This was junk.

I have no idea what you mean.

[GreyGhost]

Can't tell if he's complaining about the wad or the advice, I'm also starting to lose interest.

Well , that had no texture of doom (like baron of hell's hanged flesh) and it gave me the sky problem again.

The baron patch is there (W108_1) but didn't find its way into the TEXTURE1 lump for some reason. Are you still unable to download my version of that wad?

Yes , i see nothing but blank page when i try to download. and IDM won't show me any download dialog even when i wait for long.

Did you try to simply click GreyGhost's link in your browser and then click the big green DOWNLOAD button? Which web browser do you use? (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Opera, Firefox?)

IDM

Internet Download Manager? Maybe it's doing something MediaFire doesn't like. DownThemAll in Firefox works fine for me.

This reminds me I REALLY need to get around to assembling a "Basic Doom editing questions" sticky for the Editing forum.

Google Chrome

[scifista42]

So, if you simply click the link and then click the green download button, it should download normally (without download manager), or not?

If you insist on using a download manager, maybe update it?

It's version 6.23 Build 8. I think it is very up to date.

[GreyGhost]

Download managers aren't foolproof, have you tried downloading with IDM disabled? If that fails, I could email you a copy, or submit it to the archive, or both.

Well , i would rather to download with IDM because the chrome download manager is not good at all.

[GreyGhost]

Have you checked the IDM FAQ? In particular the Questions About Specific Sites - which are mostly file sharers. It looks like IDM might work better if you've paid for "Premium Account" access to the site in question, which is a bit of a kick in the teeth if you've already paid good money for the download manager.

It would be easier to upload the file.

[The Doommer]

Please give me a link , there is no answer after the last thing you posted.

[GreyGhost]

I've sent the wad as an email attachment, hopefully it won't be swallowed by a spam filter at your end.

I found a redundant patch in the wad while preparing to submit it to /idgames, so a small cleanup job and some testing is required before uploading.

Got the file , thanks.

Can i make my wad for both PrBoom & ZDoom ?? using DECORATE

[scifista42]

No, PrBoom doesn't support DECORATE.

Only DEHACKED is supported by all ports.

So , what to do ?

[Wildmajora]

Depends what you want to do with DECORATE.

[scifista42]

The Doommer said:

Either proclaim your wad to be ZDoom-only, or don't use DECORATE. If you already have a DECORATE you want to use, you can try to manually convert the DECORATE to DEHACKED - which is impossible if said DECORATE takes advantage of ZDoom-specific features, and even if it doesn't, you will have to sacrifice existing Things/States/etc in DEHACKED to replace them with the new ones, not to mention that there really is no automatic convertor and you must rewrite it all by hand. In case of simple actors, it's certainly doable and not even much time demanding at all, if you know how to edit DEHACKED.

Some Questions :

1.I created 6 clusters in MAPINFO lump , will they replace the default clusters of Doom II by their numbers ?

2. How to Set my game's name & picture ?

3. Will slade create my new monster's sprites in it's map editor ? (if i have both graphic & code) ?

[scifista42]

1. Yes, if the new cluster numbers match the original cluster numbers, the old clusters will be overwritten.
2. The former via "STARTUPTITLE" in GAMEINFO, the latter via "titlepage" in MAPINFO - GameInfo section.
3. I suppose you mean the preview sprite, then yes. You didn't really need to ask this, just find out yourself.

[The Doommer]
