Sky texture naming?

[Mike Barnard]

Hi.

Thanks to Peter I've a working sky, but experimenting with the
different sky textures available makes a nice black sky. There must
be a naming convention. Using Peters example of sky_day01_07 there
are six pictures with this in the name. None of them without an "bk"
or "dn" etc in them, yet "sky_day01_07" displays a working sky.
sky_day01_07bk doesn't. I *assume* that to use any particular sky
texture you choose the one you want and enter the name without the
"bk"'s etc.

Not tested with experiments, yet, but there must be a link to a write
up of how this works?

Basically the skytexture in source is not one texture as in HL but you have
5-6 different textures one for each side of your cube
