Hey Guys, Im trying to make stairs going down Via Switch. I managed to get Stairs going UP from tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMeOhhjdHZU However, how do i make them build downward? I tried inverting the facings of line defs I unable set a negative amount in "Step Amount" Is this actually achievable? The other Stair options i have are Build Stairs Down Build Stairs up Build Stairs Down (sync) Build Stairs up (sync) Build Stairs Generic Build Build Stairs Doom I've tired all of them, not having much luck, following tutorial to the T i get it working up using build stairs doom. Is this possible? when i search "doombuilder stairs down", i don't see much at all.

OK, so here is the layout .................*----------------------------* .................| .................| ] - Switch .......--------|________ .......|Secret | | | | <- Stairs Build Downwards from Flat floor .......|Room . | | | | .......--------|-------- .................| .................| .................| .................*----------------------------*

Ill try those things mentioned. Thanks guys Ill repost here if i find any other solutions. Maybe make all steps an independent tag number and set a script to fire off a string of commands to make each sector lower as per script :)

I am using Doom (UDMF) format. :)

Hey guys, I am trying to make a variable increase by 1 each time button is pressed thus making it move to the next song. Songs 1 thru 10 for now. I figured it needs to be a variable, see below code I know its a mess and there is better way to do it, last i coded was qbasic back on a 286sx I included a printf to show me the variable changing and the value every time i press the button increases by 3, but the song only changes once and that is it, keeps restarting the same song when i press the button and increasing the variable by another 3???. #include "zcommon.acs" int music = 1; //Music Start Variable 1 script 1 open //FOG - JUST IGNORE This is something else { Sector_SetFade (1,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (2,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (3,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (4,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (5,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (6,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (7,150,150,150); Sector_SetFade (8,150,150,150); } Script 3 (void) //JukeBOX, by switch music { print(s:"music is " , d: music); Delay (3); // Wait for next frame if (music == 1); { SetMusic("d_runnin"); music=music+1; } if(music == 2); { SetMusic("d_stalks"); music=music+1; } if (music == 3); { SetMusic("d_betwee"); music=music+1; } if(music == 4); { SetMusic("d_doom"); } if (music == 5); { SetMusic("d_the_da"); } if(music == 6); { SetMusic("d_shawn"); } if (music == 7); { SetMusic("d_ddtblu"); } if(music == 8); { SetMusic("d_in_cit"); } if (music == 9); { SetMusic("d_runnin"); } if(music == 10); { SetMusic("d_dead"); } } I dont get compile errors. Just the button press the text changes increases by 3 but the music track is always the same. Thanks for any help.

How about For and Next loops? Do that have similar in ACS? Script 5 (void) { for a=1 to 255; Sector_SetFade (11,a,255,0); Delay (3) next a } No Good, So i try this Script 5 (void) { INT a=0; until (a=255); Sector_SetFade (11,a,255,0); a++; Delay (3); } still no good. Script 5 (void) { INT color=0; while (color<=255); Sector_SetFade (11,color,255,0); color++; Delay (3); } This one Compiled ok, but i get runaway script error ingame

Well Thanks to you i actually getting less sleep cause i was gonna give up. LOL But you gave me hope :) I used what you taught me and got my sector changing 4 colors with one switch. So happy - Now ill go to sleep.. Script 4 (void) { sector++; if(sector>4) sector = 1; if(sector == 1) Sector_SetFade (11,255,255,0); //yellow if(sector == 2) Sector_SetFade (11,255,0,255); //Purple if(sector == 3) Sector_SetFade (11,0,255,255); //Blue if(sector == 4) Sector_SetFade (11,0,0,0); //Normal }

Awesome, i jut cut and paste it worked first go :) LOL Your awesome, thanks ive been up all night trying to figure this out. Now ill get some sleep. Like u said there is better way by using choice... sorry switch/case Im a bit old school and used to line numbers and Gotos lol Really, helped me heaps. EDIT: Also i am going to try make a switch now that changes the room colours Red Blue ect, one switch with 4-5 settings.. Edit 2: Actually Nah... Im going to bed.... :P

Thanks so much, ill try that now.

Ahhh yes it would show errors and warnings, but due to the amount it would then lock up freeze, non-responding ect. To answer your Question more correctly.

