How to change title or intermission screen in GZDoom?

[ironmanmine12]

I want to change the title and intermission screens so it works with the GZDoom source port, is this applicable?

Depending on how different you want it to be, there are a couple of ways to go about this.

 

If you want a very simple change, like "I want a different intermission pic like how TNT Evilution has a different one from Doom 2", all you have to do is find the picture you want and put it into your WAD, then rename it to match the intermission pic entry in the Doom 2 IWAD ("INTERPIC"). When your WAD is loaded, your custom intermission pic should override the default Doom 2 one.

 

If you want a more dynamic change, like how Knee Deep in ZDoom has a lot of stuff going on (video should be timestamped in the spoiler box),

you're going to have to mess with the MAPINFO lump. I'm not too familiar with this doing this myself, but you could at least get started using the ZDoom wiki's entry about Intermission definitions here https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Intermission_definition

 

Hope this helps

Didn't work. It works in DosBox, but not in GZDoom or Zandronum.

In SLADE: (didn't edit the mapinfo file at all)

 

while playing my WAD in GZDoom:

 

Make sure you're naming the file right? Otherwise idk what to tell you

 

(p.s., also replaced the title screen by naming a graphic TITLEPIC, but GZDoom isn't letting me take a screenshot there, so you're just gonna have to trust me when I say that also worked for me).

Thanks! I saw the picture was a PNG, and my picture was a Doom Graphic. I changed it to PNG, and then it worked. Thanks :)

Try removing the .png extension from each (press ctrl+R to rename them in SLADE)

If you have a interpic, titlepic, or bossback graphic at 16:9 (about 1920 x 1080 resolution), it'll fit quite well... Only caveat being that in order for it to work, you would need to play in a 16:9 aspect ratio otherwise you'll get ugly black borders on the sides.

zoomed out for your convenience.

Is this possible to add intermission Doom 1993-like map pictures in WAD for Doom II? If yes. how can i do that?
