Because of a bug in the way the sky image is set, the sky will never change as the result of a transition between levels. For example, if a player were to play through all 32 levels of Doom II without reloading from a saved game, the sky would never change from the brown cloudy sky (SKY1) found on MAP01.

  • Because of a bug in the way the sky image is set, the sky will never change as the result of a transition between levels. For example, if a player were to play through all 32 levels of Doom II without reloading from a saved game, the sky would never change from the brown cloudy sky (SKY1) found on MAP01. Since the transition between skies is broken during the game, a player can get the correct sky for any level after level 11 only by using the IDCLEV level warp cheat, by reloading from a previously saved game, or by starting the game from the command line with the '-warp', '-record', '-playdemo' or '-timedemo' command line parameters. However, because of the bug, any later sections reached during that session will use whatever sky was loaded with the level warped to. Because it is unusual for anyone to play through the entire game in one sitting, the effect of the bug is not so easily noticed. An easy way to demonstrate this bug is to warp to Doom II MAP11 and exit the level. When MAP12 starts, the sky will still be the brown sky used for MAP01-MAP11. If MAP12 is warped to directly (via the IDCLEV cheat, the -warp command line parameter or through loading a savegame), the correct "city skyline" sky backdrop is displayed.
