Post I need help with a sp wad I'm making... Reply with quote
I'm creating a new series of SP maps for Skull tag.
I haven't really thought up a name yet. Confused
So far I've only finished levels 1-2...
Anyway, I couldn't help but notice that the skull tag engine came with several new textures, among these textures were several new skys labeled stsky 4-8 or something like that...
What I wanted to know was: How do I insert these into my maps?

hi man, good to have you on board Cool

hmm... i know next to nothing about Skulltag and its map format or extended skies.
but, i do know how to implement standard (or non-standard) skies in a map.

what you need to do is to create a MAPINFO lump for your WAD. you can make this in Notepad, it's that simple. but you'll need Wintex or XWE to insert the MAPINFO lump into you WAD. if using Wintex you'll have to create it externally, save it as MAPINFO.LMP and then import it. XWE will let you create it then and there.

your MAPINFO will look like this:

MAP MAP01 "name of map01"
SKY1 STSKY4 0.0
MUSIC D_RUNNIN

MAP MAP02 "name of map02"
SKY1 SKY3 -2.5
MUSIC D_STALKS

etc...

this is how you give maps names too.
SKY1 has to be followed by the name of the texture you want for that map's sky (this can be any texture). the number that follows is the horizontal scroll speed for the sky. 0.0=still, i dunno what the maximum speed is. a +ve number scrolls one way, -ve the other (again, can't remember offhand which is which). the number has to be a decimal.

and... if you want your maps to have music then you need to specify it in the MAPINFO because if you use MAPINFO without telling Doom which music to play then you don't get any. Sad
(the music lump names i have given there are for the default MIDIs for maps01 and 02.)

good luck!

Hi, Blackfleet,

nice to read you again on this board.
Unfortunately, me too, I don't know anything about Skulltag. All my mapping is for ZDoom only.

Milian.
