I'm trying to put a cubemap in my map, but of course it has to give me purple checkered texture instead of a reflection... how might one go about fixing this problem? Help would be MOST appreciated!

(and pics just for the heck of it...)

wait so you did or didn't add a cubemap?

You're asking where to get one, or are you having trouble with the cubemap not doing its job?
