Description:	You might've heard of MDK, a wacky third-person shooter, released by Shiny Entertainment about 20 years ago. It was a cross between the action of Doom and humour of Earthworm Jim (made by the same folks). To my knowledge, MDK isn't moddable at all. However, Csabo, the author of the infamous XWE, added MDK support to his editor. It can't open all of its data files, but it can cope with the ones that contain the skies (.DTI format). MDK's skies are stored as BMP files in 1804x360 or 904x360 resolution, but they can be converted to the resolution and palette used by Doom and/or its ports without too much distortion. So... ever thought your map could use a new sky?
