Sky Is Black

I just reinstalled Windows & all my programs. My problem is this:

I open my map in Radiant and all the textures look fine, but after I compile it for testing the sky is completely black. I tried my custom sky texture & mohday1 sky texture. Still black.

Any ideas???

Heres a pic of it:

I noticed that some custom maps have black skys if my graphic options are low, when they are high the textures are fine.

You must have had r_fastsky set to 1.

Question: What do I need to do, so if I make a custom map, and I want to play it with my video options in game set low, I can still see the sky? I useually set everything as low as I can.

Don't really get what you mean, but r_fastsky is a cvar that controls the way the skybox is drawn. If it's set to 0 (default), the game will draw a nice sky using textures. If it's set to 1, the game will just clear it with farplane colour.

If I set my graphic options in moh low, when I play custom maps the sky is black. The stock maps don't do this. I thought maybe there was a way to make a custom map that would show the sky witht the options low. It's not a big deal, I got use to not seeing the sky.

Set r_fastsky to 0!
