Could not locate texture: mods/Orbital/data/skies/envto
Connection error: Invalid packet..


Other dml files seem to work just fine, it's this one particular sky that's it's failing for some reason.

EDIT- I fixed it by removing the comment in the beginning, but it still looks for envto instead of env, so even though the dml says env, I had to rename the actual image to envto.jpg. I'd still like to know why the engine seemingly manufactured this discrepancy...

EDIT- ok, by making the name of the last texture 6 characters long(envmap) plus the extension, I appear to have solved the problem. I still wouldn't mind knowing what exactly caused this little hiccup...
I have no idea what caused that, but the materials list reader is probably pretty fragile.
