[quote]EDIT: Ok, if I SKY the insides (and leave the outsides as NULL), it works.. except it shows SKY texture instead of the sky. Hmm.. tries something
EDIT2: worldspawn is set to use 'test' as the sky, which exists. It's a 256x256 pink and black checker pattern, 24-bit RLE compressed TGA (as a set).
EDIT3: Making the brushes be completely covered with SKY (no NULL) doesn't make a difference.. maybe it is the RLE compression?
EDIT4: Saving them again (from the PSD of the image) with RLE not enabled doesn't make a difference. (FYI, with RLE enabled the filesize is 2 KB and with RLE disabled the filesize is 194 KB.)
EDIT5: Setting color palette to indexed (2 colors counted) with both scenarios of RLE enabled and disabled doesn't change anything either.
EDIT6: Saving them as BMPs too (alongside the TGAs) does not make a difference either. In half-life.gcf, most but only a small handful of skyboxes have BMPs accompanying the TGAs. :X[quote]

Ok, my skybox isn't working. =(

Can you upload your sky?

You have six pictures for your sky, right? (testBk, testDn, testFt etc.)
You place the sky-pictures in correct folder? (...gfx/env)
Correct format? (Default bmp-skies seems to be in 8-bit color depth...)

There's probably something wrong with the texture's name if it's showing a brush with the actual sky texture instead of turning into a skybox. If your skybox name was wrong it would just use the default "desert" skybox, it wouldn't show up as a brush ingame.

Here are the skybox files: http://www.mediafire.com/?mhonnqjezwg

They are in the gfx/env folder.

Also, not all of the skyboxes in half-life.gcf have BMPs tagging along with the TGAs.

The tga's works nice here...

I'm sorry, what's the problem? vluzacn told you the answer in the svencoop forum.

That's because I haven't had a chance to look at it until now (see timestamp of post).

So the problem was the compile tools?

Al-right no problem, Just get the wad from a different tool.

@ Killer-Duck: The problem is an invalid SKY texture for SHLT wad. Thats all, just get a correct wad.
