How do "I" do THAT in Doom Builder?

[BookofDobson]

Open up MM8BDM.pk3 itself in Slade or SLumpEd or something like that, scroll down until you find your map of choice, right click, export to wherever, and then open it up in Doom Builder.

Doom builder then tells me to pick a list of maps on the wad of choice but there is no map listed therefore I can't open it :?

How do I add music?

I want to add music to my stage without replacing another stage. How do I do that?
Already asked in 'How do I do THAT in doom builder?', but my question was just ignored

Whoa sorry dude, I noticed your question but wasn't in an opportune spot to adequately answer [read: I was on my phone and phone typing is dumb.]

Alright...first off you need your music file, preferably looped and compressed. The music file name must be 8 characters or less in length [not including the file extension] and should preferably be in a .ogg format.
In order to add music, you will need a wad editor such as SLumpEd or SLADE. Open your map wad file in one of those editor and click import files at the top. Find your music file and click open.

Next, you need to make sure the music file is not in between your map marker and ENDMAP lumps. This is important. Your map will crash if anything is in between these files that is not supposed to be there.

Finally, create a new lump file, name the file MAPINFO. Again make sure it is not in between the map marker and ENDMAP files. Right click and view as text if you're using SLADE. MAPINFO handles a group of information that maps will use to work properly.

Here's an example of MAPINFO from the map MM2AIR:

Code: [Select]

map MM2AIR "AIR MAN"
{
   next = "MM2HEA"
   sky1 = "AIRSKY", 0
   music = "AIRMUS"
   aircontrol = 0.5
   par = 2
   }

the name is denoted by the map's lump name followed by the full name of the map in quotations.
music is the 8 character song file I told you to make earlier.

I mean music in the game. Not custom. Sorry for not being specific.

Then you would only need to do the steps related to MAPINFO.
To see the music loaded in 8BDM, open MM8BDM-v4a.pk3 in the SLumpEd or SLADE and each of the files in musics.wad are viable for use in maps.

Doom builder then tells me to pick a list of maps on the wad of choice but there is no map listed therefore I can't open it :?

Try opening the map with the game configuration set to ZDoom: Doom in UDMF Format as all the maps in 8BDM were converted to that format with v4a's update. The initial tutorial was never updated, but the method of setting it up for 8BDM is exactly the same, just in a different config.

How do I show a skybox through a linedef?

[Russel]

Apply linedef action 9 [line horizon] to the linedefs you wish to apply the skybox to.

I seem to have trouble with the testing mode for UDMF format. It always asks for Doom, when it never does that in Hexen format. I checked the setup and it seems to be the same as always. What's up with that?

[Russel]

Under the testing tab in the game configurations menu, check the box that says "customize parameters" and change the line

Code: [Select]

-iwad "%WP" to

Code: [Select]

-iwad "megagame.wad"

[Knux]

That worked, Lego to the rescue.

Does anyone know how to solve, let's say, this situation?:
Let's say you have multiple DoomBuilder windows active, each with different maps, and you want to transfer the sectors of one map to the other without the paste feature throwing them off the grid. Is there an alternative to perform this successfully?

Thanks in advance.

[Russel]

When pasting sectors in Doom Builder, you are able to drag their vertices in such a way that realigns their sections with the grid.

How are you guys creating Floating slopes ? ,Serisouly slope is easy to do .aswell as 3D Floors but i'm confused about how you done both in same time ...

[Hilman170499]

How do you do the following?:
1) A map script where if a player stands on a tagged sector for too long, they'll get sector damage.
2) How to make burning oil? I did some thorough research and re-created what I saw, but it did not work...

[Knux]

Here's some things that might help:

1) http://zdoom.org/wiki/SectorDamage - you wanna look at the line that says Sector Damage in the example script. The rest is just text that appears in the HUD, but do read the article since it's concise.

2) I guess you looked at Oil Man's map from the core? If so, be wary of the sector tags the sectors with oil have, and check where they are in the script that handles the burning oil. You also want to look for an Actor Hits Floor thing in the oil sectors, along with the Map Spots that spawn the decorative flames. Look at the script, look at the sector and thing tags, figure out how they relate.

I want to delete a map in GZbuilder.
One is a bad map and one is a good one. I take it to slumped and it keeps reading the bad one

[Russel]

Take a screencap of your both your SLumpEd and your map select in GZDB for me please.
