anyone any ideas? i've tested it over and over making changes but it doesn't seem to do anything 
Been a while, but it looks as if either the sky gets foged out in the first screenshot (don't remember what the VMT line is for that, but there is one I know), and the second one looks like you either leaked or it can't find the sky at all? Compile-log doesn't output any errors or?
i can check for sure at lunch time, but i think the problem in teh 2nd one was that there was no sky with that name so it did a hall of mirrors effect...
i'm sure you're right, something with the fog in the first pic but i've no real experience with that stuff, last time i used hammer was for cs 1.6 
surely the valve example ents wouldn't be giving me a problem?
You have checked for leaks right.
its only a small square at the moment so i just threw a hollow sskybox around it 
Just change the fogmaxdensity on the fog_controller to something less than 1 to see if you can see the sky
Do you have HDR turned on in your console?
yeah I complied with HRD enabled and disabled, to the same effect.
Can't change anything til I get home now (after 6.30) cos I can't seem to login to STeam at work
https://rapidshare.com/files/461519275/bowl.rar is a small rar with the vmf, bsp and all that stuff in it if anyone fancies having a look at it, thanks again. <1MB
Quote from FuryoDo you have HDR turned on in your console?
wait, in my console? is that ingame or do you mean in the compile box?
Oh, that would explain it then. Must be in a recent engine update (haven't really toyed with anything past the OB). Yeah the sky_camera is what you need to project the 3d skybox in the world. Doesn't really matter if there is something to project I assume, just as long as the entity is there. Otherwise just place a few brushes there.
You may want to look what the default scale is for 3d skyboxes in L4D2. Should be 16, but you never know.
yes, the sky_camera in a 3d skybox should fix your issue.
pretty sure default is 32 in l4d2. if it's not set to that, it's at least what the official campaigns use. 16 works, too, though.
yeah every value will work, it's just a matter of not having to redo brushes in there if he is to use models too, cause then the scale wouldn't match.
