I installed SF 1.9.4.1 (Linux server) on my home server running Ubuntu 8.01 server edition and on certain maps, my game (not the server) says the skybox is missing. Some of these maps: sf_skywalk, sf_basin. A working one is sf_abandon. Is this a problem with the server or my computer? I can play on other servers without a problem... The server is also running NO mods and all the normal maps. Any idea what the problem is? I'd love to be able to run a server without a problem.

Make sure you change the map after a crash. I know they were SUPPOSED to fix that bug, but I still see it happening in 194. So change map after the server has loaded, and see if that fixes your problem.

Also make sure you have the sf server mod files installed with hl2dm. I dunno if it would work without it, but you need hl2dm as well as sf, since sf is a mod of hl2dm.

Try those, then post back.

Aslo you'll find that abandons skybox isn't loading - it just appears like it is as the glass sort of prevents the leak effect.

Thanks, I will try that later today when I can.

Well... by HL2DM do you mean HL2MP? I have followed the server guide and downloaded hl2mp using the steam updater. If you mean hl2dm, that isn't an option. I checked. I'm going to try changing the map, and i will post here after.

Yes, I believe you need the hl2mp update command when installing the hl2dm files.