NEWB MAP Doom Hey Guys, Got a bunch of Qs if any of u can help. I love Doom and recently got back into due to brutal mod. It’s a godsend for doom players. Anyway I am making wads and haven’t been able to find answers to current questions. Obviously I have checked out a lot of utube and online resources, I still have unanswered questions. Im using Doombuilder2 (ACS scripts) . XWE, Slade, Zandronium, Doom seeker 1. Should I be making new WADS (levels) based off the Doom ultimate (doom 1 in hexen format) or Doom2 (hexen format) – Ive notices a lot of wads on internet are DoomU wads, is there a reason for this over Doom2? 2. Can I get a HIRes pack working for me in Doom Wads (U or 2) with Brutal.pk3 (http://dhtp.freelanzer.com/). The one i tried doesnt work for zandronium. I also need a fool proof way to be able to add my own custom Textures, sounds (cause i want to dedicate a level to a friend who passed away and want to use his photo and voice) 3. Is there an easy way to Manage textures without having to bundle my level with a bunch of Wads just to work, surely it can be made one big WAD, then when I go to make a new WADs in doombuilder 2, I can select my Wad (not the doom2.wad, for example mydoom2.wad (which contains all doom1 & 2, Plutonia, TNT and custom sounds, music and textures to use as a base to make new levels)) because it will already have the combination of 4-5 texture wads? This is so confusing I hope I make sense. 4. I have good music wads, however I want to play doom 1 music in doom 2 possible? (the doom 1 MEtal music is far superior to doom 2 i think and i want to hear DoomU E01L01 while playing a Doom2 E01M01 map – Within doom2 I can skip songs idmus01 idmus02 ect, however is there a way to make a button, use the script editor in doombuilder 2 to change the music in game? So far every time I try screwing in XWE to do some of this stuff, patches ect it crashes? Ive lost a few good maps due to this. So far im loving the map building, I just finished an awesome map, if anyone wana try it, It needs additional wad to be bundled with it called darkftex.wad. This map I made use of earthquakes, Skyboxes, Bridges, Texture Scrolling, lifts, doors, nukage, teleports and made it only possible to finish with 2 players (like forced Coop) One of the battles with a cyberdeamon happens in the skybox, lol – took me about 25 hours  I’m really enjoying this. Thanks for any help.

Figured out the music stuff. OK Main reason i wanted to change the music was cause i make all my maps in E01L01 whatever, so sick of same music. I even use this wad which is cool Doom2HDmusic v2.wad. But still sick of hearing the same song, i mean 24+ hours straight it gets annoying :) Other options were Slade/XWE add own Midi. But i just want a song change. With help from this vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMb9Jt2WFqI i found a way I created a LineDef, opened the ACS Script editor and did this: #include "zcommon.acs" Script 1 (VOID) { SetMusic("d_doom",0); } I then made the sidedef a switch use/press, set the special to 80 Execute Script. Selected my script and it works a charm. BTW d_doom is track 5 i think from doom2 see here http://doomwiki.org/wiki/Doom_II_music Now i am going to make a jukebox style thingy :) -- also you can set the linedef to walk over and put it right under the player spawn. So as soon as they move the music changes. Now having trouble trying to find the brightness option in gzbuilder. Usually i just clicked birghtness tool in doom builder and right click drag up and down for brightness? Can do via sector options, but prefer old way

[QUOTE]MaxED said: [B]By "crash", do you mean this window: Yes, that was it, but i think that was just ineptitude on my part?

Problem at moment, i'm sure ill figure it out, but anyhow its this. Sky1 to Sky3 Textures don't appear as proper sky textures, just normal tiled 128s. There is obviously more options than I'm used to in this ceiling and floor section, which is awesome!! What am i missing here? i could make a skybox.?.?.. on second thought wouldnt work cause the sky texture in the skybox would still be tiled. lol .... ok figured it out i think I have to use the texture from Doom2.wad called F-sky1. the others wont work as proper skys (im using one additional texture wad darkftex.wad) just normal tiles (called Sky1, Sky2, Sky3). Even if i set the sector special to 200 sky2 (mapinfo)it doesn't work. So gotta use F-sky always? really?

It was when first launched. I created new WAD doom (UDMF) and clicked OK, it crashed when i havent configured the wad sources. IT ok now. So the crashed were "User Error"

... Works with Brutal Mod Too. So happy :)

Crashed a hell of alot till i configued properly. AWESOME, for Example a linedef's options variety has imporved with options like: Pass Use On / Repeatable Action / When projectile crosses / Switch height check / front side only \ player can use back / When monster bumps \ when mosnter walks over \ when player uses \ when player bumps \ On projectile impact \ When monster press use Just seems to be a hell of alot more options here in map building using this. Thanks Zed

Just an update. Ive installed GZbuilder from here http://devbuilds.drdteam.org/doombuilder2-gzdb/ So recommend make new maps doom(udmf) format OK... Lets see how goes. Ill keep adding info on progress here for others.

... Hell yeah it does. IT makes Doom beautiful again :) Thanks for your help, ill check that out too.

Thank you, ok ill try that. Would Maps made GZDoom builder in UDMF still work with the brutal mod? (thats the kicker right there) Last night i spent 4 Hours on a new level, was screwing around with linedefs making circles and stuff and BANG Crashed, but none of my backups opened so i lost it all. So yeah ill try GZdoom Builder. Waded crashed heaps back in the day, Doombuilder2 crashes when you try to do advanced stuff, XWE sucks. So happy i found some ppl to learn from here.

Sry, i mean Doom 1 just ultimate. Getting started on another idea now :) Thanks ill try what you said. any advise for the other stuff? (i did just sign up to ask all this lol :P) i just change that in my main post to doom 1 / ultimate :)
