Skybox issue

[ZeroRaven]

So I'm using a custom skybox set, well trying to. Problem is in game the sky is the white/grey grid and accouring to the console I'm getting a "Lightgrid mismatch error".

I looked at my shader file and all looks good. I cant figure out what I'm doing wrong.

this is the shader I'm using
 

textures/skies/Narsh_final
{
 qer_editorimage textures/skies/sky.tga
 surfaceparm sky
 surfaceparm noimpact
 surfaceparm nomarks
 notc
 q3map_nolightmap
 skyparms textures/skies/narsh 1024 -
}

Is the shader in your shaderlist? If Q3Map2 does not load it, it won't know that it should not create a lightmap, which could be the cause of that error.

[ZeroRaven]

the Skies.shader is in the shader list. its one of the default shaders

[mrwonko]

But you didn't add that shader to skies.shader, or did you? I can't find that in my skies.shader.

You need to add to the shaderlist the name of all custom shader files of your mod for a correct build.

I think I would point the shader  to a custom folder, rather than to a default assets folder.

Also if you're making a map, I would personally have all shaders in one common .shader file (but it depends on the size of your project too I guess).

 

For example

 

textures/CustomMapName/Narsh_final

skyParms textures/CustomMapName/narsh 1024 -

 

But what's really important is what you name the .shader file itself in which you store the sky shader.

If you call it "RavensCustomSky.shader" you have to add RavensCustomSky to the shaderlist. The "skies" entry doesn't matter here, because it refers to the shader file called "skies.shader".

Boothand is right

I actually thought of that while I was at work. Figured that was my problem. Such a noob mistake too.  
Seriously we need a facepalm smiley on here. LOL

Why didn't I think of that?

I just added it.

 

A smiley would have been no more ironic if it had already been there though.
