How do I split a Doom 2 megawad into Episodes?

[Phob0s Got Hurt Plenty]

I am currently making a map pack in Doom Builder, and I'd like to split the levels into episodes. My problem is that I'm using Doom 2 as my Iwad, forcing me to make it a straight shot through 30 levels (discluding secret ones.) Does anybody here know how to separate the 32 levels into episodes with Doom Builder?

1. Get a WAD editor (DOOM BUILDER IS A LEVEL EDITOR BTW) like Slade 3

2. put your WAD inside Slade

3. create a mapinfo and put and edit this code:

 

clearepisodes

 

episode insertmapnamehere
{
    name = "insertnamehere"
    key = "insertkeyhere"
}

 

//edit the placeholders to your liking. Also, you can put as many episodes as you like. Have Fun!

Thanks for the reply, but I'm a little stuck, I'm unsure what "Key" is, and when I start, I dont get an episode menu, and instead get kicked right into MAP01 after selecting the difficulty.

Key can just be anything. Also, keep trying, dude!

Despite my efforts, no matter what I try, I either get an error message, or dont see the episode menu pop-up, is there anything specific I'm missing?

https://zdoom.org/wiki/MAPINFO/Episode_definition try referring to this, and use the example as a base. Happy Mapping!
