When I put a big box around my map, make it hollow, and give it a skybox texture, it messes everything up!

It looks as if I have a leak almost.

It makes my ground textures basically disapear, and I can't fix it unless I change the sky texture.

Make sure you're using the texture: tools/skybox and not one of the actual sky textures. It should be a light blue texture with white corners that says sky (or skybox) on it.

Also, don't surround your level in a hollowed out box. That slows down the performance of the level. Instead, build the sky to align with the walls of your level. So it's more of a sky lid then a sky box.
