New, Better Sky for Aliens: Special Edition PWAD

While over at Doomworld's forums a little while ago, I picked up a new PWAD, a sort of redux/fix/cleanup for ye olde Aliens TC (which I discovered many years after its release and could never get to work properly). I got it from this thread there:

http://www.doomworld.com/vb/wads-mods/5 ... l-edition/

Very nice, very cool, though I've only played it a little so far.

As you can see further down the thread, someone made a better landscape/sky for it. But I dunno how to, like, operate on a .WAD! Is there anyone who can put that better sky into the PWAD, replacing the one already there? (I kinda do like the clouds/fog that drifts by, though. OTOH, I wonder which would look better with the new sky: the clouds/fog, or no clouds/fog...?)

I got the .ZIP of the PWD and the pic of the sky and put all the files together into another .ZIP for this purpose here: Maybe someone can put it in there, as I can't do it myself. :(

And have some pictures I snapped in there too (eight of them)! Just for fun and to look at, ya know hehehe Hey, try and snap some better ones. I'd like to see that, because I like screenshots hehehehe

Hehehehe

Oh, and BTW, would anyone just happen to know if this mod makes use of Jumping and/or Crouching and/or Falling Damage? ???

You should edit the wad using SLADE3. then look for the sky you want to replace (I see at least 2 SKY graphic entries)

Then import your own in its place. I mean delete the old and import the new using that exact same name. That should work.

Also, most mods just enable/disable jumping on their own.

Okay, I'll find that "SLADE3" that you speak of and try that, though I dunno if it will turn out right hehehe

I bet it'll be a little bit of a learning experience. Learning is fun hehe Especially when it's about Doom-tech stuff hehehehehe
