skyboxes dont work for me

I dont know if im doing something wrong or not, i have 6 512x512 hires images... all png format. they load into xwe fine without pallete changes. then I have a lump called "DOOMDEFS" and in that lump is

Code: Select all

skybox sky1 
{ 
   sky1_ 
   sky2_ 
   sky3_ 
   sky4_ 
   skyub 
   skyfb 
}

i know thats the names that are used in the sample on the front page, but i named the textures accordingly. What goes wrong, is that instead of the sky, it just turns completely white. i would post a screen shot, but i dont want to take one... but I will however post the wad. so if you can find out whats wrong it would help me greatly...(plus if this works expect a complete series of HL2 skyboxes)

You have to tell the engine that these textures exist. For that define them in HIRESTEX. The skybox definition looks for textures, not for lumps.

EDIT! nvm... thanks. now just wait for the HL2 skyboxes

I still get the white sky. I'm wondering if Graf or chaos could post up a small skybox wad to use in doom and doom2 ? ( not the ones available that just give the skybox and nothing else ).
