Using Custom Skys

Avitar

<div class="IPBDescription">It always shows as default in game....</div> I am sure this is a noobish question but...

I want to use a custom sky (cl_omega) by darkATI ...

So in the editor i entered omega into the environment map cl_skyname property i put "omega".

Before compiling the map I also placed the 6 *.tga files: omega_dn, omega_ft, omega_bk, etc. in the half-life/nsp/gfx/env directory (using NS beta 3).

it didn't work so i put them also in the directory: half-life/valve/gfx/env/ directory.. and nothing...

Somewhere I cam accross a note about having to type in a special rcon command in the console.

So i issued the command:

rcon sv_skyname omega

Still nothing but the default sky in game.

So how do I use the custom sky?

Will all the servers that use my map have to run this rcon command? (if so i would make an entry in the readme.)

DarkATi

Use the name "_omega" with an underscore, all my skys are named like that.

Thanks... I will try that.

Paladin

Wait!
It's not "_omega". For Skynames you always have to write the full name of the file without the extension dn, ft , bk etc.
In this case try "omega_" . DarkATI propably just mixed it up.

I know... I caught that after i did a compile... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Thanks for the note though; hopefully it will help others.
