Description
It's another Void Map!

However, this one is a bit different. This void map is:
1. essentially the maximum hammer editor size
2. the edges of the void are skybox

So instead of havin brick or black walls, it has skybox all around. Packed into the map file is a black skybox.

This means that you can set and save a skybox of your choosing if you want to use a skybox from an existing game.

Since the void is essentially as big as the editor allows, that means you can swap just about any DMX to this map and still have everything visible (also a bonus because of the skybox'd walls)

---HOW TO SET AND SAVE A NEW SKYBOX---
step 1: be in clip mode and have the map loaded.
step 2: click the plus button with a small down arrow near it (in timeline), and add track group
step 3: scroll down to your new channel, and right click it
step 4: add a new channel track group
step 5: right click the new track group, add a command trigger
step 6: in the dialogue, type "sv_skyname <skynamehere>"
step 7: press OK, scrub over the clip to make sure the skybox updates
step 8: place the trigger clip on the first frame


---ALSO---
If you right click the viewport, and enable other entities, you can gain access to the ground plane! The center of the ground place is at exactly (0,0,0), so you can use this to help you navigate the map.

Huh. Void really stared back, didn't it ?

Is there a skybox that works well here? The default ones for HL2 stretch vertically for some reason.

Can't believe I'm the first to give it an award considering how many people use this.

Nevermind, I moved the timeline window to another area and the button popped in.

I've been trying to search that one plus button but I can't find it. Closest thing I could find, within the timeline window, is a button that leads to bookmarks without anything mentioning "add track group"

Thanks for this! Removed the restrictions and the little damn light in black_void! Making it more easier to make posters using sky without having to use the actual maps.

yeah. it's sky_goldrush_01. It needs to be exactly what the filename is. If you mistype the filename, then you get the error. You gotta find the exact name
