Leak-Style Skies

Description
A slight tweak to the HL2 skyboxes to make them appear a bit more "toxic" like they would in the leak.

Unlike mods that outright replace skyboxes, this should work in HL2 with minimal clash to the ambient lighting/sun positions, due to using the default textures.

The fog is unfortunately out of my control, as it's controlled by the map's env_fog_controller entity, so you'll have to find another way to edit that.

It's purely a material edit via .VMT files, so it will work with any .VTF texture replacements.

Credit Where It's Due
  • V92 - Adjustments, materials
  • Valve Corporation - (HL2) original materials/content, leak concepts
  • SleepyNotDead - Request bounty
  • PhYCoZ_x20 - Original leak-style skies concept idea

Alright so it's just more spam, got it.

V92 "sun is leaking" refers to a meme created by a half life youtuber called Noclick, in which he points out Half Life 2 Overcharged sun glitches multiple times.

Can someone PLEASE explain the "sun is leaking" spam?

Yeah, I like the mod a lot, but I'm experiencing the same issues as Arkham'sMostWanted. Black sky for the Ravenholm level and the others they've mentioned.

the true citizen knows that this mod is dark and griddy

Maybe! There is room to make it more dark but i dont think the colors look bad
It gave a awesome and different vibe especially for the coast chapters

Was actually looking at them and thinking they weren't shitty-looking-air enough colored honestly. Don't suppose you think I should play with the colors too? They look a bit less dark'n'griddy and more watersports piss colored.

No problem!! It just caught me off guard but I've enjoyed the mod the whole playthrough!
