Weapons Sprite Manipulation Problems

Hey I need help with changing the weapons sprites. I use WinTex to change the sprites and i replace the weapons but when i load up my WAD the weapon is not there, it still does damage, but it doesn't show up.

Make sure the sprites are in the sprites section of the WAD. Make sure the graphic offsets are right. Also make sure that you're playing it with a source port, as the original Doom executables can't load single sprites from WADs.

Actually if you make sure the new sprites doesn't have the same name as any of the sprites in the IWAD, it'll work just fine with the original .exe.

Don't forget to change the relevant frame names in DeHackEd though.

See STRAIN for a good example of how to do this.

AH HA! so THAT'S why strain did that. 7 years with doom and I can still learn new stuff.
