cyber-menace Posted July 4, 2003 How do you add Floor and Ceiling textures into a wad without replacing any older textures? 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted July 4, 2003 Simple. The best way I found is to use Wintex, which you can find in the utilities section here. Just have your entries (in this case new flats) ready and place them into their own new wad. You can merge this wad with the iwad for editing purposes. Just be sure to back up your iwad first! 0 Share this post Link to post
Epyo Posted July 4, 2003 I recommend XWE for this jorb. Make an entry called FF_START, and put your 64x64 flat right under it. Put FF_END right under that. Easy breezy. If you wanna add more flats after that, put it anywhere between those 2 markers you just made. 0 Share this post Link to post

There's no need to merge with the iwad - simply rename F_END to FF_END and it'll be fine. 0 Share this post Link to post
cyber-menace Posted July 4, 2003 I've done this, but when I put it into my map there are strange diagonal lines going through the flat. Do they somehow have to be converted into actual DOOM flat textures or can I just use the BMPs. I've tried converting the flats in the wad with the Deepsea Graphics Editor but it won't accept them. It just says that they are textures and not flats even though XWE finds them as floor textures. Why are these strange lines going through the flat and how can I fix them? 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted July 4, 2003 The flats are ordinary 64x64 bitmaps. I don't know about DeePsea (as I only use it for textures and midi lumps) but in Wintex you choose 'select flats', create a new entry and it will count as a flat even if it has a new name (but remember to rename F_END to FF_END) Maybe you should do something similar in DeePsea (if possible)? 0 Share this post Link to post
cyber-menace Posted July 4, 2003 Well I'm not sure what's going on. Maybe if I name FF_START and FF_END to F_START and F_END "BEFORE" I try and convert the flats... maybe it might work. 0 Share this post Link to post
cyber-menace Posted July 5, 2003 ok I found out what the problem was. When I inputed the BMP images into the PWAD I forgot to tell the Deepsea Input Program to use BMP's as flats. It was always set to textures. This caused the glitch so I fixed it and now I know how to add as many new textures, and flats that I want. 0 Share this post Link to post
