So I've been trying to set up a very simple single colored skybox for the defrag map I'm retexturing for Bliccer; though all I get is a hall of mirrors and I really don't know why.
The image file is a 32px*32px plain white jpg file.

Code: Select all

textures/ct_RunZlaugH2err5/sky_white
{
	qer_editorimage textures/ct_RunZlaugH2err5/sky/white.tga
	surfaceparm noimpact
	surfaceparm nolightmap
	q3map_globaltexture
	q3map_lightsubdivide 256
	q3map_surfacelight 600
	surfaceparm sky
	q3map_sun 1 1 1 70 320 70
	skyparms textures/ct_RunZlaugH2err5/sky/white - -
}

I'd be glad about any help.

I believe you must have a cloudheight value and the farbox is usually a set of 6 textures.
skyParms farbox cloudheight nearbox.

That said, why do you even need a skyParm when you have just a plain white texture for sky?

Code: Select all

textures/ct_RunZlaugH2err5/sky_white
{
    q3map_sunExt 1 1 1 150 320 70 3 16    //primary lightsource
    q3map_skylight 100 2    //radiosity lightsource, better than surfacelight+subdivide. 
    surfaceparm sky    //kinda required, eh?
    surfaceparm noimpact
    surfaceparm nolightmap
    surfaceparm nodlight
    qer_editorimage textures/ct_RunZlaugH2err5/sky/white.tga
    {
        map $whiteImage    //Q3 has a built in white image, just use this or set your own.
    }
}

See Q3Map2 shader manual for details

Aye, thanks for making that clear. I guess I should have figured it out myself.
