No textures showing in sapien

Its been a while since i last posted here, anyways i will get to the point...

I make my map with applied textures and save it as a JMS file and run it through tool.exe to make the tag. I then open up guerilla and add the sky and the starting weapons. Now when i run the scenaro tag through sapien it opens but no textures have been applied to the map, also no sky has been added. I do a radiosity quality of 0 or 1 or whatever to see if it makes any difference but it takes less than a second and makes no difference...

and yes i have done that +sky thing for the sky texture thing in the materials window on 3ds max, i even watched video tuts and watched how they apply the textures to their map and i have done it the exact same as the way they did it. But i have came out with this problem.

any help is appriciated

Have you tried the radiosity_start command?

if you want to do a radiosity, do it in tool. i had the same problem, and when you do radiosity in tool it works much faster. type

"tool lightmaps levels\yourlevel\yourlevel yourlevel 0 0.01"

type that, but without the quotation marks, and it should make the correct radiosity for your level. If the ground shows up as being covered in a bunch of different colors after running radiosity, it is because your graphics card is too low, but you should still be able to put in objects, vehicles, etc. If the sky doesnt show up, you may have named the sky wrong in the texture editor. you have to name it "+sky" but without the quotation marks, and then you have to recreate the scenario and shaders etc. and then redo everything. if it still doesnt work, tell me what problems you are having in this forum.

Er, what sky are you using? It almost looks like c20_interior, only a darker blue.
