maybe i don't have a problem, but just don't realize it... however, the texture for the sky doesn't seem to be a sky. it can be shot, and so on... so i'm not sure my texture "worked." i'd send it to you to see what you think if you'd like. i guess my question is, how do i know the shader file functioned the way it should? is there a minimum size a sky box should be made? i'm not sure - 'tis the noob mapper in me...:D btw, styder, how'd you get to know so much about this tool? and, also, i greatly appreciate the help. when i can afford to upgrade my membership here, believe me i will...:D Gr33nMan

lol....i cant understand why people just figure i knew everything from the start...i have a good memory...but cant remember where i put it my 'guess' would be that you have incorrectly constructed your skybox make sure that your sky texture is on all six interior sides of the skybox, and that nothing is touching it a common mistake is making the bottom of the skybox the ground texture, and then the shader wont work make sure that the box is big enough to fit your entire map inside...take a look at the tut i posted on this here

alrighty.... adjusted my little test map. nothing touching skybox. still the same results. the "sky" can be shot, hung, drawn, and quartered without protest. any other ideas? thanks! Gr33nMan

Have you extracted the sky textures from the pak0.pk3 file, and put them into your cod/main folder? Do this: How to get sky Textures in the textures Drop down menu Now you can add the sky textures with ease. Try shooting these textures

i changed the sky on my skytest to pathfinder. flare ran a little differently - the last line of the compile showed something was done. when i tested the map, i couldn't shoot the sky - it stayed in the distance and acted as it should. i've done something wrong with my sky, but i'm not sure. so here's what i did: i found a starry sky image and took 512x512 chunks out of it for front, right, left, back, up, and down. i saved those as jpg's. i created the tga representation of it. i created the shader as noted in a prior post. so, what did i do wrong? or, is there more i have to do?
