How to make custom weapons addable in doom builder

[Shakariki Heisenberg]

so i added a sniper in my wad which i just got from realm667 (ill credit whoever made it dw)
and just edited stuff like weapon slot and dps  and it works but only when i do idfa/idkfa and i want it to be a actual weapon that i can add in doom builder X.

did this in Slade3,DBX boom format if that matters.

Does your weapon decorate have an editor number?

For example:

 

Actor My actor 1234

 

If not add one.

 

Does your actor have a sprite? Without a sprite, it won't show in the editor.

Did you add it as a resource in the editor?

In DBx, press F2, then add your weapon as a resource.

Try getting Ultimate Doom Builder.

I did it that way and it worked.

 

Difference?

Ultimate Doom Builder and UDMF format

i wanna do udmf format since it has like a billion other features but the UI is just wayy to complicated for my smooth brain to process

[SOF2Fragger]

That's what I thought.

It easier to learn a new program, than trying to make an old one do things they're not designed for.

 

UDB and UDMF allow you to do lots of neat things.

[Shakariki Heisenberg]

what does UDB do that DBX cant i heard theres a make a door thing but what can udb in udmf format that dbx in udmf format cant do?

UDB is an upgrade to DBX, so it has ways to simplify things. Like slopes and 3d floors.
