EDIT, propper fix:

If you have no skybox/shitty lighting in your new created map, no fire sounds and weird zombie anims this seems to be the fix:

Change the decimal symbol for windows. change it from , to . it's in your Country & Language options. Then reinstall the mod-tools and everything should work propperly.

Nice tut, shame you didn't get the tools earlier, I'm sure you could have already done some great things with them by now. You're obviously catching on fast though

Haha, well this was pretty much laid out for me. Like i mentioned this is also described in some .pdf's included with the tools. Just a matter of taking the time to look through stuff..
I dont think i'll be doing anything too crazy anytime soon, want to finish up the Realism Mod first. I'll just be messing around in BO3 a bit while doing so

That skybox doesn't exist.

Note: all this is described in \root\docs_modtools\SunSky_Light_SetUp.pdf

If you have no skybox/shitty lighting in your new created map, this is how you fix it:

-Open APE
-Create a new GDT if you'd like

Now we can start:

-Choose "New asset" and a popup-box will appear
-Asset Name, name it whatever you like. Asset type: SSI and choose the GDT you want to create it in
-You can mess with the settings, use these if you want to be safe:
(Image removed from quote.)

-Next, create a "new asset" again. Again name it whatever, and this time choose "image"
-Use these settings, you can use any .exr image you like ( i found some in \model_export\t7_skybox\  for example )
(Image removed from quote.)

-Next create a new asset again, this time choose type "material"
-Use these settings, and for the color_map use the image you created in the previous step
(Image removed from quote.)

-Now again create a new asset, and this time choose "xmodel"
-Use these settings, under LOD 0 fill in a skybox model ( t6_props\vista\skybox\t6_skybox.xmodel_bin for example ) and under Materials fill in the material you made in the previous step
(Image removed from quote.)


-Now go back to the SSI ( first asset we made ), and fill in the skybox you created under 'skybox model'
-Now open Radiant, select the sun-volume and where it says SSI 1 you enter your newly created SSI.

-Export lights, link, and run map ( dont expect anything fancy looking, but at least you got normal lighting now.. )

Still cant fix this please help

That skybox doesn't exist.

The one in the pics doesn't exist for me either, that's why i put this in the description:

...under LOD 0 fill in a skybox model ( t6_props\vista\skybox\t6_skybox.xmodel_bin for example

that one does exist for me
(if you mean the skybox in the first pic, just ignore that. Leave that blank, and follow the 'tut'. At the end you make a skybox to put in there. btw tut is now changed.. )

idk why you have to do it, and others dont. Other people get errors i dont get and vice versa..
It's not that hard, just follow the steps.. no need for me to hold your hand allong the way.

If it doesn't work it might be another issue, i know this solved it for me though..

Thank you

  np, so it worked for you?

Doesn't look like anything related to this, but if i read the error you placed an FX in radiant without specifying anything? ( like in waw when you placed a model, and pressed esc and the big PWND model would show up ). Look for the fx and delete it, or just start a new map if it's just the test map..

---

Changed to use a stock skybox, so you only have to create one asset now. Left the old method in the spoiler..

Well it did the trick in radiant. But ingame it is still bugged. Everything is white except when u stand in the shadows.

Ah sorry mate, I found out earlier, but I can't edit posts yet. Thanks for this though.

i removed all fx's and still same error... 

Instead of having weird ass flickering lightning ingame, after following your steps it looks like this..


This is how it looks ingame:

I'm doing something very wrong i guess

Thanks atleast i have better lighting now cause the only skybox that worked for me was zm_factory and it's way too dark.

Would anyone happen to know why this happens?

Another question, does anyone else have no fire sound and "glitchy" looking zombie walking anims?
