Sky Windows arrrrgg!!

[Masterminded666]

I have problems making skywindows, Can anyone help me Pleaseeee?!!

I was having the same problem, so I copied the information that someone gave me. Here:

Code: Select all

Sky Window:

1) set your sector's ceiling to f_sky1
2) surround it with a sector with height=0 an ceiling and floor texture f_sky.

---------------------
-surrounding sector -
- ----------------- -
- |               | -
- |  your sector  | -
- | ceiling=f_sky | -
- |               ---
- |                  
- |               ---
- |               | -
- |               | -
- ----------------- -
-height=0 flt=f_sky -
---------------------

flt=flats

yis, you can't have a ceiling with F_SKY1 next to a higher ceiling and no upper texture between them unless the higher ceiling has F_SKY1 too; it would look a bit goofy anyway in most cases.

For another example look here: http://www.zdoom.org/zdkb/skywindow.html

There's also an better explanation of F_SKY1 somewhere but I forgot where it is. Oops.

However, Destroyer's method works, at least for me, and in ZDoom 2.0.47. floor=ceil=F_SKY1@0. No textures plz!

i cant seem to do sky windows either... i do the standard "sky window" operation but i still get a HOM (im using a skybox BTW)

Code: Select all

   |     +--ceiling=0 floor=0 ceilingtex=f_sky1 floortex=f_sky1
   |
   +--------just a standard sector (ceiling=128 floor=0)

I think that Ceiling should at least be one pixel above the floor height.

[Hirogen2]

Heh I got a HOM for doing the sky sector 1 pixel above and none with 0...
