since i saw mystic on Featured Maps, i thought it looked cool so i downloaded it and played. When i spawned, the sky had weird colors and was like a swivel shape. However, for some reason when i look in a certain direction or height, the sky is normal. Also, i wanted to make a movie using Mystic, so i opened it in sapien, and it had the same sky problem, but an error come up that ive never seen before:

\halopc\haloce\source\rasterizer\dx9\rasterizer_dx9_hardware_bitmaps.c(148): D3DERR_INVALIDCALL in IDirect3DDevice9_CreateTexture(global_d3d_device, width, height, bitmap->mipmap_count+1-mip_levels_to_drop, 0, rasterizer_bitmap_format_table[bitmap->format], D3DPOOL_MANAGED, &(IDirect3DTexture9*)bitmap->hardware_format, NULL) (code=-2005530516, error=<can't get description>)

I dont know if my laptop doesnt support something or what, could someone please tell me what i could do? if not i could just use a different sky.

I'll get a pic later if anyone wants one.

That's an odd error, I've never seen that before...

Mystic has a very high-rez skybox and some graphic cards do not render it properly. Believe me it looks real nice. There is nothing else like it so far for Halo CE.

well thanks for the help, i guess ill get a new graphics card then.
