Making a map work in PRboom

[Unzipped]

These all may have a simple answer, but I am ignorant on the topic. How exactly do you make a map work in PRboom? What are the limits of a map in it? Why isn't my map working in it? These are things I would like to know.

First of all it has to be in the Doom format. So a ZDoom format map won't work. And what do you mean by it not working? Are you getting any error messages?

It's in Doom2 format right now, and i am getting this error.

Z_Malloc:failure trying to allocate 4294927360 bytes

Do you get this while the wad is loading or only when you go to the actual level?

I think it can be caused by a lot of things... If you could post the wad, that would help a lot.

If you could post the wad, that would help a lot.

How do I do that?

By using a file sharing service. This one, for example: http://www.doomshack.org/upload.php

It's unfinished, but it has an end on the first map.

Ok, I think the problem is that you have pictures in the PNG format inside the wad. You need to convert them to the Doom format with a program like Slade.

Thanks, i'll try that.

The problem was indeed from that. Converted all the graphics to doom format and it worked on my end (your map loads).

Hopefully it works out on your end.
