Maps Keep Disappearing From WAD's I Save

[The BMFG]

so I have had problems with maps disappearing from wads after I save them I save a map do so i can do something I return to it in doombuilder and the maps are gone I use zdoom doom in doom format and I want to know which zdbsp node to save my maps in because I think the default zdoom doom in doom nodebuilder might be why this is happening

I've never had a single problem with the default nodebuilder of the editor.

That said, if you are using DoomBuilder maybe it is a good idea to download a more recent version of the software, just to be sure that everything will work in the proper way.

Other than that you don't save your maps inside the nodebuilder, so that's clearly not the source of the problem. You simply have to create a new wad, add the resources and name your map inside the editor (MAPXX/EXMY). After that you can click on the save button and give a name to your wad.

 

DoomBuilder doesn't take track of the last wad that you have modified so you have to load it manually using the specific button that is right near the "new wad" one. Simply search the folder where your wad is and load it. If you are loading your wad but the editor says that there are no maps in the selected format inside it maybe you have done something wrong with the markers using a lump editor.

 

Lastly, if you are mapping in zdoom doom in doom format be sure that the editor is set to load that specific format. When you open a wad there will be a window with a scrolling menu where you can select the format that the editor is currently using (it is exactly the same window where you can select which map to open). If that format doesn't match the one of your map of course no maps will appear at all.

Is it so difficult to use proper punctuation and sentence structure?

 

You want help, make it easy on us.

I have never seen this specific problem (I think?), but be aware that if you have the same WAD file open in - eg - Slade3 and DBX at the same time and you edit/save in both, you may see odd behaviour/corrupted maps.

 

Basically, ensure you don't conflict different editing tools.
