Map lit brightly around edges and terrain disappearing

Post by Loopy53 »

I am having a weird dilemma. On the very edge of my map there is a bright white line. The terrain also disappears after a certain point. No idea whats causing this. Here are my .sky and .fx files, and a video. Note in the video I didn't raise any terrain so no terrain is disappearing, if you want me to remake the video, I can.

.sky:
Hidden/Spoiler:
[code]SkyInfo()
{
Enable(1);

FogColor(203,201,203);
FogRange(100.0, 1000.000000);

}

NearSplitScreenRange(1.000000, 200.000000, 270.000000);
FarSceneRange(800.000000);
}
}

DomeInfo()
{

The terrain is not unlimited, it has a certain size to it. The line you see looks like where the skydome ends and the terrain begins, just raise the terrain slightly around the edges of the map and it should be covered up.

Alright, I will try that and see what happens. IF the terrain disappears I will post another video.

EDIT: Nope the terrain doesnt disappear but the line is still there....it dont hurt nothing so i guess im okay...if there is a fix post it otherwise solved.

It looks to me like the line's just where the skydome mesh starts mirroring the UVs. If you use a skydome that doesn't have mirrored UVs (I forget which don't, maybe someone else could suggest one) it should fix the problem.

Keep in mind it'll have different UVs so you'll have to modify the texture a bit.
