Sky walls?

[Frost-Core]

Hello! im working on a map and i want to have a room where you go outside, i used the SKY1 texture for walls and F_SKY1 for ceiling, and now i see this :

So what is going on? sorry if a stupid question i am very new to mapping.

Any floor or ceiling with the sky flat on it will override the textures on its sides to have the sky effect.

i don't understand you, can you show me a picture of this?

step 1: create sector
step 2: assign F_SKY 1 to the ceiling of the sector you just created
step 3: lower the ceiling of the sector down to the floor, so the sector has an effective height of zero
step 4: there isn't a step 4...

 

word of advice: If you don't understand what we're saying, read linguica's vanilla mapping tutorial, so you learn the terms we use in mapping...

You need to create a sector with the sky as the ceiling and lower it down to the floor, that way it looks like a skybox. The iwads all do this.

I lost the map :( doom builder x crashed somehow and then it could not save it.

Probably a little late for this. But DBX should've create several backups of the map in the directory it was at. Just remove the .backup1/2/3 extension from the latest backup of the map. And you're good to go.

You can't use F_SKY 1 as walls, only as a ceiling texture.

hmm  so is there a way that i can make it all sky?

[Silhouette 03]

I don't know. All that I know is that you can't use that texture as a wall. What do you mean by all sky?

Like a sky box, just like in other games.

 You'd need to use the other sky textures. Someone else can help you there, since I don't know how to do so.
