Black mess at the edge of the map

    I can't be the only one that's annoyed by this;

    I know that it can be "fixed" by having a map smaller than 256 and then having excessive camera bounds, but is there another way?

    Can the black mess that borders a map's terrain be removed? I'd rather it just be scenery.

    Is this hardcoded? I've never seen a map manage to remove it without the aforementioned "excessive camera bounds" trick.

    Why is it even there? It ruins cinematics.

    I've tried every solution I could think of, and have been for months without even the slightest bit of luck regarding removing it.

    No you cannot remove it, the only thing that you could do aside from using appropriate bounds is to put in a skybox, so youve got the skybox there instead of the blackness. There are plenty of skyboxes that fit your space theme. Theres a guide around here to do it if u dont know how.

    I was able to remove mine, but unfortunately for me, I don't want it.

    It happened when I used Save Camera, Restore Camera.

    EDIT:

    No, not that. Apparently using Model Camera action, even if you've saved/restored the camera, causes this bug. Or for your case, your solution.

    Also, adjust the field of view to 45 when you use the Model Camera.

    @Eiviyn: Go

    I was noticing this this today. Blizzard should fix this on their ladder maps especially.
