I'm trying to load a sky and a scene using the sky entities, outside the main() function. Code: SKY sky_1 = { type = <horizon.pcx>; layer = 3; scale_x = 0.5; speed_u = 1; speed_v = 1.5; tilt = -10; flags = dome \| visible; } I tried to load it by adding a single row in the main function Code: SKY sky_1; but obviously this isn't the way to call the sky entity because the compiler says that there's an unknown key word SKY. I would like to know how can i add them to the main function so that i can load my scene the way i want it when the application starts.

The example for a sky entity is: Code: ENTITY* skycube = { type = "skycube+6.tga"; // the image for a backdrop scene flags2 = SKY \| CUBE \| VISIBLE; // sky cube, visible } or ENTITY* skycube = { type = "clouds.tga"; flags2 = SKY \| DOME \| VISIBLE; }
