.Map :: MoHAA Mapping

I get a strange occurance with my skybox in multiplayer in my new map. When I press esc and goto choose a team menu my skybox goes dark. I found that entering a farplane causes this. Im not sure if it's the skybox that's going dark or my farplane. What is my problem here and what is the solution?

It may be your vid drivers. Does it happen on other peoples's (:?) pcs also?

I dunno. I guess I'll screw with this when i give it to my mod crew.

You probably just need to set the farplane color. This is from the m4l0 script:

Code: Select all

level waittill prespawn
	local.tempstring = "0.25 0.15 0.1"
	setcvar cg_playermodel 0
	level.farplane = 25000
	level.farplanecolor = local.tempstring
	
	fadeout 0.1 0 0 0 1

	huddraw_alpha 100 0

	exec global/bomber.scr
	exec global/ambient.scr m4l0

	//	exec global/weather.scr 3500 (0.333 0.333 0.359)
	exec global/friendly.scr
	exec global/door_locked.scr

level waittill spawn
	fadein 2 0 0 0 1
	wait 2
etc...

Alright I'll try waht you showed me but I already set the farplane_color in radiant to .333 .333 .333. and the farplane to 3400. Why does doing it in the script change anything?

Plus jv or someone please try and help me to figure this out. When Dr. Deleto and Hobbs play any new map I make now it does that with the thick grey color on the skybox or farplane. I sent them a few of my unreleased maps that i just compiled and they saw it too. If I don't assign a color to the farplane I don't see it when I press esc then goto team select in mp but if I do I see it every time.

I'll try what tltrude suggested but I don't even want to map anyfarther until I figure it out.

I had a similar problem. My sky didn't show up at all in the game, but a complete reinstall fixed that for me. I didn't have any sky in any of the originals maps either though, just the far plane color, so it might not be related.

Alright now I am worried. I reinstalled completely and with nothing in my main folder, started a server of crossroads and had the same damn problem. It does this on my laptop too. What is going on here?
PICS

Well after the 5th person said they saw the same thing apparently this is an error in the game. I advise anyone who cares to check for themselves. But since this is a normal error I will go back to mapping my car.

Have you tried updating your video drivers and DirectX? There are settings in Windows desktop properties for applacation background color that may effect it too. It may also be your video and advanced settings in the game.
