Hello all .
This is my first post on this forum , and the site is fantastic ! - The video foyleman made was perfect , without that video i wouldent be there were i am now .

I have a problem . I have made a "map" - actually , i have made a box , put another box into it , and cut it out , so there came a big hole in it , like a garage - then i have created 2 rotaiting doors so i can go out and in .

Look at this picture: http://peecee.dk/?id=38367
This is what happends when i start up in the map , i think it is the skybox thing , but i really cant find the skybox thing anywhere .

Please help .
Many thanks to the people who answer back .!

This is an error that results in the HOM effect (Hall Of Mirrors). This happens either when a texture cannot be found or there is a portal without anything on the other side. I am betting it has something to do with a missing texture.

Did you perhaps setup a skybox and specified an incorrect sky attribute?

One of the things that can help is looking at the console. Press ~ and look for stuff written in red. This indicated an error and it will list the missing textures. This will help to locate the problem.

If you need help after you figure out (or think you figured out) the error, let us know with those details that brought you to the conclusion.

See, I want to figure out if this is a missing texture (Which I think it is) or if it's a portal error (Caused by the CSG subtraction you did with the two boxes). If it's the texture, I want to know which texture... a standard wall texture or a skybox texture.

Omg :o - its foyleman . damn !!

Is there nothing surrounding your map? You must close your map into a box. If you textured this box with the sky texture then it would become your sky texture.
When you rendered this map, you should have seen an error stated as "LEAKED".

Enclose your map in a box, recompile and try it again.

Now i can play the map , but !

It still says Resize parent (panel(Background) -> parent(CViewC4Panel)) not sized yet!!!
Resize parent (panel(Background) -> parent(CC4Panel)) not sized yet!!!

Is this important ? - or can i just leave it as it is?

That error is not too important, however it sounds like you incorrectly textured your skybox. That might be the cause of this error message. Your skybox (if you want it to look like a sky) should be textured with the blue sky texture. It has the work "sky" printed on it. Is that what you did?
