geekmarine Posted July 27, 2002 Hey, I just got a new computer with Win XP, and I can't get Doomcad to work on it. I was wondering if there is anything I can do about it, or if I'm just stuck and have to get a new level editor. I am really hoping there is a solution, and that it's not just incompatible with Windows XP, as I am rather fond of Doomcad, and am much more proficient with it than any other editor. This is a dreadful turn of events, and any help at all would be greatly appreciated. 0 Share this post Link to post
Shaviro Posted July 27, 2002 Try messing around with the compatibility tools. (properties.) 0 Share this post Link to post

geekmarine Posted July 27, 2002 Er, nope, I had already tried that, it was no good. Are there any editors similar to Doomcad or anything, if all else fails? 0 Share this post Link to post

Don't know what you mean by "similar". Doomcad was sort of odd. It had prefabs and then it did the DEU dot-to-dot thing. No other editor does that mix. You can try DeePsea ( sbsoftware.com ) or WA - both Windows editors. WA is all prefabs, DeePsea is prefabs and/or linedrawing. Or you can use DETH and have all the dot-to-dot you want if you got used to doing it that way. A few simple prefabs too. 0 Share this post Link to post
geekmarine Posted July 28, 2002 Okay, sorry to bother you people, the crisis has been averted. I got myself a copy of Wadauthor, and peace has been restored to my quadrant of the universe. Phew, actually, I'm starting to like Wadauthor, and I haven't really had any problems at all adjusting to the new interface. Hehe, excuse me whilst I go off to do some level editing... 0 Share this post Link to post
