Why does this happen with my imported sky and how can I fix it?

If appears that you use a single sky image ( 256x128 ? ) but it is not tiled properly.
Various image apps do it in different ways, I use Paint Shop Pro 8 to do that.

If you have any difficulty finding something to do the tiling, then upload the image and someone will do it for you.

The texture is perfectly tiled, I made certain of that.

This is the zmapinfo contents.

Code: Select all

map MAP01 "Opening"
{
   Sky1 = "SKY1"
}
And this is the sky texture:

Did you went into the TEXTURES lump and updated the width of the sky texture? The patch might be updated, but it's pulling the width from the IWAD as 256 instead of your newer width.
