First level in sequence.

Hi.

 

I have been working on a megawad for many months now.

Inspired by @DavidN I decided to divide my maps into "episodes" and have a central "hub" that lets you access each cluster individually (Quake style).

 

Things are working almost perfectly, except I cannot figure out how to define that this hub map should be the first map when starting a new game.

I am using GZDoom and DoomBuilder.

Can anyone lend me a hand, please?

You can define the map you start on in MAPINFO as well! Slightly confusingly, this is called an “episode” - and an episode definition just defines the map you begin on.

episode MAP15 {}

You could even call it something completely different like MAPHUB if you like - there is no restriction on map names in MAPINFO

Have you already tried defining it in a MAPINFO txt  as map01?

[thewaver]

Well, before creating the hub I already had 14 maps - named MAP01 - MAP14.

Is there no alternative to renaming all of them? (renaming = changing file name + changing internal name in DoomBuilder)

All my love, David - ALL my love :)

 

BTW, I've been watching RAMP on YT since day 1 - absolutely astonishing!
