*ignore the ceil5_1 texture in the bottom, that's part of the sector the player's in.

oh and turn on hires textures and get 0.9.12 before you tell me you see nothing but black.

Hey, it was a fair question! :p

Blackfish can also draw rather neat pacman pellets, ask him for those also!

I don't understand how this is new or revolutionary:

I'd just like to know how you put the images in the wad. Are they 8-bit or truecolor?

The majority of them are 8bit but some are 32 because indexing some of them makes them look fugly.

The idea is a 6 sided cube skybox, not terrain bsp or a single texture.

edit: once graf's site works again I'll make a new thread in wads/mods and make a release thread for all 12 skyboxes.

edit: Ok here we go..

I'm fully aware of what the process is you know, that shot I posted IS a skybox, being used on a terrain segment. I was asking how you got 32bit textures into the wad.
