Sharessa Posted August 14, 2002 I was just wondering if there is any way to make a level in Build...just the walls and such, then convert it into a WAD and add the things and textures. You see, I'm pretty damn good with the build editor, but I prety much suck at the Doom editors other than moving things around and changing their properties and such. So...any suggestions? 0 Share this post Link to post
zark Posted August 14, 2002 I'm sure there's a Doom to Duke level converter... not sure about the other way round though. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted August 14, 2002 Yeah...I have the WAD2MAP program, but I dunno about the other way around. Would it be too complex? 0 Share this post Link to post
GooberMan Posted August 14, 2002 somebody here has already made a map2wad program (check the current deepsea flamewars, it's mentioned in there somewhere) 0 Share this post Link to post
esayeek Posted August 14, 2002 howdy! that would be my utility. check the idgames archives for map2wad.zip edit: btw if you can't run it on your system (it is a dos proggie, but even then it should run on 2k/xp), i have compiled a win32 executable (although it's not in the .zip) 0 Share this post Link to post

What source port is the wad for when it's converted from duke? What replaces what? Ex. Trooper: Pistol Guy. 0 Share this post Link to post
mmnpsrsoskl Posted August 14, 2002 All it does is take existing architechture, and convert it to a Doom PWAD. So if you like part of a Duke3D/Shadow Warrior (Doesn't work with Blood, I will try Redneck Rampage on it in a sec), use map2wad on the map (extract it using XWE or similar)...and HEY PRESTO you have a Doom PWAD. 0 Share this post Link to post

I don't really do much with Doom besides download wads from time to time, so I'm not familiar with the websites. 0 Share this post Link to post
