Why wont DOOM Builder X test my level?

[NintendoNerd1996]

So I'm using DBX to map and ZDOOM as my launcher, and I've run into a problem, where instead of testing my level, It will play the first level of DOOM one, and the launcher will display the screen off center. It's really annoying as I can't test my level, and I don't even know if half the thing's I set up will even work.

Seems like the testing configuration is just not set up right. Go to tools -> game configurations, then click on the "testing" tab. Maybe customize parameters is checked but then part of it got erased?

 

Also, are you making a Doom 2 map? If so then the configuration should be "ZDoom: Doom 2" and have doom2.wad in the resource list

I've already messed around in the game configurations and nothing worked. Also, I'm making a DOOM one map, so I think that's why it's playing the first level of the first game. BTW, sorry for the late reply.

So I'm guessing the map isn't called E1M1? If you could send some screenshots of the map selection window and configuration, it would be easier to diagnose

I forgot to take a pic of the map selection window, but it has all of theses resources, plus another ZDOOM for some reason. The game Configuration says DOOM, and the map in there is called MAP01. BTW, the file say's that its GZDOOM but it's actually ZDOOM

Okay, I shoulden't have been messing with it, but now it says "Zdoom.PKE could not be found" despite it being in the same file as the other stuff.

Well there's your problem, it should be ExMx for Doom 1 maps.

 

Also, you don't need to put the map itself into the resource list. It will automatically be loaded when you hit test

According to the screenshot, zdoom.pk3 should be in downloads/gzdoom-blah-blah-blah/new folder/N something. But... you shouldn't have that in the resource list either. GZdoom should find it automatically in the folder it is running from... unless you moved it? Or changed the .ini?

So how do I change the name of my level?

I see your problem. Your configuration is Doom, but not Doom 2. The only thing which I am unclear on is if your map is for Doom 1 or if it is for Doom 2.

 

Doom 1 (Doom) uses ExMx. Doom 2 uses MAPxx, so if your map is for Doom 2, you want to select Doom 2 as the game configuration.
