About to make a level of a ship orbiting Mars, and I need a skybox of space, with stars, and Mars somewhat close by. Any ideas on where I could find that Maybe someone has already made one or do I need to make one? Also, how do I bring that into GZDoom Builder?

I wanna play through the Winter's Fury campaign with my buddy, is that possible? Ifso how?

Hey guys, with all the excitement about the upcoming DOOM release, I figured I'd do what I always do and go back to DOOM(1). I plan to get through at least the first chapter today, then maybe take a break and play some of the popular megawads, i.e. Winters Fury. I'm trying to get started on Twitch, and DOOM being among my top 5 games of all time, I figured I'd start there. Here's the link if you'd like to join us: https://www.twitch.tv/countzandor As a fairly new member of the Doom world community, I will also be open to advice and request. May even move over from playing DOOM to editing one of my maps! Come hang out, going live now!

I'm sure most of you Classic Doom fans have played Star Wars: Dark Forces. A game that pretty much was Star Wars copy pasted onto the Doom engine, which made up a large portion of games at the time. But my question is, has anyone ever seen an editor for Dark Forces like we have Doom Builder? I know it being Star Wars and all this is highly unlikely, just curious.

Yeah, part of what I was planning to do for the current level I'm working on includes floating platforms, anyone seen that before?

I've always wanted to be mentored by jesus, lol. But for real, I've got this level I'm working on where I'm gonna be trying some new things I haven't done before, and really just need someone I can go to when I hit a wall. Someone willing to say "hey send me the wad, and I'll take a look at it" testing the level all the way through with me. I've got some big ideas, some things, most of them are pretty logical and seem like they would work in the engine but I just don't know all the best things to do when I need this to do that, or because I set this up now thats broken. My first map went pretty smooth and everything works the way its supposed to. Other then my bland textures.

So what I've taken from all this is I should use GZDoom Builder (I've been using Doom Builder 2), with the Doom2 wad file as a resource (I've been using ultimate Doom) and GZDoom as a test platform. And with it all set up that way I should be able to get the most out of it. I'm not into coding, or re-writing things because I'm not skilled in that area. I just want to use the program to the best of its parameters. About to get started again this week.

So it's been a while since I did any of this stuff, but I just looked and i've been using Doom Builder to make my levels, and I think chocolate doom to play them. Everyone here is talking about ZDoom, so i downloaded ZDoom, but that just lets you play the game. I thought ZDoom, or GZDoom was a builder? Really confused right now, sorry for the total newbness but I just need an explanation.

My friend and I have decided to work on a Megawad together, I'm gonna start fresh so we both use the same programs that way we can transfer the maps between PC's without issue. We plan on making levels with multi floor areas, where rooms will be stacked on each other. I made a post about this recently and they said Doom Legacy, or ZDoom would be a good editor for that. Is there a difference between ZDoom and GZDoom? and i've never heard of Doom Legacy before, I have been using ZDoom should I change to something better? Is there something better? So many questions Also, the last map I made I got a lot of complaints about using the vanilla textures, are there texture packs out there that are better/cooler/more current?

I love where this has gone

Yeah, planning a megawad. Ive had great success with my editing, everything has worked, just as I wanted it to. Doors are a little trouble before you figure them out, but I've got em down now. I use the tutorials a lot, very helpful.

Hope remains! No I don't wanna change game logic, just load up a map that I make in the Brutal Doom mod.

At least I found this place then. "Also if you're not on Windows" - printz I'm totally on windows.

Awwww don't tell me that! Totally just crushed my dreams!

Looks like I've got some testing to do tonight. I wanna make a chapter of 9 levels. Already got 1 down, but I'm still trying to decide which version of doom i want to use along with setting rules and whatnot to my map making.
