how to create f_sky 1

 

In that case, you need the SKY1, SKY2, and SKY3 textures, which are by default made from the RSKY1, RSKY2, and RSKY3 patches in the TEXTURE1 lumps in the Doom IWADs.

Besides the 6 sky images you also need to create the correct MAPINFO and GLDEFS lumps.

See this tutorial.

That is because Adventures of Square does not use a skybox, just a single sky image which is specified in MAPINFO.

 

 

See the textures folder to find them.

do i still have to use GLDEFS to make a F_SKY for doombuilder? or do i just make a texture called sky1 and have mapinfo replace that with with my skybox texture?

I guess there is some confusion on your part about how F_SKY1 works.

F_SKY1 is not an actual sky texture, it is just a placeholder for the actual sky texture. 

 

You cannot use a map editor like Doombuilder2, GZDoom Builder or GZDoom Builder - Bugfix to make a new sky texture. A new sky texture is constructed with a graphics app like Paint.net and then added to the pwad with a lump editor like Slade3. Once it is added to the pwad  then the map editor can make use of the new sky texture.

 

There are several ways to add a new sky texture with Slade3: as a single texture or as multiple textures.

I have some tutorials on my Tutorial website to help with that.

You don't!

F_SKY1 is already part of the texture list. Open a map editor and create some sectors.

Then select F_SKY1 for the ceiling of said sectors.

 

 

Insert a player start and save the map.

 

Now, when you load this map into a game engine, eg: GZDoom, the sky image

is displayed in those sectors. For DOOM2 MAP01 it would be the familiar brown sky SKY1.

Then, whatever sky you define in MAPINFO will be your sky.
