FireSeraphim Posted August 28, 2009 I am now making a new mod. but i have up against a problem. I want to use the episode definition command known as "noskillmenu" to disable the skills menu that appears when you start a new game. But I honestly confess to not knowing completly how to use episode definition. Could anyone enlighten me? 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted August 28, 2009 Well, I've not done this myself, but following the syntax described in the ZDoom Wiki on MAPINFO, it would look something like this: MAPINFO:clearepisodes episode MAP01 // Specify starting map for this episode. { name "My Episode" noskillmenu } map MAP01 "First Map In My Episode" // Other map stuff.I think the engine doesn't need to know what maps are in the episode, just what map to start with. The map definitions themselves will define which map is next in the sequence. 0 Share this post Link to post
FireSeraphim Posted August 28, 2009 Now i got a new problem. when I go to thes this out it keeps on giving me this annoying message. -------------------------------- Script error, "MAPINFO" line 3 bad syntax -------------------------------- and this is what I got in my MAPINFO Data -------------------------------- clearepisodes episode MAP01 // Specify starting map for this episode. { name "Despair" noskillmenu } map map01 "Jungle Base" sky1 rsky1 0.0 music D_RUNNIN next map02 cluster 1 par 250 evenlighting cluster 1 // Sets up the cluster clusterdef 1 //Defines the cluster settings exittext "testing, testing. 123 testing good" //Text that comes up when leaving cluster. music D_READ_M //Normal Text music flat RROCK04 //The flat that's in the background ------------------------------- Now how can my MAPINFO data be wrong. 0 Share this post Link to post
EarthQuake Posted August 28, 2009 Actually, I might have misinterpretted the syntax myself. Seeing as MAPINFO usually doesn't use braces for blocks, try removing the braces I added. Edit: nevermind, the example shown on the Wiki seems to use braces, so I was right about that. It says line 3 is the problem line, so try getting rid of that comment. 0 Share this post Link to post
FireSeraphim Posted August 28, 2009 I tried both suggestion just now and they don't seem to work. I am about to tear my hair out unless there is an anwser to this madness. 0 Share this post Link to post
FireSeraphim Posted August 28, 2009 alright then, if noone has a competent anwser then could anyone please point out a wad that disables difficulty 0 Share this post Link to post
esselfortium Posted August 28, 2009 A new MAPINFO syntax system was added to ZDoom relatively recently; it might be complaining because you're on an older version. 0 Share this post Link to post
Ultraboy94 Posted August 28, 2009 you dont need the braces. example: clearepisodes episode MAP01 name "example episode" noskillmenu 0 Share this post Link to post
Gez Posted August 28, 2009 The old syntax is still supported of course. What's not supported is mixing both old and new in the same lump. Get rid of those braces. 0 Share this post Link to post
