how exactly do i create a sky box or sphere? Just making a sphere and texturing it doesn't work.

Am I an Idiot...or is everyone else just really smart?

you have to turn culling off on your skysphere/box, that lets you see inside it.
set object cull sky,0

although it still won't looks great, best way is to model and texture one yourself.

In the beginning, the universe was created...
This made alot of people very angry and it has been widely regarded as a bad idea...

Ok. Fisrt make a sphere that about 5000 in size. Then set object to cull. Texture it. In you do/sync/loop position the sphere at you players position so Position object 1,object poisition x(player object number or camera),object poisition y,player object number or camera),object poisition z(player object number or camera)

Hoped that helped

P.S BTW the code is in the code base. You should check it out.

always position the sphere at the camera level, not objects...

also, turn off object lighting so that you don't see any shadows on the sphere/box
