Animated Sky Textures?

[DooMAD]

Would it be possible to have an animated sky texture in DooM? You would probably have to edit the source code though.

I have never seen it done yet. Let us know when you get it working. http://www.freakygamers.com/smilies/s/otn/animals/krakrani.gif

It might be possible...on Final Doom for Playstation, there is an animated flaming sky texture that is truly wicked...

I didn't say I was going to do it. It's just my way of trying do encourage someone else to have a go. Besides, source code is well out of my territory.

Animated (scrolling) skies are possible using sky boxes in ZDooM. For vanilla DooM, however, I'm not sure if anyone has done anything.

The MBF/Prboom engine/port has a somewhat animated sky feature....check out the readme/editing txt that you get when you download MBF or Prboom. And somewhere in Doomworld they have a basic map of various other sky tricks like being able to use multible skies or using a regular Texture as a sky!

It's possible !

But i'm using ZDoom to do this. I dont know if it can be done with another launchers.

================================
1-
name the skytexture like this.
Sky_A1 => 1st animated images
Sky_A2 => 2ndanimated images
Sky_A3 => 3rdanimated images
Sky_A4 => Last animated images

================================
2-
now add a lump file named MAPINFO.lmp with this aguments (when the skyboxes is not using):

map map01 "map name"
next map02
sky1 Sky_A1 0.0

================================
3-
After creating MAPINFO.lmp

Create a new lump file named ANIMDEFS.lmp and add this argument :

texture Sky_A1

pic 1 tics 6
pic 2 tics 6
pic 3 tics 6
pic 4 tics 6

tics 6 is enought to animate the texture. write 12 to slowndown the speed /2.
