map, just don't forget to credit me!

You are not allowed to re-post these files in any other website.
You are not allowed to claim these files or a modified version of these files as yours. (Apart from the notepad env_sun properties one, which you may do whatever you want with)


All rights for original goldrush skybox go for Valve

DOWNLAOD!

Done some testing with sky_iron. Lighting looks crazy (some may say ugly) but teamcolors are defineable, so it should be fine.

Brightness: 220 75 50 700
ambient: 35 4 1 60

(that white thin lines you see there around the skybox? that's me messing up photoshop canvas size. I'll fix it)

Brightness: 255 57 0 700
ambient: 55 6 1 60

(this one is probably too much. blue almost looks like green, red almost looks like white)

The shadows are way too dark, and it is really over saturated.... I would recommend making the shadows lighter and turn down the red. Look at Furnace Creek
