Sky textures not downloading to client. Created 1 month ago2024-03-27 01:53:35 UTC by GameDrained

So I had assumed files in gfx/env/skyname.tga were automatic downloads and that's why they weren't generated by resGen.
But then I found out clients were only seeing default skys.
So I added them to the res file. But they still weren't getting them.
I had to gather the files and send them directly to client.
Only then could they see the sky intended for the map.
So what am I doing wrong?

Only .bsp and .wav are automatically downloaded, other files need to be specified in a .res file. Sky .tga files should be downloaded just fine, make sure you specified them correctly. Enable developer mode by entering developer 1 into console and see what is happening when you try to connect to the server in question. If you are using a dedicated server, enable developer mode in it's console as well, or use the command line argument -dev when starting it, forgot which one it is.
