Day of Infamy Map, lighting/sky box issue

[Guest York]

I'm currently working on a map based in Puys, France (dieppe raid) I uploaded my txt and bsp, and below I attached the last normal compile log without HDI checkmarked.

 

I've been mapping for some time, learned most of it through trial/error before youtube was really a major thing and DoI mapping has been more of the same being that many things did not transition from DoD:S its a fairly different way of mapping.

 

My issue is that while in game the skybox will look normal up till you are looking at it from an angle (like pointing your crosshairs strait up) it begins to flip from a pleaseant day to a gloomy dusk. I had worked through some displacement errors in the compile hoping to have that solved the problem, but to no avail. 

any help would be appreciated, and thank you!

I recommend taking the entire compile log through this sites log checker http://www.interlopers.net/errors/

 

It will give you advice on how to proceed if there is an error in the compile log, it could also be something caused outside of the compile log

 

Since I do not have any screenshots of the error I am unable to make an assessment

Okay,

Here is the specific error. Notice I only moved my cursor in the air slightly.

 

This has been annoying to say the least. I have changed the skymap I have played with other lighting settings, fixed (all?) the problems in the compile. Also, the interlopers checker came up with nothing in the compile log. I know I have a few textures that are pinging in the compile but, again, while I know a little bit about the technical side, not all by any stretch. I have also attached the .bsp and .txt files in the first post. If you have DoI and are willing to see it ingame it might help identify my problem more clearly if the screen captures do not.

I understand that this might be a awkward thing to ask for but could I have the vmf? I will check it when I come home and see if I see anything crazy

[Radu]

That's how HDR works. You can try to tweak the exposure parameters through an env_tonemap_controller entity. Read more about it here https://developer.valvesoftware.com/wiki/Advanced_HDR

Alternatively, copy the light settings and skybox from Saint Lo.

Okay, not sure why I didn't try this in the first place. I began cordoning off and checking the map in pieces, found out that a water texture I was using was causing my problems. Thanks to those who helped.
