why wont it do my maps

This is not epic

I think you need to drag your .wad file to the gzdoom executable and not the .dbs file.

[LuciferSam86]

wads or pk3s , I don't have idea what a dbs file is :)

 

PS: Next time put a better title that fits your problem and a description of the problem.

Not everyone has time to watch the video, or even might have a browser that does not render the gif correctly, and your problem is not searchable by someone that has the same problem.

Here a guide that explains how to write correctly a new thread:

.DBS is the save file for your map information for Doombuilder itself (DoomBuilder Save).

You want to be using the .wad file.

If it is in another file (let's say new_map2.wad) then you have to drag that one in your sourceport of choice.
If it is another map inside the same file (MAP02 slot, instead of MAP01), load it up on your sourceport of choice you then change the level (the nextmap command on gzdoom's console or type in-game IDCLEV02 if it is the second map of Doom 2)

When you press the Run button Ultimate Doom Builder loads up the map you're currently working on with parameters.

This is what we think of your problem.

 

If you have issues understanding @Drywtler's post, please state what part you aren't getting.

@RedneckerzHow do i fix the problem?

 

[kwc]

These two maps of yours, are they each in their own .wad? If so, can you open them in SLADE take a screenshot of the contents of each .wad and post them here?

 

From the little bit of info we’ve got from you, it sounds like you have two different maps on map01 slot.

 

Ideally, post your wads to this thread directly and someone can look at it without having to do this back-and-forth.

What part of Drywtlers post aren't you understanding?

 

''How do i fix the problem?''

 

How is that even remotely an answer to my post? You need to explain your problem and highlight it with examples instead of asking how we can fix the problem, when we have no explanation or examples to begin with!

 

So my answer is:

By posting the maps and/or following @kwc's post.

I see that when you start GZDoom, map01 is all red and evil looking.

 

The obvious explanation is that your computer is cursed.

@Theratman

Cool, you posted a screenshot of one wad but not the other.
You're using UDMF so I can't get the information I was looking for from a simple screenshot (the format would be something you'd wanna share at the beginning for future problem threads you may start).

How about simply sending both .wad files through the attach feature on the forum and we can check it out on our end:

Then add them to a zip file... Here's how (youtube link)

@kwc

MAP01.zip

[Drywtler]

I don't know if you renamed these yourself, but if you want GZDoom to pick them up on MAP01 in particular you shouldn't change the name to anything else.
I highlighted the map marker names.



Now, if you wish to change the map titles, you should do it with a MAPINFO lump. More details at ZDoom Wiki

As of right now, if you open them directly into GZDoom you can only access LOSTHOME and TED with the console and typing "map LOSTHOME" or "map TED" to warp to them.

@Drywtler Thank you.
