Skybox not showing; problem with my Sky object?

by D B · in Torque Game Engine · 04/10/2006 (12:07 pm) · 2 replies

My skybox for my custom map will not show for some reason, and is replaced instead by fog. I have been trying for close to a week now to get my skybox to appear, but nothing has been working.

I originally posted a question about this in the Mapping forums, which consisted of the problem and all of the solutions I have tried out, but no one had any answers, and I am running out of viable solutions to try.

I was hoping I could get some suggestions here, since something is wrong with my Sky object, and I'm wondering if it is a programming problem or a mapping one.

Thank you.

Try not using same name on the textures and the dml file !

I changed it, but it had no effect.

I believe I have found the problem, but I am still somewhat unsure if this was the problem.

I had taken my TerrainBlock out of the level, and from what I found when I was messing around, the TerrainBlock is where the SkyBox is located, as when I was above or below the terrain, all that was there was fog.

I had originally thought that the terrain was a sort of "interior", or just a piece of land, and that the SkyBox was kept separate from it, but it seems that the Skybox needs the TerrainBlock.

Would someone be able to confirm this for me? This seems to be the case, but I want to make sure.
