Heh... I know the problem your having.

In your level.txt file, there should be an entry for 'worldsphere'. Whenever you use remedy's tutorial level, for some reason they have the worldsphere info commented out (Comment= // or /* */).

Because it's commented out, it's not read by the engine, and therefore, doesn't get shown. So, when you look at the sky in game, it shows up all freakish.

Get rid of the commenting and you should be ok.

PS. This also happens if you mess up making exits. <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">I hope that maybe helps alittle?

If not, here's something I just pulled off the levels.txt file:

AINodeCastHeight= 0.0; // zero uses room bounding box height[/code]</blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">See where it says 'worldsphere'? that's your skybox. Sometimes on some levels, it's commented out, with either doubleslash ( // for single lines) or Slash-star ( /* and */ for paragraphs). Remove that commenting, and set up the skybox to use whichever one you want. It should help you out.
