    never acutally seen this happen but best guess would be to check the compile log for any errors, and if you are using a valid sky in .tga format ( if your using d3d or opengl) hmm cant really help anymore sorry <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Sounds to me like you have a leak, check the edges around the skybox to whether it is enclosed

    when yopu walk too close to a sky brush it can happen that you see the a hall of mirrors , the void outside the map.
    When you see much of this all of a sudden HL crashes.
    Place invisible brushes, clip brushes or brushes with rendermode color , amount 0 (less r_speeds but skulks can climb on), infront of the sky brush.

    you should also try to keep a nice distance from the edges of the hammer window when constructing your maps, if the edges of your map touch the edge of the 4098x4098 boundary itll cause the final map to crash (sometimes not always).

    It crashed because of your leak, more likely than not. NS crashes when you look at a leak, which is what you must have done. Patch the leak up and the problem should go away.

    I was going to say that... putting clip on the sky would make you do it for nothing, as it's done automatically (edit: you are using ZHLT, right?)

    You MUST fix that leak, then the problem will most likely disappear.

    Recreate the skybox taht should fix the leak. All hl mods crash when you look at a leak
