Downloadable Textures

[AleksB]

Hey everyone

 

So I downloaded the PSX fire skies and I tried to load it into doom builder, and when I go to use the sky, it doesnt show the list of skies in the texture menu.  I downloaded the zip file and saved the wad in my folder then added it to doom builder and I can see the wad in the texture list but it says that it has zero skies.  Any advice?

Please explain your question with more detail and include which source port you are mapping for.

So everything else shows up, except the skies? ...but it does have skies in the textures? If so, what are they called?

UDMF APPROACH
Get slade3, add sky texture in your wad, and then create your own first mapinfo.txt via sum text redactor 
Here's template

 

map MAP01 "Your map name here"

{
    levelnum = 1
    next = "MAP02"
    secretnext = "MAP02"
    sky1 = "/Your sky name here/"
    cluster = 1
    par = 30
}
After writing sky name, it will appear.
If you wish to learn more about mapinfo, and all of the nice things u can do with it heres a link

VANILLA/BOOM APPROACH
Get slade3, add your sky texture in wad, and rename it according to your map number, SKY1(In doom, used in KNEE DEEP IN THE DEAD, in doom2 levels 1-11), SKY2(At the shores of hell/ 12-20), or SKY3(Last levels).

Hey guy, I know its been a long time since you answered this question, but I tried your method on a new map I made and it didnt work.  Any advice?
