12 Levels only?

Hello there, i am creating my first wad, i already have done 11 maps, and i would like to do only 12...so my question is, how i make my 12 map the last one of the Wad, without having more levels after hitting the exit switch at the end of level 12?

Works in every mapping format and source port: Make a small map 13 that has no exit, give it nice music, some cool scenery, add a "thanks for playing texture" and you're done.

Depends on port and format, but you would need mapinfo lump for it. In boom and vanilla oriented ports, people will just have exit and leave game.

For ZDoom, you will need to create a MAPINFO text lump in your wad, and on the definition for MAP12 (or whatever the twelfth map is), write "next = ENDGAME" instead of "next = MAP13" and it will end the game automatically.

I should provide a link for you, shouldn't I?

Same for Eternity (EMAPINFO) which you need to add this in the definition of map 12...

I am using Doombuilder and ZDoom...thats some kind of programing that you use in Slade? Is there any video in youtube to see the process?

If you really wanna have a mapinfo lump you can copy an existing one from another wad and modify that according to your use case. If that's not up your alley you can always fall back to my previous suggestion since you already know how to make maps.

You can create the MAPINFO lump within Slade itself by naming a new entry MAPINFO and click "View as Text" to edit it.

Or, as I discovered after my first attempt with a MAPINFO, leaving out the "next = z" line entirely also ends the game and kicks you to the cast list.
