WadAuthor trouble testing levels

Recommended Posts

I recently made a small test-level in WadAuthor, and when I went to test it in the WadAuthor program, all that came up was a black window that was only up for a fraction of a second. Anyone know what's wrong here?

Have you edited your .wcf file to show the path to the .exe you want to use? For example, if you are editing for doom2.exe and want to play the wad with doom2.exe, your doom2.wcf file has important information such as:

[WadGame]
Name=DOOM ][: Hell On Earth
IWAD=DOOM2.WAD
NewMap=MAP01
Directory=C:\Files\DOOM2
Run=doom2.exe -file $_Wadfile -warp $_Wadmap

Put your correct path information in the Directory=

If you want to play with another .exe, zdoom perhaps, you'd probably use this:

[WadGame]
Name=DOOM ][: Hell On Earth
IWAD=DOOM2.WAD
NewMap=MAP01
Directory=C:\Files\zdoom
Run=zdoom.exe -file $_Wadfile -warp $_Wadmap

Alright, now I get it. I copied Doom (NOT the warezed one, the one I actually BOUGHT) to a weird place, in a bunch of sub-folders. So cool, now I can test levels!
