Hello all that imcompase the fascinating world of level developement and also those of you that still play Half-Life 2: Deathmatch.
I've recently doubled back on an old project that never really got the time or attention it so needed.
mainly because i've encounterd some basic problem that i cant seem to fix.
(some problems with the fog)

But heres the map, enjoy, bash, play.

petty serious.

It should work fine as long as your sky_camera has the exact same fog settings as your env_fog.

Aha, ok so this is what leads me to believe something is wrong; i have all of these settings from the env_fog_controller matched up with the sky_camera ent and yet i still can't get the blend between the skybox and the fog.
let me upload some photos realy quick, this isn't an uncommon topic but i haven't seen a solution.

Sorry mate, thought you were a bot. In the sky_camera change the fog distance to 1/16th, or .0625 of the env_fog_controller settings. That should fix it since the skybox is 1/16th smaller than the regular map.

I just checked some of my old maps with working 3D skyboxes and this isn't the case. The sky_cameras use the same fog values as the env_fog

Odd, thought it was worth a shot anyways.

i think my sky box scale is actaully 32 and not 16, though im still not sure if that would fix it because it doesnt seem like the scale is really the problem

[MaK]

Put the same fog distance in the sky_camera as the env_fog, the scale doesn't matter. Make sure the fog colors and direction are the same too, and that the env_fog is enabled.

i think im just going to leave it the way it is for now, the skybox blends pretty well and its not extremely noticable...

god does it bug me though...
