im guessing that in radiant the"skybox" tab is to create a sky for your map correct? and if so, how do you minipulate it to to fit over your map?
my goal is to have a nice simple blus sky

thanks

thanks for the reply, i have tried that but when i add the texture, it tiles it. is there a way then for me to strech the texture or scale it to cover the entire sky?

Are you talking about radiant or in-game. It normally tiles in radiant and should be fine in-game.

[FSK405|ZELLIS]

its tiled in radiant and in the game if i make 4 walls with a celing and use a sky texture, it shows the texture tiled.

there's something wrong wth your sky shaderif you have one

look at how the skyshader is done in other maps and fix your sky shader



If you dont have a skyshader then youve got to make one for that texture


Here's a night-time skyshader:


textures/ut_suburb2a/chnightsky
{
qer_editorimage textures/ut_suburb2a/shm_nightclouds.tga

q3map_lightImage textures/ut_suburb2a/nightsky_light.tga

// light values tuned for -gamma 2.3 -compensate 4
q3map_sunext 0.7529411764705882352941176471 0.8627450980392156862745098039 1 35 52 76 2 8
q3map_skylight 45 3

surfaceparm sky
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm nodlight

skyparms textures/ut_suburb2a/env/sky 512 -
nopicmip
{
map textures/ut_suburb2a/shm_nightclouds.tga
tcMod scroll 0.0045 -0.0075
rgbGen identityLighting
}
{
map textures/ut_suburb2a/shm_sky_mask.tga
blendFunc GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA GL_SRC_ALPHA
tcMod transform 0.325 0 0 0.325 0.1075 0.1075
rgbGen identityLighting
}
}

the shader references in bold is what makes sky textures look skylike in game. The sky texture has to tile though if you plan to make it move. regardless.

Make sure you apply the shader to the skybox, and not the texture.

ok i have a image called box11.tga this image is located in :quake3/q3ut3/Env/box11/box11.tga. I have a shader called box11.shader. this file is located in: quake3/q3ut3/scripts/box11.shader.
here is the shader file...

textures/jeffj/box11
{
qer_editorimage textures/jeffj/box11
surfaceparm noimpact
surfaceparm nolightmap
surfaceparm sky
q3map_sunExt .9 .9 .9 80 90 25 2 64
q3map_lightmapFilterRadius 0 64
q3map_skylight 50 3
skyparms env/box11/box11 - -
}


now in radiant, i go to load "jeffj" from the texture tab, i clicket it, and it loades a series of textures but never my box11 shader or texture.
what am i doing wrong?
the file im trying to load is from the "skybox_pack" from the map-depot.


thanks

It'll be fine. It should show up in-game when you do a compile test and run it in Q3.

[FSK405|ZELLIS]

you see one of my problems. when i open jeffj in radiant, there are no shader files. box11 is not there. im doing something wrong but i dont know what.
