Title: Sky Texture problems
Post by: baronofhell on January 12, 2007, 08:42:09 AM

I tried to load a skybox and I dont see the texture on the box.

(http://img147.imageshack.us/img147/3787/skytextureproblemic6.jpg)

This is what my shader file looks like (skyboxtest.shader).

Code:

textures/skyboxtest/skyboxtest_skybox
{
qer_editorimage textures/skyboxtest/skybox1.tga //blue square
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm sky
q3map_sun .5 .37 .19 155 -60 25
q3map_surfacelight 130 

skyparms env/skyboxtest/skyboxtestsky - -
}

I have added it to shaders.list

My images are env/skyboxtest/

Can somebody help?

Thanks

maybe its a problem with your jpegs, the engine will not load jpegs that are saved with progressive encoding.

Converted the jpeg files to tga. Still doesnt work :(

Also, converted the jpegs to non-progressive jpeg and tried the sky box. Still the same problem. Any ideas?

Are the jpegs in the /env/skyboxtest/ directory?

Yes they are.

have you tried this:

Code:

textures/skyboxtest/skyboxtest_skybox
{
qer_editorimage textures/skyboxtest/skybox1.tga 
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm sky
q3map_sun .5 .37 .19 155 60 25
q3map_surfacelight 130 

skyparms env/skyboxtestsky - -
}

once I changed the env path, the box was dark, I didnt even get the default sky texture. :(

I also get black patches on my terrain.

I also get black patches on my terrain.

I used bspc from shaderlab to create the bsp file and it removed the black patches. :)

I still am not able to get the skybox to work :(

Try increasing the angle of the sun, currently you have it set at 60 degrees, try 90.

Thanks for replying.

In the previous screenshot I'm using an existing sky texture that works. Setting the sun at 90 did not work either.

I'm going to uninstall everything and start again.

Sorry to bump this up again. I got the sky to work. I had to modify the shader as below

textures/skies/skyboxtest

and the tga file under this folder. Looks like the engine recognises only textures under "skies" as sky textures.
