Sky Shader Problem
2004-06-19, 6:33 AM #1
** I believe there was a problem similar to this earlier in the year. Although, I don't want to look back in Massassian history for it...

Any one know what is going on?

I'm using dm_coll as my sky shader.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Come on, I really wonna start on this Level... for my project. I've got one building (almost done)... the one I'm standing in, and looking at the wierd lights. Later on next week, I'll begin to make skins/weapons for an upgrade of the project. PLEASE HELP.

The problem is that you can't put the brush which has glass on it and the brush which has sky shader on it touch each other. There must be some space between them.

Heke7, there is a space between the glass and the sky shader. A very BIG space. Picture it as a small room, with a Greenhouse type building in it. That's what the level is like... so far.

I could get another screenie of it, but you really won't see anything because of the sky shader... problem. Help... PLZ! [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif]

First, fit the glass shader to the pane. All those ugly spots will go away. dm_coll might look like that anyway...I don't have JA, but try another skybox instead.

Make the glass detail.

Oh dear God. That brings back memories (hey HistoryGuy, you been snooping around my hard-drive again?). I experienced the very same problem in my first map (way back, when i was utterly clueless about mappimg..... this hasn't changed much [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif])

Anyway, the problem your seeing is caused when you look at an un-sealed world through a pane of glass. There are a few skyboxes in JA that just plain don't work (they seal the world, but don't render and subsequently you see "the void").

Replace the skybox with one that works, compile, test, and then report back with some pics to show whether or not my suguestion worked.

What gothic said. There probably is nothing wrong with the sky shader at all. Its your room and all the glass needs to be made into a detail brush by pressing CTRL + M when the brush is selected. That should fix your problem.

OK. I'll try it later, right now, my dad wants me to work. [http://forums.massassi.net/html/frown.gif] Possibly around Tuesday or Wedsnday, I'll post a couple of screenies of my level for my upcoming project. And than, hopefully, the website.

Thanks for the help!

I found out the problem. It was the skyshader I chose. I changed it to a different one. I also found a leak in my map, but doesn't matter, I'm gonna work on a different skybox, and start the level over again. It wasn't that big. Thanks for the help though.

See all those dark spots on the windowpane? Select the panes, hit S, then hit "Fit". No more spots-Surface Inspector sounds like a detergent...
