How Do I Make A Level Hub?

[Moo Moo Armageddon]

i want to make a level hub for my game but i cant figure out how

 

I'm using Eureka Doom Editor

 

[Alper002]

Look into making a MAPINFO first, so that the maps are set up in a way that the hub is properly set up.

Next, map for Hexen format or UDMF and use action #74 to warp the player to another map. The player start "arg0" refers to the first "argument" of the non-action a player start has. This way, you can make two warps to the same map lead to different parts of the same map. That is, assuming you want a Hexen-style hub.

If you want regular level progression with a hub map in-between, I'm less sure on the exact implementation. Making use of ACS, particularly world variables will most likely be helpful. Perhaps you should take a look at the implementation of the mods you want it to be like?

Eureka should be okay for hub maps.

As mentioned by Alper002 : DiHF or UDMF.

 

Rex made a tutorial about constructing hub levels.

Check out his pwads: phobos-g.pk3 and Paranoid.pk3

Use GZDoom to play.

i could be wrong but i doubt it

Sorry for crossposting.

I had another look at Eureka. It does not support UDMF.

You could try Doom in Hexen format, though.

For hub levels in DOOM pwads you need to use the Hexen format and ZDoom as the engine, for example

 

 

Did you read the linked text?

Some work was done to support UDMF format maps, but it was not finished and hence disabled in this release.

 

Also read http://eureka-editor.sourceforge.net/?n=Main.Changes127

- beginning of support for UDMF maps (not usable yet...)

 

If you need to know about mapping formats, this is the spot to get answers.

 

[edit]

Construct the map with Eureka.

Then switch to Slade3 to set up the MAPINFO lump.
