Default Sky Box?

Parasite

Ok this is the first time Ive tried implementing a custom sky texture for an NS map. Ive done it for a few CS maps some time back and I remember it being very straight foreward....just change the cl_skyname entry in map properties right?

The map I am trying to use is "td2" in the NS "env" dir. anyone care to tell me *exactly* what I need to enter in map properties? and Is there another step I am missing?

The twelve sky images must be in halflife/ns/gfx/env
The name entered into the map properties must be the exact name of the images, without the ft/bk/etc. portion at the end of the filename

So a sky series called bob_ft, bob_bk, bob_lt... would be entered as: bob_

thats a general Hammer thing, so the same for any mod

Parasite

GAH! thats what I thought....WTH is wrong with my hammer? I just reinstalled it and its doing the same thing...default sky box no matter what is entered in the properties... :/

Parasite

Ok..another reinstall of Hammer and now its fine...anyone know why I cant launch maps from console or LAN in any mod?

I reainstalled HL and still...any chance it has anything to do with the .dlls I had to DL with XP Cageys tools?

Ollj

because your reinstalled VHE does not know the directories of HL and NS?

Do a clean install of everything and try again
