Chocolate doom crashes after adding flats in slade

[Milkeno]

The doom wiki says:

Quote

For vanilla Doom WADs, flat textures must be followed by an F_END lump marker and F_START must not be used, because of how vanilla Doom loads flat textures. Using the latter will cause Doom to exit. The use of FF_START and FF_END, however, are safe to use and ignored by Doom.

but when I add my replacement flat in-between FF_START and FF_END

Chocolate doom gives this error when starting:


What am I doing incorrectly?

Use one F in F_END but two Fs in FF_START.

 

Alternately you (and anyone else playing in Chococlate) can load the wad with -merge instead of -file, but doing it the first way is easier on everyone.

Thank you Plums, you explained it very well, I guess the wording could have been clearer but I have a tendency to misunderstand basic things. The flat works

Welcome, it's an easy thing to miss and you're not the first person to do so.
