Not a cloud in the sky :(

[Galdin]

My problem is pretty straight forward. I have tured every thing on in the sky&cam section for the sky, but when i look up, i never see the sun, clouds, stars or moon. ANy ideas and suggestions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

Are you using the latest driver for your video card? And you can post the contents of your error log? (So we can rule out missing textures )

Which OS are you using, are you using the release binary or a version you have built from CVS? Is there anything of note in your error or info logs? Could you post a screen shot of the sky?

ALT-F puts you in first person mode. That might make it easier to look up and get a good picture.

i cant post a screenshot for some strange reason. there are notes of missing sky textures u can see them below.

 

and here is the rest of my error log

any other things that u see and can help with are very much appreciated thank you

[bluap]

With the missing sky textures and the helmet errors it looks to me like your install is a bit broken. Are you sure your data_dir value in your el.ini file is pointing to the correct place? Could it be pointing to an old version of the data? If all that appears OK, I suggest you reinstall EL.

[Galdin]

excellent alright thanks alot

[Galdin]

Ok i did everything i reinstalled it i updated my video drivers and still nothing. Any ideas?

If you are still getting the texture errors in your error log file then it still might be that your data_dir is set incorrectly. When the client starts it tells you your data_dir in the console "The location of the data files in use is ...". Check that is where you installed everything. If it is not you need to edit the el.ini file in your settings directory. Again, the client tells you what this is when it starts with a message in the console "Your personal settings and logs will be saved in ...". To edit the data_dir, exit the game and open the el.ini file, search for a line beginning "#data_dir = " and and edit/save as required.
