Sky Swapping... Help

Say I want to put the Midship Sky on Coagulation. Can I just open both the maps in Insolence and drag and drop? I tryed that but the "Move Box" appeared and has been sitting there for about 5 minutes and not doing anything. If this isn't the way to do it could someone direct me to or just give a tut on how to swap skies (I used the search button to no avail).

Now, I know that there are two different types of "skies". The actual sky in the map, and the picture you see when you look up. Now I also want to change the coagulation sky bitmap to the midship one or edit it to make it darker. I extracted the bitmaps in Insolence but I don't know how to inject the new bitmaps back in (the "inject" button is "ghosted over" -- it won't let me click it--). Is there a way I can just copy the midship bitmaps and replace the coag ones?

Well if it's stuck on a bitmap transfer, that happens to me too. Just get a fresh midship (if it's not fresh already.)

If its stuck on re-linking a file, this is normal, since it takes a long time to re-link some stuff.

It was stuck on the relinking part and I know it takes a long time but 7 minutes?

Sky tag usually doesnt take a long time. It usually takes me about a minute to transfer a sky tag.

So all I have to do to put fog in coag is drag and drop the backwash sky file? Do I need to get rid of the coag sky file once the backwash one is in?

D&D the Backwash fog from backwash to ur map to get teh fog, a nice idea would be to have the sky the same colour as the fog so it blends more. (Ex, blue fog= blue sky, Green fog=Green Sky)
