Kappes Buur Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) Q: What can I do so I don't have missing custom texture what? Do I add the Custom texture Wad files in slade in my map. Or is the Add wad option in Gzdoom already done that and I don't have to add anymore (since I added custom texture from there) A: It would be preferable to add all custom resources, textures or sprites or whatever, directly into your pwad. Having to load a resource pwad on top of the play pwad is a drag (literally). That being said, normally custom resources are added using Slade3. See the Slade3 WIKI Adding textures for walls or flats between TX_START and TX_END markers has the advantage that they can be used in either case, as a wall texture or on a floor/ceiling. Q: Anway I also need help with Background pic and title name. How do i change the title Name itself, how do i do it? A: I have an example for a TITLEMAP. Open it in Slade3. Maybe that will help, or do a search at https://forum.zdoom.org for Titlemap Q: Or add a picture. A: Again, this is done using Slade3. As an example, open DOOM2 in Slade3 and take a look at the lump TITLEPIC, Then copy that into your map, or use a different image. Notice the image size of TITLEPIC (320x200). Since you play in GZDOOM, you can use the png file format. 1 Share this post Link to post

Kappes Buur Posted December 29, 2018 (edited) There are two important WIKIs https://doomwiki.org/wiki/Entryway and https://zdoom.org/wiki/Main_Page , when mapping for GZDoom, in any format Doom format, Doom in Hexen format or UDMF. While perusing the WIKI it does not hurt to enter terms of interest into the Search Toolbar or go to https://zdoom.org/wiki/Special:AllPages One never knows, you might find what you are looking for. :) 6 hours ago, Finnthemapmaker said: But what is a Pwad and where do I locate it. And by slade3 you mean normal slade right. Sorry for the dumb questons I am new here. For example PWAD or IWAD and yes, the latest Slade is Slade3 . Since you are just starting out with mapping for DOOM, I would suggest to do some reading, for example . 0 Share this post Link to post
