A simple night skybox I'm working on. Any suggestions?
Oh and also would sky_nightfall_02 be a good name?

It's kind of weird that there are 2 different types on clouds in the sky. I would keep the stratus clouds and maybe make them more obvious. There's this CS:GO map on the workshop that uses models for them and it looks stunning, so I'd like to see what you can do for tf2!

Though I think I should replace that board with some wooden planks.

There's already a sky called sky_nightfall_01. It would be best to have a different name as to avoid confusion.
Why? That's the whole point of numbering them, isn't it?

As the skybox isn't a recolor of Nighfall's (or Pipeline's, for that matter) I think it's a little weird to name it "Nightfall".

Plus, some people may miss that digit increment at the end, or misunderstand it's use since it isn't a recoloring. As far as I know the only other skybox that does the increment thing is sky_well_02.

Im aware, just because of the similar style, sky_nightfall_0(2) is the name im using.
If you have a different name be sure to tell me!

this will make an industrial type detail pass sooo nice

That's what I was going to do originally but then I decided to put the map on a clifftop, upwards style. So I feel that wouldn't really work. Instead I was planning on doing a Villa theme to it, with the outside areas likely being gardens or that kind of thing.

Is it possible to rotate the swirly particle effect you're using? If you rotate the particle one way as the flow of the effect moves the other, that might be interestingly trippy.

The swirl itself is actually models/props_lakeside_event/wof_plane2.mdl - I could maybe mess with some vmt things, but I gotta be mindful of just how much custom junk I load into this poor map :v

you can also parent it to something rotating, either a momentary_rot_button(?) or two alternating func_door_rotatings (parenting it to whichever one is turning the direction you want when they switch direction)

I'm still annoyed that Valve has STILL not fixed func_rotating for TF2.

I did some retexturing and recompiling:

I think I'll release these for public. They'll be really helpful for people making jungle/swamp maps.

Edit: I can't figure out why but cliff_wall_01 to 09 work perfectly, while cliff_wall_10 and 10a dont use proper textures.

If I leave qc file as it was with this materials part:
$CDMaterials "models\props_enclosure\"
$CDMaterials ""
It loads deafult texture from props_forest.
If i remove second CDMaterials it doesnt load any textures.
