Hi TWHL Crew, having a problem with rendering distance in a map i am making. The walls disappear at very short distance. When looking across the map the view will gradually change to the skybox texture. How do i render the visual distance longer to see all of the map and not have it be replaced with the skybox.

Thanks you guys are great

Ok, let say for this purpose i am using the enviroment map tutorial that i downloaded from this site. So you have the map. I have unpacked both GCF's from half-life and counter strike. I have used the following names testing cl_skyname change. I am using Steam CS.

CS GCF
backalley - badlands - blue - city1 - cx - de_storm - Des - doom1 - DrkG

Steam cstrike/gfx/env
3dm747 - 3dm_bikini - 3dm_stuka - arizona - ark1 - ba_moonlg - bahrain

Half -Life GCF
alien1 - alien2 - alien3 - black - city - cliff - desert - dusk - morning

Just name a few.

Yes, i never use the cl_ in the name. I have tried many from the list on the tut. I have tried many from my grx/env folder. None will change the sky. Is there a way to code the sky name in?

I had already downloaded this tutorial and attempted to change the cl_skyname in the tut. Tut has morning as cl_skyname but comes up 2desert when compiled. Tried to change to several names in the list from the tut and still the sky will not change. I just tried it on a friend of mines comp who i am teaching and on his comp it will not change either. Strange

I thought it was bad mapping to create a hollow box for sky purposes? I have read many many the TWHL tutorials and and forum pages. This is a great website for teaching one to map. My compliments to you all. But this problem has me perplexed. Thanks again

I have tried that, still come up default sky. But how do you find a skybox in hammmer 3.5? I am not using hammer 4

Greetings TWHL, Hope this forum is still active. I have tried to search the forums for an answer to my ??? but search brings up no answer. I have made maps for cs 1.6 before and i am now getting back at it.

I cannot change the cl_skyname. It comes up the default 2desert. I have changed it to every skyname i can find. Even the ones in the my env folder and the default desert still comes up. Can anyone explain this error to me. Thank You
