problem with env_sun

[Dodo]

ive got a map with a custom 2D skybox texture, and env_sun.
the sun wont show up when im walking around in my map but when i go out of the map with noclip i can see it. and yes i do know how to make a sun that works.

i think its the texture. please help ...

Suns have some strange rules.

In at least one case, a sun could not be seen in a room containing cameras and monitors. In at least once case, a sun was not rendered properly because it was angled straight down instead of at a tilt.

Try different stuff.

ok, ill test it with another skybox.

edit: yep, it works with HL2 skybox texture. ill check out thew .vmt
edit 2: I wrote $ingorez 1 in the .vmt instead of $ignorez 1...
