mortar problem

(IndyJones) #1

mortar is being eaten by my skies. how do i fix it? i have made a tracemap when there was only one big skybox.

Your “Streets of Italy” does the same thing, you can’t use mortars as they explode them they hit the skybox.

Make sure you have ‘surfaceparm sky’ in the script.

i had streets of italy on my mind :wink:
here is my sky shader:

textures/italy/wolken
{
	qer_editorimage textures/italy/qer_sky.tga

	q3map_lightImage textures/italy/sky_detail1.tga

	q3map_sunExt 0.4 0.4 0.45  400 -30 45 16 12
	q3map_skyLight 140 3

	surfaceparm sky
	surfaceparm noimpact
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	surfaceparm nodlight

	skyparms textures/italy/env/sky 1500 -

	nopicmip
	q3map_nofog
}

as you can see, there is a surfaceparm sky… :frowning:

Seems like you have every thing you need. I had this problem once too, or some thing simular but I can’t remember what I added to the script to make it work.

Is the skybox fully chaulked? And then did you face select + texture with your sky?

my sky brushes have sky texture from all sides.

They should have sky texture on visible sides and caulk on others.

i’ll give it a try.
