unerxai Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Slade's tutorial on adding textures say the textures should be at the end, after the BLOCKMAP lump. It says it's not recommended to alter the order of the lumps, etc. So I add the textures and then go to Doom Builder to use the textures (in this case, flats) on the map. The issue I'm having is that after saving the wad on DB, I go to slade (out of curiosity) and the textures appear at the top now, before all the lumps. I tested the map and everything runs perfectly, but Slade said that the wrong order could break my map so I'm confused. Any help is appreciated. EDIT: Damn looks like this should've been on the questions sub forum. Sorry about that. Edited March 24, 2019 by UNERXAi 0 Share this post Link to post
Edward850 Posted March 24, 2019 The tutorial is only referring to the best practice. The lump order only matters for particular sequences, like placing lumps between relevant markers or the very specific order map lumps need to be in to be functional.

Gez Posted March 24, 2019 What's really important is that textures are not in the middle of a map's lumps. If they are before the map or after the map, it's fine. 1 Share this post Link to post
Empyre Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Doom Builder (any of them) always puts the map at the end of the wad when saving it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fetzher Posted March 24, 2019 Long time lurker here. Since this thread is slade issue related, has anyone an idea why my slade3 cannot start maps or edit maps anymore? Also the map buttons are missing. Already tried to reinstall or use different versions of slade. Also sorry if this is kinda off topic. 0 Share this post Link to post
