Maybe you have better luck at mapping forum

since it riquires a script file. i tought that the scripting section would have been more apropriate. but whatever. i simply need the help.

okay.

make your textures 512x512 pixels sized jpegs

name your textures:
mysky_bk.jpg backside
mysky_dn.jpg bottom side
mysky_ft.jpg frontside
mysky_lf.jpg left side
mysky_rt.jpg right side
mysky_up.jpg top
(just the orange part...)

put them in a folder main/textures/mymap

write (in notepad...) a shader for them:

Code: Select all

textures/mymap/mysky
textures/mymap/mysky 
{ 
   qer_keyword utility 
   qer_keyword sky 
	qer_editorimage textures/mymap/mysky.tga 
	surfaceparm nolightmap 
   surfaceparm noimpact 
   surfaceparm sky 
   skyParms textures/mymap/mysky 512 - 
} 

save this as mymap.shader in main/scripts

open your map in mohradiant, look up the texturefolder mymap, and texture your sky with mysky

always distribute your map WITH the textures and the shader.

there was a typo (red)
