Relax, breath take a chill pill, re-read your post before you post it. I'm sure we can fix this for you :biggrin: . Now, I need you to post a picture of the problem, I think I know what you are talking about though, and if i'm right, than its your graphics card.

Do you have a crappy computer tnkqwe?

i think you scared him off.

It doesn't make sense, he was on 3 days ago

well he probably didn't like the "do you have a crappy computer?" part, so he left, steaming.

If you put in a name for your sky that you don't have corresponding files for, the game will display that really annoying pink/black checkerboard pattern. double check that you have files for the sky you're using in the env/sky folder. Reminder, if the sky files are named beach_dn, beach_up, beach_rt, etc. the correct name is "beach_" with the underscore. I know there's a few skyboxes circulating that are silly like that.

yeah, he left. i don't think he'll be coming back anytime soon though....

But I did.It's was just a false sky texture from my.wad I made my self.So watch it when you are making a sky texture.My advise is just ti copy a sky texture from some where.
sorry if i have mistakes with the rwiteing

... Accepting your own answer.......

Or you could do the sky properly. Each of the 6 sky textures must be 256x256, in the right tga format, and end in lt, rt, bk, up ...

Where did you go wrong?

I ment a valid texture in the *wad file.

Skybox textures don't go inside .wad files. They have to be .tga's, and go in a specific folder - where all other sky textures are (can't remember which folder on top of my head).

What does go inside the .wad is a texture named 'sky'. How that texture looks doesn't matter, it will be invisible in the game and instead, show the real sky. It's really just a way to let the game know where you want the sky to be visible.

So uhh, what exactly did you do and what did you expect to happen? I really can't tell what exactly your problem is...

The 6 tga's go inside half-life/valve/gfx/Env. Have a look inside there and you will see all the other skys.

As Captain P said, the sky texture basically lets the engine know that you want sky to be rendered on that surface and if you have a light environment, light needs to be calculated during a compile.

I mean the sky texture in the *wad caled "sky" must be the corect.

Yeah, it has to be called "sky". Not "sky2" or "1sky" or "mysky", just sky.
