Making Doom 1 Maps in UDB (noob question)

[Dillar]

So when I go to start a new map in Ultimate Doom Builder, all I see for game configuration is the image below. How do I enable Doom 1 mode?

You should set the checkbox on responsible for displaying the neccessary configuration. Open Tools --> Game Configurations... or press F6. Now, check the button "GZDoom: Doom (UDMF)

Knew it was going to be something this simple; thanks!

To add further context, there are three parts to a UDB configuration.

 

The first part is the target source port. "Doom" means the vanilla exe (or limit removing), while the others are source port standards (e.g. Boom is all boom-compatible source ports).

 

The second part is the base game, i.e. the IWAD. Generally this would be Doom or Doom 2.

 

Finally there's the map format. There are three options: Doom format, Hexen and UDMF. Generally these go hand in hand with the source port standard, so if you're targeting a vanilla map (for example) you'd likely want to use the basic Doom map format.
