You have to take a picture, put it into the right size, and edit something in your script, but I don´t know what !!! - There must be a page at your manual ! I read about it !!!

i'm a bit confused about what you want, but if you want sky in your level, just pick the colour in the top-left corner of the palette and apply it to any walls that you want to be 'sky'.
It will appear white in the 3d view.

well first of all to make a sky is click on face edit and transparent.(i think), then lcick on the balck coulour square at the bottom of the editor.and apply it whereever you want (it will turn white when u apply it),now convert it,and go on the editor and when you play it the sky texture will be there.

You don't need to do anything except choose the black colour in the top-left corner of the COLOUR palette and apply it to your chosen walls.
Transparency is not required. (well I don't need it)

Only some of the wads have sky objects, and you have to make sure you choose one that has a sky object, or it will just appear black.
In the room that you want the sky to be in, you have to set it as an outside room, by clicking the 'o' button under the plan view grid. Then, in that room, on all of the squares that you want to see the sky through, you have to click on the black color square in the color pallete, then apply that to them.
