Stuff I need help with

[Magnet Dood]

Hi, guys. I'm trying to make some generic maps in order to become a better mapper. Of course, being a novice, I might need some help...

All right, that old stuff wasn't necessary. The most important thing right now is this:

I'm attempting to make a CTF stage based off of Air Man's map (yes, that means Air Man tiles). I'm having a few problems with it, so I was hoping to look upon the actual Air Man map to see how it's made.

So, my first actual question: Is there any way to upload maps into Doom Builder from the MM8BDM pk3?

(hopefully someone will answer this one)

[BiscuitSlash]

Here's how I do it.

1) Use SlumpEd (or slade) to open up the main .pk3 file
2) Highlight the airman.wad file and click "export" (Don't open it yet)
3) Save it somewhere
4) Open it in Doom Builder
5) There you go! Profit get!

[Magnet Dood]

son of a bitch I can't get slade

Blame parents...

Can someone get it for me because I'm so worthless?

[BiscuitSlash]

Okay I'l send you the file. It should be PM's within' 10 minutes. (If not, 10 hours)

[Magnet Dood]

mkay, thank you.

[BiscuitSlash]

You're welcome! (It should be there in your pm)

I tried the map, but now a bunch of bots are spawning and causing me major lag!

Is there anyway to erase bots from the equation?

[BiscuitSlash]

Ahh, you see it's an official map that has those bots there for the campaign. To remove them, I think you could try "removebot" in the console, but that might not work if it is campaign.

[Magnet Dood]

OK. That helps a lot.

Now I'm working on a junkyard, but I can't find the bug thing in Junk Man's stage. Actually, I can't find anything MM7-related...

Do you have to exchange the megagame wad as well as the pk3?

[BiscuitSlash]

Just as long as you have the v2a or above .pk3 in there, it should be in the decorate section in things mode. Go to Things>Decorate>Gockroach

That's what I did, but it wasn't there! *collective gasp*

It only said MM8BDM-v1d over in the texture center... And there weren't any MM7 decorations either.

HALP

You need to use the latest MM8BDM-vXy.pk3 whenever you make a map.

[BiscuitSlash]

You can change it by going to....preferences I think....somewhere at the top there is a thing that lets you change the .pk3's

[Magnet Dood]

All right, I got that outta the way. Thanks, guys!

But now I have another problem.

I'm trying to implement a fence, but when I put the texture there, it's just a whole wall of fences! How do I just get one?

[Mendez]

Make the fence a midtexture and plant the fence on a line of it's own.
Example: In the middle of nowhere, draw a line. select that line, right-click it, and set it to lower-unpegged. Set the action to 121 (line identification) and set the flags to 32. finally, choose a fence texture of your choice (like CUTBAR) and you're done. I may have mispelled a couple of things, but that's usually how it should go.
