RESOLVED - Missing Skybox on EVERY outdoor map

[[JDRS] Bart]

Code:

EDIT - I finally managed to resolve this, by setting the following variables in /cstrike/cfg/sourcemod/zombieriot/zombieriot.cfg

zriot_dark "1"
zriot_dark_level "n"
zriot_dark_sky "hav"

I can only assume that some portion of zombieriot code, loaded after server.cfg and/or game.cfg on map change, was seting sv_skyname = "" if zriot_dark = 0,
rather than setting it to the currently configured default setting (sky_urb01).

END EDIT

So as the thread title indicates, I get the strage glitchy sky on every outdoor map I load. Here's what I know so far:

• I have 260 .VMT files in my /materials/skybox folder
• Setting sv_skyname to any valid entry before joining solves the issue
• When the map changes, sv_skyname is empty again, and the glitch is back
  

I've tried setting sv_skyname in my server.cfg, and looking for any relevant settings in any other files, but I'm at a loss. Some help would be greatly appreciated!

My configuration is as follows:

Core 2 Duo (1.66Ghz, I think)
4GB RAM
Windows Server 2003 Standard

Counter Strike : Source
Startup Command : "...\srcds.exe" -game cstrike -console +ip 192.168.1.201 -port 27016 +maxplayers 64 +exec server.cfg -tickrate 100 +map zm_fubar_towers_v5

Could you please post the result of going META LIST in the dedicated server console? Thanks.

meta list
Listing 4 plugins:
[01] SourceMod (1.3.1) by AlliedModders LLC
[03] CS:S Tools (1.3.1) by AlliedModders LLC
[04] SDK Tools (1.3.1) by AlliedModders LLC
[05] Hacks Extension (1.3.0.0) by Knagg

edit - I had installed ZombieMod, thinking that might give me whatever sky textures I was missing, and it was trying to load, until I renamed the VFD file, but this problem predates that. Meta List now reports these 4 plugins, numbered appropriately 1-4, and the problem still persists.
