That message means you're trying to modify an iwad (eg doom.wad or Doom2.wad), don't do that. You instead make a new wad that includes only your changed resources.

You are trying to modify an iwad. The whole doom engine is designed so that you don't have to do that and keep the original game files unmodified. The established practice for adding new resources or replacing base game resources is that you create a new wad file from scratch in which to put your textures/files. If the name of those images match exactly those of the base game, whether they are textures, sprites or sounds, then it will replace them on load. That's why they are called patch wads (pwads).

help pls

Well as you can see, it says you need to select a base resource archive selected. You'll see the the selection in the top right corner.

Doom uses 8bit palettes for graphics, so an active palette is needed to do any graphics manipulation. These is what's provided by the base resource.

Select a base resource, the option you see in the top right corner of the Slade window. I can't simply further.

This type of comment makes me think you're not really willing to learn, this is just a step above "ok?".

Downgrade an image to 320x200, convert it to Doom GFX (In SLADE) and rename it to TITLEPIC.

 

If Doom GFX doesn't work, then try PNG format
