Skybox visable in void - Developers

Hello. I've encountered a problem where the skybox is visable outside of the level, see demo vid bellow for details. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VPJbGJ-Oxk"]Youtube link[/URL] Note: Only when I'm outside of the map and no part of the skybox is within the fov does the skybox dissapear. I've encountered this problem in the past, however my previous solution dosn't work anymore. I am using the gmod toolchain that comes with the development beta. There are no leaks or other errors but I will post the log at the bottem just incase. Heres a hammer screenshot of a simmular level to in the video.

Well I don't see a problem here. When you are outside of the level then odd things can happen, because you are breaking the map in some way. Solution - stay in the map area ;)

i agree with gargamel, if its outside the map where youre not supposed to be then surely its not a problem as long as the inside of the map is fine.

I suppose it's not to much of a problem. The only issue is that biuld maps often have people noclipping around. Are you sure you guys don't have any idea what could be causing this?

well if youre that desperate to get rid of it, 1. have you made the skybox yet? 2. is the outside of your map wrapped in the nodraw texture?

No I havent made the outer skybox yet, and the ouside is all nodraw. I'll try building a skybox and see if that fixes the problem. thanks! --Edit-- Now I'm feeling pretty dumb. I guess that you have to have a full skybox with gmod or bad things will happen. Thanks for your help guys!
