Right now this is a collection of tall skies for Doom II: Hell on Earth.

It was mainly created with the software renderer in mind and may not look
good in the GZDoom renderer. Plus I don't know how GZDoom selects the
sky fog colour so I don't think I'll bother making tall skies for GZDoom.

If I decide to do skies for GZDoom, they would be high resolution skyboxes
that will be faithful to Doom's original skies.

To do:

- Finish the hell sky.
- Re-do the city sky because I hate it.
- Go over the seams to make sure they don't look obvious.
- Find out how to not use TEXTUREx so that it'll work for any map
  with default skies.
- Maybe Ultimate Doom skies and Final Doom skies.

Screenshots (linked because they are 1280x1024):

Sorry if this doesn't deserve to be in the Projects forum... moderators are free to move this thread if necessary.

I've only just peeked at the screenshots, but it looks like a nice, simple enhancement.

Yeah, simple stuff really. It was created merely so that the default skies do not stretch... I thought the stretching was horrible at the resolution I play (1280x1024).

Didn't want to mess up the original look and feel too much. Though I do admit that I messed up the city sky big time if you actually play it in-game. I wanted to create a burning city feel to it and it obviously doesn't look good.

Judging from the screenshots it looks very nice, so keep it up!
As Risen said, a nice but simple enhancement

[esselfortium]

These look pretty nice; good job.

With that said, someone's already done this. I forget who made these, but I got them from a thread on the Doomworld forums a long time ago:

Meh, should have known. I see no point in continuing mine then.

Will a moderator please lock this thread.
