My map's sky is always black!

I have Spearhead and Breakthrough expansion packs and I have the Spearhead SDK editor. Whenever I make a map and compile and try and play it the sky is black even though I put a sky texture on it. I open Breakthrough to load my map. Might that be the problem because Im using Spearhead SDK editor? Or if not how might I make my skies work?

Some sky's don't work, try mohday1 and don't try to scale it.
Apply it to your sky box Don't hit shft crtl left click.
Highlight the whole thing by just left clicking on it.
don't need caulk.

good luck

PS. don't think it matters that your using SDK

when a sky doesnt work it usually just comes up tiled like u see in the editor. how u apply the sky to ur box doesnt matter, u can do it howere u like, caulk or not, certain faces or not.

It may also be something to do with your worldspawn settings ( just a random thought ).

Theres a worldspawn excel document for your edification on this very site in the essential files section, maybe take a look at that.

I had a similar problem when i tried using Breakthrough in Spearhead Radiant. I posted the problem on this the forum a while ago and no-one could come up with an answer and I think the general conclusion was that Spearhead SDK didn't support Breakthrough. Other BT textures don't work and ther's loads of other problems I came up against.

Alright I will try ur suggestions, and yes im sure its not suppose to be a dark sky texture(lol). So ur saying just select the whole brush and apply the sky texture cause I tried that already and it doesnt work, but if you mean to just apply it by hitting shift cntl and clicking that doesnt work either, I have tried a lot of ways and it still is being weird but I think it just might be a sky texture not supported on breakthrough or spearhead? I dont know but thanks for the suggestions!
