Sigil 2 for DOS?

[mnb]

Is there some version available? Sigil 1 have one

[Berubaretto]

Currently none, but it is practical by modifying Sigil 2's wad file and using an executable hack to avoid triggering vanilla engine's bugs(like UDoom32).

Spoiler

 

 

However distributing the modified wad without permission is not allowed according to Sigil 2's text file. So you probably have to do these things on your own. Or just use a source port that emulates dos version faithfully.

You need a wad editor (my choice is Slade) and a map editor (my choice is Ultimate Doom Builder) to do that.

The first step is to change some lumps' file names.

Spoiler

Use Slade to open sigil2's wad file. Rename all of the E6Mx map markers to E1Mx.

--->

Same for the music files.

--->

Also:

--->

 

 

 

The second step:

Spoiler

Open the wad in a map editor. You need to edit M4 and M5. Use the "Find and Replace" , type "SEWER-1" in "Find what":

 

Replace "SEWER-1" to "FLOOR1_1":

   --->

 

After that, back to Slade, and rename "SEWER-1" to "FLOOR1_1". Also delete "F1_START" and "F1_END" marker.

The next step is to replace the E1's sky with Sigil 2's sky:

Spoiler

Open "TEXTURE1", find "SKY1". In the "Patches" section on the right side, replace the "SKY1" patch with "SKY6_ZD":

 

Then save. Now the wad should be playable in an executable hack.

I made a hacked executable (by using Doomkid's dehmake from his vanilla exe pack) to include Sigil 2's 9000 hp Spiderdemon and automap names, which is based on Doom-plus.

SIGIL2exe.zip (At least works fine on my side. But I'm not sure whether sharing hacked executable is allowed. If it is not allowed, I'll delete the link)

Playing Sigil 2 in DOS, however, is still not recommended. If you prefer vanilla doom's visual, Crispy Doom's latest build has native support for Sigil 2.

Are you opening the WAD in SLADE and using its Find and Replace function?

 

You really have to give in more details then It says this because we can't see what you are doing.

Find and replace has been in Doom Builder since the first version.

 

Open the wad in a map editor. You need to edit M4 and M5. Use the "Find and Replace" , type "SEWER-1" in "Find what":

 

Berubaretto literally shows you the icon for Find and Replace.

 

[NiGHTMARE]

For the flat, wouldn't it be quicker & easier just to delete/rename the markers so you have the lumps arranged like this?

 

FF_START

SEWER-1

FF_END

F_END

Isn't there a GZDoom shader that makes the game feel like classic doom?

Its not even a shader, but a palette. PalPlus that emulates the CRT coloring. It also works on all source ports if loaded as the WAD and not as the zip file

PalPlus.wad.zip

[mnb]

so, there's no fix for that 0 items found?

HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This is a forum. Do not get upset if it takes a while for replies to show up, especially if you are doing the bare minimum with no understanding of programs. You literally have to go to that menu you pulled up and open the context box. I have shown you a screenshot.

 

EDIT: I just realized this doesn't fix OP's problem. I appear to be having the same bug, I just put the cart ahead of the horse. In that case, update the editor or someone more knowledgeable than me can fix it.

EDIT 2: Maybe try opening the WAD in A ZDoom format in UDB? That might be why it's not showing up. Sorry for the initial rudeness.
