Help with XWE or MAPINFO

[spaztacus]

Are there any tutorials out there for XWE or just on how to change MAPINFO? I want to play around with changing the names of the maps both on the screen between maps (can't think of the right name for that right now for some reason) and when you open up the mini map for Doom2.

Any info would help. Or a wad with examples of this that I can open up and learn from.


Thanks

It's just a text file. Take doom2.txt from the mapinfo folder in zdoom.pk3 (or compatible), edit it, and put it in your WAD or PK3 as the MAPINFO lump with XWE ("load" the lump).

EDIT: Hah, Gez, nice brain fart I had there (based on using the browser's pull-down URL history to find the link late at night, I would say).

XWE supports DECORATE but not MAPINFO? O_o

Or, just create your own lump and name it MAPINFO, and fill in the details there, as shown in that URL.
