PSX Hellsky use

[Job]

I have the console Doom wad and I'd like to use the flaming hellsky with Doom2 wads...however, it uses multiple frames of animation. So how would I get this to work in a Doom2 wad?

[Caco-Puff]

Hmm,All I can suggest is compiling it as a .gif then loading the gif as a texture somehow.

I'd guess you'd use ZDoom, I know I've seen a multiple frame sky before in a ZDoom level, just can't remember where.

well, depending on what port you use:

to use the fire sky in zdoom, simply define the animated fire texture in animdefs and in the mapinfo lump, set the first frame as the sky.

Could you explain this thoroughly? I use ZDoom, but I've never edited the Animdefs or Mapinfo so I have relatively no idea where to start.

hmm, how would i enter that information into the mapinfo lump? i mean, how would i write it in txt if the name of the textures was, for example, skyf_1?

Just in the middle of your map definiiton, put this in: "syk1 TEXTURE 0"

0 is the scrollspeed, up it if you want.

Have a read through the Zdoom wiki as well, its getting pretty definitive:

Since you're using ZDoom you can also use a skybox. Look at the ZDoom page on how to do it.

this is what my mapinfo lump says

sky1 SKY1 5

and when i load it up i get a ZDoom fatal error message. it says MAPINFO line 1 bad syntax.

remember when trying to help me: i'm a dumbass.

Dont bother with the reference on those pages, use the wiki.

zdoom.org/wiki

MoP it sounds like you just have 1 line in your mapinfo. Youve gotta have lots of things to have a working mapinfo lump.

Theres a good example one here:
