How do i create custom sprites with SLADE 3?

[RDDoomer]

This is my first doomworld post, so I don't know if I'm breaking any rules. anyway, how do I make custom sprites with SLADE 3? I read a post that said to put the sprites between SS_START and SS_END but they don't appear to me, so how do I do it?

You make character sprites either by recoloring IWAD sprites in slade, or by editing or creating custom  models in something like gimp or blender, basically a graphics design program. It's the same with custom textures.

 

You can also use custom sprites, monsters, objects and textures released by others. You can find them in doomworld forum, by searching them.in editing threads or using the forums search function, in other doom communities, like zdoom forums or moddb, or on realm667, perfect for first timers.

 

Sprites also depend on the port you are using. Targeting anything outside of GZDoom, you HAVE to replace one of the monsters. Usually commander Keen or Wolfenstein SS are used for that. You need to do this by replacing their states.

Depends on how you're changing that new sprite, what did you did?

 

Also, you can't make a new sprite with Slade, just recolor them.
