You export your map file and it saves it as a .bsp

How do you make it look like it is outdoors?
Like so you can have open roofs?

Make brushes where you want the edge of the map to be. Select them all, press 's', and tick "sky".

no, not a box, just a box top... kindof
unless you want to be totally outdoors

Use the sky textures already included. Make a brush which would be like your roof and apply one of the sky texture to it.

Krewzer: don't just give them a sky texture. Give them the sky flag, or arghrad gets confused. The game will automatically apply the texture, at the right distance.

I don't understand what the difference is? Your just changing the tag to make something which is already existing... sounds like more work and more confusing. I'm not sure why arghrad would get confused... seems I'm the one that's confused.

The sky texture sets the sky flag by default.

When a brush has the sky flag, it doesnt matter what texture it is.

Meh, sorry, but I can never actually find the sky texture in my BSP, so I always though people were converting .wals and stuff so they could use the skybox textures.

Ok, this is a basic BSP glitch that I have encountered quite a few times, basically go to file>Save As, and then save it as something, then compile it.  If you just try to compile it as the default.map, it may not compile properly.

Remember, save first, then click the compile button.
