my maps (still cant play)

yeah so i still dont get this, i make my map and save it as map.WAD. But when i run doom2 and i select it in the custom wad part of the game perameters, none of the levels change and i just play entryway. HOW DO I PLAY MY MAPS??

is your level map01?
are you doing "port.exe -file map.wad" ?

and your question was actually explained here.

http://www.zdoom.org <-get zdoom if you dont have it already.

Ok, look here and you can see from within DB itself you can test your maps. I keep zdoom, the main iwads and all my other wads in a single directory

select it in the custom wad part of the game perameters

You aren't using doom95 by chance, are you?

no its just map.wad

yeah i am using doom95 y? is that bad? or wrong?

Yes. Well it isn't wrong, but doom95 sucks it hard. Most everyone is going to suggest using a modern source port. Like zdoom.

The .wad files are simply containers for maps and graphics and other lump files. You can name it whatever the hell you want. When you make a map in db, you have to specify a map number your map will replace, for example MAP01 or MAP18 for doom2 or E2M5 or E1M1 for doom or whatever. Just use MAP01.
