My flats are screwd up...

Recommended Posts

I'm trying to import some new flats, but they keep comming up all "tootie-fruty". I've never dome this kind of thing before, sp there's a good chance I did it wrong: All I basicly did was import the flat into the wad between F_start and F_end. Have I missed a step?

As i was told by xenophon a while back, you'll have to "convert to doom flat". I know how to do this in xwe at least. What you wanna do is load your new flat then go into image... convert to doom flat. This option wont be there if it's already in the f_start/f_end markers though iirc. Also you may want to put the flats between ff_start and f_end instead. Hope that helps.

Is the flat in DOOM palette?
Is the flat a gif or pcx file?

The flat lump should be exactly 4096 bytes long. If it isn't, you have imported it wrong.

Also, flats in PWADs should be between markers named "FF_START" and "F_END".

Guide for retards to avoid tutti fruiti:

1) Open your wad in XWE
2) Load your flat
3) Select your flat then look in the "image" dropdown menu at the top
4) Select "save as doom flat"
5) Create 2 markers, FF_START and F_END
6) Put your flat between them
7) Test
8) See it works
9) Say "ah"
