brrr! its freezing in here!

[Thadius Dean]

in my map that is

but seriously, i have a map goin, and whenever i load it up and test it, the game will freeze; but only if i try to look up at the sky, or if i go too far from my spawn point. im guessing that it has to do with my light_environment or skybox, because i could go and run around my map fine without them, but then i added those too, and it went all BIZARRO on me. im sad.

;(

Are you sure you don't have a leak? Is the lightning correct or is it really bright?

 

[Thadius Dean]

well, ti, i was thinking that for a little bit, but first of all, the lighting was correct besides those annoying bright spots. and also ive had leaks in my maps before, and i dont think that a leak would crash the game. plus im pretty sure i have no leaks in the level, so im completely clueless. ;( ;( :O

 

[Thadius Dean]

ok, i changed out my light_environment to a plain light, and it was totally dark, just like the map is suppost to be like with one light. but it still froze. stupid map. :angry: ;(

EDIT: now i took out the light entirely, and everything was bright like there was a leak, but it still froze, im going to get rid of the sky and put a light in and see if it freezes then. :O

EDIT: ok, took out skybox, put light right in front of me, just in case it froze, and everything worked out right, i could walk around and everything. but i couldnt see the light. so im guessing it has to do with the skybox, ill try to make another one again.

 

[Thadius Dean]

well, i did some stuff, and it still doesnt work, although the light does. i cant look up at the sky or it will freeze, so i dont know if the sky is rendering or not. this really sucks.

 

[Thadius Dean]

well, ive tried everything. it just wont work. i have no idea what is wrong with my map. i guess i just have to wait untill someone who has had the same problem comes along and tells me how they fixed it. but no one really comes to this part of the forums much anyway. o well.

Are you sure that no sky brushes are overlapping? Or did you do the big sky box trick? And did you try a Full Compile? ... It's really hard to guess since I can't see your map... If you want to talk to me on MSN : [email protected]

 

[Thadius Dean]

messenger? i just have AIM. and im sure no sky brushes are overlapping. and what is the big sky box trick and full compile? i just save my game and press F9 to run my map. then i open counterstrike-play cs-lan game-create game-then run my map.

o.m.g.

my skybox texture was cliffe. it didnt work.

my skybox texture was 2desert. worked like a charm.

im just blown away at what a simple problem that was. sure i would like cliffe better (i think) but who cares?

MY MAP IS WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
