I maked a long tunnel so you can run trough.. but it was a leak in.. so i putted a sky around my map... but when im in the tunnel i see the sky out... but when i come closer... the tunnel wall comes upp... i want it to be scary... can i make so i wont get the sky there when i complile

Make the tunnel shorter - it exceeds the Maximum viewable distance.
Or, you could RAISE the maximum viewable distance, but that would increase r_speeds.

so does a skybox. shame.

/me dumps a bucket of shame on zeg

in Hammer, go to:

Map / Map Properties, change the max viewable distance to 8192

cool didnt know that your a saviour to me and my map pack

best way to fix it is to make a curve in the tunnel *in my opinion

a.k.a "vis blocker"

Or, you could RAISE the maximum viewable distance, but that would increase r_speeds.

Incorrect. Polygons beyond the maximum viewable distance are being rendered. They're just not visible.
Although there is a certain compile parameter for Zoners tools that implements distance into the visibility determination... I've never experimented with it though.

As for your map, ZeG, you should fix the leak instead of creating a skybox. I assume you know the disadvantages of the skybox method?
