Custom Enemies

[Mindless Rambler]

I was wondering what I would need in order to make custom enemies for Wads. Thanks in advance.

notepad and a creative editing brain

??? *confused*

There is one way, but you'll need to use the Zdoom source port.

Check out this bit here

You can also create custom enemies for the Edge and Eterntiy source ports too. I suggest you choose what source port you like the best then go from there.

[Mindless Rambler]

Thanks. One thing though, being the JDoom nerd that I am, can I use them in JDoom?

[Kaiser]

yes, you can make one by modifying objects.ded.. however, you can only use whats availible (you can't add additional frames, or things)..

[Mindless Rambler]

I know I could just replace the Spider Mastermind sprites with my red Cyberdemon to make a new boss, but I need to boost its health up. Can I use this to do that?

[Kaiser]

oh yeah you can change its health etc..

[Mindless Rambler]

Obviously I would need to change the width of it to match teh normal cyberdemon, can i do that?

[Kaiser]

well, take a look at objects.ded and see. It pretty much allows you to change any values for any thing. Including height, radius, health etc..

Can you post a screen of your red cyber?

If so here's a good place for that stuff.

It Jdoom's deds confuse you (as they confuse me) try dehacked, problem is that Jdoom doesn't work with "deh" patches, but all the other ports do (probably not Edge).

[TheDarkArchon]

JDoom does read DeHackEd patches, it's just limited to old style patches (I.E No BEX).

And EDGE 1.29 can read DeHackEd patches DEH -> EDGE was been implemented internally.

Hey DarkArchon, where are the quotes in your signature from? :-D

[TheDarkArchon]

One of the most hilarious pieces of literature I've ever read*

*because it's so badly written

[gemini09]

Riiiiiiiightright........Well, it's only bad if you take it seriously. It's fun entertainment, that's for sure.

There needs to be an animated movie based on this comic.

Editing to say HAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHA. I've read it before but I forgot the brilliance of it.

I was mainly just going for an "I'm a pissed off bad mother ****er" kind of look. Red does that nicely. Now imagine fighting him only hes armed with a Super Chaingun and has around 5000-7500 health (i havent decided yet)

Also I have the ZDoom custom enemy thingy done, how do I implement him now?

[Kaiser]

well, first you will need to save it into the wad and name the entry 'decorate'

I never said it wasn't fun. It's just so badly written (E.G "I'm radioactive. That can't be good". No shit sherlock!) that it's funny :)

I'm not exactly sure how to put a .lmp file into my wad with wintex without replacing an important .lmp file in Doom 2, help?

[TheDarkArchon]

Try using XWE

[Carnage]

Don't put it in your Iwad, make a Pwad...

[Mindless Rambler]

no i meant in wintex if i try to use Load Entry From File it says that it will replace an IWAD file

also heres my lmp file, im not sure if everything checks out okay as i did wing it...

looks like the whole thing has been red tinted, and oversaturated, try desat and vary your colors, esp on the stomach.

It should work now. (Modifications in bold)

[Mindless Rambler]

thanks alot, but how to i put it in teh wad? do i have to replace data in the doom 2 wad like wintex says?

EDIT-
Also on that Cyberdemon II picture was just a concept thing. It won't be so saturated although it will retain its current amout of red skin.
