Configuring??

[Chipper35]

So: plain question.............

 

In which 'mode' do most people create their maps??  Doom II?? Hexen??  Is there a post where I can learn more about 'configuration'??

 

 

[Nevander]

Most commonly used formats are Doom in Doom (vanilla), Doom in Boom (boom format, extra features over vanilla but widely supported), and UDMF (ZDoom and advanced ports only).

DooM in Hexen format is also used, but has fallen along the wayside with the advent and popularity of UDMF.

These are the basic mapping variants https://zdoom.org/wiki/Map_format

Basic DOOM/2 format being the most limited with respect to features

and UDMF having the most features.

 

From there simply choose the engine, for example

 

 

As far as the editor is concerned, using Ultimate Doom Builder would support

all features regardless of the format used.
