Custom skill levels and episodes

[protgent]

So i want to make custom skills. and episode names. does anybody know how to?

[Empyre]

When you say Episode Demo, you are creating an episode that begins with the map named Demo.  The error message says that the game couldn't find a map named Demo.  You should have Episode E1M1 or Episode MAP01 or something like that.

 

Also, you misspelled easy in the spawnfilter for the GetBetter skill.

Everything you need to know is here: https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO

 

If you still have questions after that, I will be happy to help.

AmmoFactor = 2.0
Name = "Miss. Jones"
}

//Episodes
ClearEpisodes

Episode E1M1 {
name = "Demo"
next = E1M1
}

 

(mapinfo)

map E1M1 "Traning" {
    sky1 = "f_sky"
    cluster = 1
    music = D_E1M1
    name = "Traning"
    next = E1M1
}

cluster 1 {
    flat = OGRATB02
    music = "1"
    exittext = 
    "thank you for playing my demo!",
    "it took me a while to learn a new",
    "type of coding.",
    " ",
    "but im happy i got this relesed!",
    "i will be working on the full game now.",
    "the next level will have sound and music.",
    "but no map, sorry,",
}

 

edit: i forgot that it says in cluster, next level, frick

 

edit 2: it wont display the level name.

The ZMAPINFO lump name was introduced when ZDoom updated the format of MAPINFO, so that a wad can have MAPINFO in the old format for ports that still need the old format, like ZDaemon for example, and the same wad can have ZMAPINFO for ZDoom or other ports that support the new format.  If ZDoom (or GZDoom or Zandronum or QZDoom) sees the ZMAPINFO lump, that lump will be loaded and the MAPINFO lump will be ignored.

 

My point is that you need to put all the MAPINFO stuff in one lump.  The part that you put in MAPINFO was never loaded because the game saw a ZMAPINFO to load.  Put it all in one lump, which you can call either MAPINFO or ZMAPINFO.  Luckily, you have all of it in the new format, because you can't mix the old and new formats together in the same lump.

 

Also, the Episode definitions format doesn't include a "next" entry.
