Sky is black (and yes i use a shader one)

(Commeric) #1

I have been struggling with this problem for atleast 2 hours and still i can’t find the answer.
I search at the forum, read a dozen tutorials. But my sky is still black :(.

I have a terrain created with EasyGen it works well. Then i made a large hollowed box around it and give it the texture sd_goldrush (and yes its a shader because it has a white line around it).
I also add 2 lights in the center of my map with the value 9000.
If i compile it and start the game the terrain is nice but the sky is pitch black :(.
I also tried other sky textures but they are mostly an orange grid with black. And some others(like sd_goldrush) are black.

Who can help me out? Maybe someone got a simple map with a sky. So i can see what i do wrong and copy past it to my map. When i open goldrush.map i see so many lines i don’t understand which one is the sky :wink:

edit:
I just drawed a little box inside my map and gave it sd_goldrush. And its transparant. If i set \r_shownormals 1 then i can see 6 little dots at the corners of the box. I can stand on it but i can’t see it (except the 6 little dots).

Load up the goldrush map and use the editor filters, here is list of sugested one’s to use …

SHIFT+M = Show/hide all models
CTRL+D = Show/hide all DETAIL brushes
CTRL+P = Show/hide all patches
ALT+2 = Show/hide all entities
ALT+4 = Show/hide all transparent textures - mostly clip brush stuff
ALT+8 = Show/hide all paths - the lines going everywhere

Learning the filter menu and its shortcuts is your friend. With the above filters you will see the skybrush, its the dark blue one! :wink:

Screenshot of what it looks like in game would be cool? You are not running your system with fast sky enabled? (/r_fastsky 0/1) Do you see skyboxes in the offical maps?
