Archive Maintainer : Please archive this in:
./idgames/graphics/newdsky2.zip
Note, I am also uploading a separate version
for Doom and Ultimate Doom as:
./idgames/graphics/newdsky1.zip
Update to : Not applicable
Advanced engine needed : Yes - a source port with mouse-look and
support for tall sky textures;
such as: ZDoom, Legacy, JDoom, and Vavoom.
Primary purpose : No levels included
- this is a graphics-only wad.
======================================================================
Title : NewDoom Skys - Doom II Version
Filename : newdsky2.wad
(Doom I version available as newdsky1.wad).
Release date : 31 December 2000 (Happy New Year)
Author : Sparky of KISS Software
Email Address : kelm@eisa.net.au
Other Files By Author : too many to list, but Strife Doom was
probably my biggest and best (strifed1.zip).
Misc. Author Info : Electronic Engineer with a passion for
all things Doom.
Description : Tall skys (256x240) for Doom II based on the
banner image from the NewDoom web site.
This wad is dedicated to the guys and gals
at NewDoom - Happy New Year and all the best
with your site in 2001.
Additional Credits to : NewDoom and whoever made the original banner
image on which this sky texture is based.
======================================================================
* What is included *
New levels : None
Sounds : No
Music : No
Graphics : Yes - 3 sky textures, and some in-game
screenshots to show off the new sky
(Title and Help screens).
Dehacked/BEX Patch : No
Demos : No
Other : No
* Play Information *
Game : Doom II v1.9
Engine : This wad requires a Doom Source Port with
mouse-look & support for tall sky textures.
Tested okay with:
ZDoom v1.22 Legacy v1.31
JDoom v0.81 Vavoom v1.6
Map # : Any - this is a graphics-only wad
Single Player : Yes - " " " " "
Cooperative 2-4 Player : Yes - " " " " "
Deathmatch 2-4 Player : Yes - " " " " "
Difficulty Settings : Not applicable
* Construction *
Base : the banner image from the NewDoom web site.
Build Time : Maybe 6 hours for both the Doom and Doom2
versions - it took several attempts to get
it looking okay, and of course getting and
editing the screen shots takes time.
Editor(s) used : Paint Shop Pro, WinTex, DeuTex, and NWT.
Known Bugs : Vavoom doesn't use the F1 key to view the
Help screen - select it from the main menu.
This wad will not work with:
'Plain Vanilla' Doom or Ultimate Doom - just displays a red sky
(the top part of the tall sky).
Edge v1.24 - this port has a mouse-look feature and the option to
stretch the sky texture, but this version is still
buggy with tall textures.
SMMU v3.21 - this port also has a mouse look feature, but it does
not support tall skies.
Any source port which does not have mouse-look and tall skies;
such as: Boom, PrBoom, MBF, DosDoom, PrjDoom, etc.

By Walter confetti · PostedNot that bad, even kind of interesting find the secrets in the map! But yeah, that switches jungle is a awful choice really..thumb.png.a82ff57ba91076032981c96963625196.png)
By eanasir · PostedWell, the map is pretty basic. The map is quite challenging, with there being 0 ammo pickups (excluding the backpack) outside of the starting room. There are also nazis for some reason. I will give it 2 stars only because this really wasn't meant to be played to be enjoyed, but rather just a example of how to build a map in DEU.
