Like in the topic, this will be about textures, and my first question is, how big should a sky texture be ? For example I'm trying to make a sky texture for a map, with some clouds and stuff, but I have no idea what resolution should it be.

A whole sky in one single texture then I would say 2048X1600 or something like that.

thanks  but isn't it too smal ? I want to make some clouds, and such small texture will look awful

I've made a sky texture to the kame house map, (a bit too big but I think it looks good anyway ) I used some screens from the anime so now it would look more animelike than it is now
Now:

Can you use GIF's as textures or do they need to be PNG's?

true, and I think that jpg's are used as textures PNG's are the best quality but jpg's are used in most games so it doesn't lag for people with crappy pcs

PNGs are lossless. JPGs are lossy.
While JPGs often consume less disk space with a high-detailed, high-resolution image, PNG can reap much greater benefits if you are able to palettize/index your colors to a minimal amount. Both formats are loaded as uncompressed bitmap data in video memory and thus would consume the same area.
The difference in performance usually comes in that JPG's support 3 channels (red, green, blue) while PNGs support 4 (red, green, blue, and alpha). The additional alpha channel when used for actual alpha-based effects can cause overhead in some cases.
The DDS format is actually more commonly used in games since it can offer on-card compression (albeit lossy). An explanation of some of DXTC profiles used by DDS can be found here.
