Thank you for helping us help you help us all.

Wat. It sounds confusing.  Oh well.

[Rozark]

he means that by helping myself, im helping you guys not help me.
in other news.. i guess im starting my map over.. >.<

[Korby]

It's a quote, don't mind it.

Thank you for understanding, Rozark. You won't have to restart the map.

[Rozark]

how so? I open the wad, only to find the map isnt there. what i did was, being new to doom editor, i hit save map, not knowing it meant wad. i later tested this with a test map, saving it into the wad, and i was able to reload that. The map is gone, that is unless im wrong.

Doom builder creates several backup files called mapname.backup#. Try renaming the backup# part to wad and see if your map is in any of them.

[Rozark]

nope, that didnt work, and i tried all 3 backup files. oh well, imma just create another one, but with a different theme. put abit of planning into it, save it right, and it should be better than the other one.

EDIT: so i can save time later, ive got more questions:
1. how to add rails
2. how to make it so you fall off and die in some areas

Much appreciated ^.^

1. Right click the line that you want the rail to be on. Under actions, go to action 121 which is Line Identification. For the flags, tick the railing option (the flags should be 2). Also, tick Lower Unpegged under Settings. Now, add the texture you want on the line as a mid-texture. The railing should be as high as the texture is, so choose one accordingly.

2. This requires a bit of ACS scripting. Give the sectors that you want to be instakill a tag. Open Doombuilder 2's Script Editor and copy this script in and edit it accordingly.

Code: [Select]

#include "zcommon.acs"

Script [Any number, probably 1] OPEN
{
delay(1);
SectorDamage([This is the tag that you gave the instakill sectors], 255, [This changes what the obituary will say when the player dies from the pit. If you want it to say 'fell too far', put it as "Falling". Look at the ZDoom Wiki under Damagetypes to find more], 0, DAMAGE_PLAYERS);
restart;
}Hopefully this helps.

Rozark, if you don't want to start over, send me one of your backups and I'll get you your map back.

[Rozark]

mk.. so how, me being new to this, would i send it? @_@

[LlamaHombre]

Alright, looking at Rozark's backup, he's right.

Opening it up in Doom Builder does not show any sort of map.

And since this is backup1, I'd assume he doesn't have any more backups.

Sorry, Rozark, but I don't think you'll be getting your map back.

[Rozark]

:/ I do have other backups, but they all do the same thing. Anyway, off to make a better map

EDIT: shadeguy what would that look like when thats finished @ Script, like without the extra stuff?

[LlamaHombre]

That's unfortunate.

Sorry to waste your time, Rozark.

For future reference, don't rely on DB's backups. Make your own backups manually often.
