How to port Decorate to EDF?

[Misty]

I would like to use some decorative items and one monster from realm667 page for my upcoming eternity map, but they come as zdoom's decorate and I'm not sure how to port those items and monster into EDF even after reading eternity's wiki several times. I could replace some base items and unused nazi and keen frames, but this is the last option which I would choose. Anyone could explain this into simpler manner?

You're using Alfheim+ syntax ( "thingtype Annihilator : Mobj, 30111" ) but haven't expressly told EDF to use that syntax ("setdialect("ALFHEIM")" above your monster declaration). So, it will be ignored. Your monster's doomednum ("map editor id") is thus 30002, not 30111. There's a spelling mistake in "basictype Mosnter", which ought to read "basictype Monster"... that's what you get from copying @Altazimuth 's example verbatim :P

 

The latter explains your 'ghost' thing, as your monster is missing the basic 'monster' flags. You haven't posted the EDF of your custom rockets, so I can't tell what's wrong there.

 

As for sounds, you're probably pointing to a location that does not exist. Try using the 'vanilla' way of defining monster's sounds, eg "seesound = dswhatever", and having a "dswhatever" in your wad and see if that works, and go from there.

 

Also, you should always end a label with a 'stop', 'goto...' or whatever, because it can get messy if you start to use inheritance. So, a "stop" after AMNI P -1 A_BossDeath". Personally I would also end on a frame that has no codepointer, but that's just me.

I fixed typo when I was pointed out by another user. Actually thing number 30111 worked in builder, even if I had type it manually. In original decorate code, annihilator used cyberdemon rockets and new homing rockets. Anything else works, except rockets and sound. I'll try rewrite code and check your pointed things when I return to computer. 

Edit:
I'm putting original decorate code here, I feel that some steps were skipped at edf definition of annihilator. Ignore brightmap stuff.
