Lightning Hunter Posted December 20, 2011 Whenever I open Doom2.wad with XWE (for viewing purposes), the iWAD file is instantly modified without me doing ANYTHING. Then when I load Doom2 using Doomsday - it shows the Final Doom TNT menu, textures, and more - instead of the Doom2 menu. I then have to replace Doom2.wad with the original to fix it. So basically, every time I double click the file (which automatically opens with XWE), I have to fix the iWAD by replacing it with the original. It's almost like XWE is set to merge some Final Doom stuff with Doom2.wad when I open it. Why is it doing this? I'm using Windows XP. Edit: It appears that XWE does this with any WAD file that I open, and not just Doom2.wad. This is a great way to screw up WAD files for poor, innocent, unsuspecting Doomers that don't back up their stuff. It's a good thing I have copies of everything. 0 Share this post Link to post
Evolution Posted December 20, 2011 Spooky. Have you tried a new/separate XWE install? Also XWE should make backups for you by default. 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted December 20, 2011 This is a reason why you should use SLADE 3 instead.</pimp> 0 Share this post Link to post
Lightning Hunter Posted December 20, 2011 Wow, Slade is a lot better! I just came back from a long break from Doom, so there are a lot of new releases I'm not aware of. Thanks for the suggestion. XWE = 0 Share this post Link to post

Does running XWE also execute a batch file you might have forgotten about? 0 Share this post Link to post
