mirrored sky fx w/ sky txtures W/ shader

(denizsi) #1

Perhaps this has been asked before, if that’s the case then it’s my misfortune that I failed to see it among other 119 topics which were the results of my search.

Yep I’m using sky textures which has shaders, ones with a white border around them. When I test it, it’s that annoying mirror-like effect, you know what. This didn’t use to happen 'till I had to reinstall ET and Radiant. I’ve unzipped the whole pk0.pk3 to etmain, in corresponding folders, but I’m not sure if that could be the reason. Help, please?

The HOM (Hall of Mirrors) effect is no triangle surface being drawn by the engine. Check the console for any errors and then check your shader. Also if you have re-installed your ET again from fresh check the shaderlist.txt (in the scripts directory) has the relevant shader file in the list. The compiler may have missed it out. If none of the above then post the skybox shader you are using, maybe there is an error in the shader.

:moo:

the line ‘skies’ is in shaderlist.txt. I also checked skies.shader and all the shader code is there, here I paste it at bottom.
How can I check console for errors, I mean what I should I write on console? BTW, HOM effect happens only with my maps, both official and custom maps work just fine.

Again, reinstalled Radiant, removing the folders it puts into etmain before reinstalling. Still got the HOM effect.
